I don't suppose that it mentioned the 3 Australian SAS soldiers who were attatched to the 10th Mountain div? Or the the Distinguished Service Medal (DSM) 2 of them were awarded for their actions, plus the 100 other SAS soldiers also involved in operation anaconda?

One such incident involved a patrol calling in airstrikes and directly engaging the enemy during a CSAR mission when a CH-47D Chinook was shot down by Taliban/al-Qa'ida forces. The patrol commander of that patrol was later awarded with the Distinguished Service Cross for his outstanding leadership during the CSAR mission.
