"Black Hawk Down"
----------------------------------------
The Battle of Mogadishu is an infamous battle between US Task Force Ranger and the Somali Militia. The operation that led to the engagement was supposed to be a quick one, with the objective of capturing prominent lieutenants of the local warlord, Aidid.
However, due to a series of events, the operation quickly brokedown and an intense battle occured, lasting till the next day. During the battle, three Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, with the most notable being the two Black Hawks that crashed in hostile territory. Attempts to secure the crash site of the first helicopter led to many casulaties among the Ranger and Delta Force operators taking part in the mission.
Eventually, the Rangers and Delta Force operators would be extracted out of the hostile zone with the help of the nearby 10th Mountain Division and UN forces.
