HISTORICAL ACCURACY (Q&A):

When did the Battle of Kamdesh take place?

The battle unfolded on October 3, 2009. It involved a small force of 54 U.S. soldiers (Bravo Troop 3-61), in addition to their Afghan and Latvian allies, at the remote Combat Outpost Keating in northeastern Afghanistan near the town of Kamdesh. The Outpost true story reveals that the soldiers were surrounded by more than 300 Taliban fighters, many of whom were rushing in from Pakistan, which was only 14 miles from COP Keating. The logistical location of the outpost, which was located deep in a valley surrounded by three steep mountains, put the soldiers at an enormous disadvantage. Without adequate support, they were left to fight for their lives against overwhelming odds.

Combat Outpost (COP) Keating was located in northeastern Afghanistan in the Nuristan Province.
