1
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.120
My name is Terry 

2
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.160
Shepherd and I will be your guide
 into the world of close quarter battle.

3
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:31.800
I'm a current U.S. 

4
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.440
Army Green Beret, and I have fought
 in two armed conflicts in the Middle East.

5
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.640
Initially, I was trained to fight in
 the European theater to protect the U.S.

6
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.640
and its Western allies
 from the Soviet Union.

7
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:44.600
During the heart of a Cold War. 

8
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.560
As a Green Beret,
 I had to learn an Eastern Bloc language

9
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.400
and be prepared to infiltrate behind enemy
 lines, to link up with train and fight

10
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:56.240
alongside Partizans to defeat the Red Army
 in their very own backyard.

11
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.960
In other words, I had to be really good
 at guerrilla warfare.

12
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:03.040
Although the Cold War is technically over, 

13
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.080
we now face a new global
 conflict terrorism.

14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.160
To combat this threat, 

15
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.240
I've got to be an expert
 in the techniques of close quarter battle.

16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.120
Together, we'll explore how elite soldiers
 and police units use these

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.240
specific techniques,

18
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.720
weapons and technologies 

19
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.480
to defeat their enemies
 at very close range.

20
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.320
The term close quarter
 battle is used to describe scenarios

21
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:28.880
that police and military face
 in both urban and rural environments.

22
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.320
Although the origin of close quarters,
 battle goes back to sword fighting

23
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:35.680
and hand-to-hand combat today, it's
 used primarily to describe the techniques.

24
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:40.280
The small teams are confronting the enemy
 inside a building or within a compound.

25
00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:45.920
Stairwells, hallways and rooms always pose
 dangerous and unknown variables.

26
00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:51.720
From basic muzzle awareness, weapons
 transitions to silent communication,

27
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.920
all police and military units
 need to be as good as they can possibly be

28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.320
at close quarters battle. 

29
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.320
In today's episode,
 we will take a look at the U.S.

30
00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:05.480
Army's Delta Force
 and how they are deployed in counterterror

31
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.640
activities and larger
 battlefield operations the world over.

32
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.880
Specifically today,
 we will look at the daring rescue of Kurt

33
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.560
Muse from a Panama prison
 during the operation. Just cause.

34
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:26.120
Then we will look at how fast roping
 has changed the way

35
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.440
special operators
 get into and out of the battle space.

36
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.680
We will go into the head
 of a member of a U.S.

37
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.200
Army Delta Force team. 

38
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:42.600
Finally, we have a look
 at some of the equipment used during Delta

39
00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.520
Force operations, such as the M4, the MP

40
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.240
five and Night Vision Optics.

41
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.360
In the seventies, Colonel Beckwith, a U.S.

42
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.920
Army Special Forces officer,
 realized that the U.S. was vulnerable.

43
00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:04.280
We didn't have a national asset
 to deal with a terrorist threat.

44
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.080
He decided to solve that problem. 

45
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.440
He went to England, trained with the SARS,
 went through the selection

46
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:12.520
process and figured out how to organize
 that for the U.S..

47
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.320
He basically modeled it
 and brought it back to us.

48
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.600
Delta Force became reality. 

49
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:21.520
They're now called CAG,
 Combat Applications Group.

50
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:24.880
CAG and SEAL Team Six are national force

51
00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:27.440
to deal with any incoming
 terrorist threat.

52
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.880
All throughout this conflict,
 they have continued to hone

53
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:34.560
and refine the art of CQ B
 and every unit in the United States.

54
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.720
Whether it's a police unit
 or Special Forces unit

55
00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:40.720
has benefited directly from what they do.

56
00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:45.360
In 1989, in Panama
 City, Panama American Kurt

57
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.360
Muse was imprisoned for setting up anti
 Noriega regime radio stations.

58
00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:51.760
Now, the State Department
 had a plan to get him out, 

59
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.080
which they gave to Delta Force, 

60
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.480
but it was postponed several times
 because of political considerations

61
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.280
until they decided to do it
 jointly with Operation

62
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.760
just cause the removal of Manuel
 Noriega from power.

63
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.960
In order to be successful, the Delta
 guys knew they had to get in quickly,

64
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.880
eliminate any threat to Curt Muse
 and get him back to friendly forces.

65
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.560
This was a classic C mission. 

66
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.800
They came in directly through the roof, 

67
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.880
cleared the building
 to where Curt Muse was brought directly

68
00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:21.320
to the roof to be lifted out 

69
00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:24.360
by helicopters, which came exactly
 when they were supposed to.

70
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:26.680
But as all of us in the military know, 

71
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.040
even our best plans
 don't always go the way we want them to.

72
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.520
So the rescue team had curfews
 in their hands, but it wasn't over yet.

73
00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:38.200
On the way back to friendly forces,
 the helicopter carrying news crashed.

74
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:40.720
He was uninjured,
 but several of the operators were.

75
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.960
Another team found themselves
 in the unenviable position

76
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:47.400
of having to get out from enemy lines
 with injured men among them.

77
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.160
They were adaptive. 

78
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.160
They're able to signal aircraft overhead. 

79
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:52.760
It was able to call an armored unit 

80
00:04:52.760 --> 00:04:55.480
that came and rescue that
 for every Scooby mission.

81
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.000
We know that something
 is going to go wrong.

82
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.880
It always does and it always will. 

83
00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:03.040
So our plans have to try to account
 for all those contingencies.

84
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.240
We can't plan for everything. 

85
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.400
And at the end of the day,
 you have to do what they did, 

86
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:07.960
roll with it and do the best you can.

87
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.560
Now, let's have a look at how 

88
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.720
the actual Delta Force mission played out.

89
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.400
During Operation Acid Gambit 

90
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:38.440
Night Vision Optics were used
 by all branches of the military,

91
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.560
from helicopter pilots all the way
 to the Delta Force team on the ground.

92
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.480
This provided the operators
 a crucial advantage over their opponents.

93
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.480
Night vision and thermal vision
 are two different things.

94
00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:56.080
Night vision refers to sensitive optics
 that can pick up

95
00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:59.520
extremely low level
 ambient light and increase its visibility.

96
00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:04.600
Thermal imagery or optics that actually
 see and reveal heat signature.

97
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.520
In this way, they can essentially see
 human bodies in vehicles

98
00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:13.360
very clearly from long distances
 during darkness.

99
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.080
Delta Force was the first
 to really utilize this weapon

100
00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:21.520
and explore that utility
 in close quarter battle situations.

101
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.600
During Operation Acid Gambit, 

102
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.320
Delta Force was equipped with M-4 assault
 rifles, an MP, five submachine guns.

103
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.560
Let's have a closer look at the M4 rifle.

104
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.400
So is the M4 A1 car being.

105
00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:39.200
You can see already
 it's a much shorter weapon. 

106
00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:42.120
It's got an extendable
 stock can be very close, medium

107
00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:45.280
or a little bit further
 however you like to use this same iron

108
00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:48.960
sights 30 round magazine all of that same
 you see on here a suppressor.

109
00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:52.000
A suppressor is not a silencer.
 Guns are not silent.

110
00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:55.320
It takes the high frequency
 sound of the round away so that far away

111
00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:57.760
people don't know you're there
 and the sound gets diluted.

112
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.880
This is a great weapon for paratroopers
 and special ops guys.

113
00:08:01.880 --> 00:08:02.800
It goes everywhere. 

114
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.360
It's really short, easy to transport
 vehicles and much better to conceal.

115
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.880
Really good weapon,
 very light, very simple.

116
00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:10.880
You can pull it in really tight

117
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:12.800
or extend it out for you. 

118
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.120
We want to take a longer,
 maybe more accurate shot, very compact.

119
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.080
Great for airborne
 special operations units. 

120
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.480
In order for operators to retain
 the element of surprise and speed,

121
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.200
they often have to descend
 from a helicopter.

122
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.840
Operation Ascent Gambit was a nighttime
 helicopter insertion operation.

123
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:37.280
When Delta Force units
 are using helicopter insertions,

124
00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:40.880
they have to be prepared to use rope
 repelling methods to descend.

125
00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:47.400
There are two primary
 groping methods used by Special Forces.

126
00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:51.560
The first one is repelling, which was used
 during Operation Acid Gambit.

127
00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:55.560
When repelling. The operator uses
 a harness, a thin rope

128
00:08:55.880 --> 00:08:58.760
that has a braking system carabiners
 attached to his harness.

129
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:02.400
All the operator has to do
 when he wants his descent to stop

130
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.280
is to squeeze the rope in his lower hand
 and he will come to an immediate halt.

131
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.160
The second way of descending into a battle
 zone is fast roping.

132
00:09:11.640 --> 00:09:15.440
Here, operators grab on to a thicker rope
 and use their gloved hands

133
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.920
and feet as their braking system. 

134
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.200
I'm here with Florida, 

135
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.680
the national police force, and today
 the training and air operations.

136
00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:36.440
QB demands that you be ready
 to give you a target

137
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.280
and what you can. 

138
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.400
Coming up, I will be fast roping
 with an elite anti-terror police unit.

139
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.520
And we will also look at h r t

140
00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:48.240
known as helicopter rope
 suspension technique.

141
00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:59.800
C QB or close quarter battle is
 the term used by elite

142
00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:03.480
military and police for the techniques
 used in close battle situations

143
00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:06.560
from built up urban areas
 to more rural compounds

144
00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:11.440
. We are looking at
 how special forces, like the U.S.

145
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.480
Army's Delta Force, used close quarter
 battle techniques

146
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.840
to stay alive in highly dangerous
 military operations.

147
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.520
Though I am somewhere
 in the Czech Republic. 

148
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:24.520
I thought you were not training 

149
00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:28.760
compounds were not stand for food
 for which I hope the Sozzani.

150
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.960
This is the rapid response
 national police force of the Czech

151
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.040
Republic, a really elite unit.

152
00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:38.960
Today I am practicing my fast
 roping with them.

153
00:11:39.800 --> 00:11:43.040
So before we could jump into any high risk
 operation, like fast

154
00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:45.400
roping from a helicopter,
 you've got to kind of start slow.

155
00:11:45.400 --> 00:11:48.160
We call it the crawl walk run principle.

156
00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:50.680
So where to start from a static tower?

157
00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:54.520
Get a few dry runs in there
 when it go ahead and move to the aircraft,

158
00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.720
which, of course, adds
 a lot more risk and danger.

159
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:00.480
So you prevent go. 

160
00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:17.440
I think we can move on to helicopter now.

161
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.920
The main issue of rappelling
 is that the operators, equipment

162
00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:03.960
and clothing is hindered
 when lowering himself.

163
00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:08.400
Also, after the descent,
 the operator must detach himself

164
00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:10.520
from the harness
 before he can go into battle.

165
00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:13.760
With the invention of fast
 roping, operators

166
00:13:13.760 --> 00:13:16.800
are now able to descend faster
 and unhindered by equipment,

167
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.520
even though it is more dangerous
 not being attached to a roping system.

168
00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:31.720
The rope must be thick,
 at least 40 millimeters

169
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.040
in order to not be jerked around
 by the movements of the helicopter.

170
00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:33.760
All right. No, but.

171
00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:37.880
At first we looked out there to be like
 really high because the world is high.

172
00:14:37.880 --> 00:14:40.600
But these guys are really good. 

173
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:42.880
Dry runs and rehearsals. 

174
00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:45.720
I thought this enough times. Fast food.

175
00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:54.200
Do that. Okay. After my helicopter run,
 I head downrange with a firearms

176
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.520
instructor to look at the H
 and KMP five. S.D.

177
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.560
The Heckler Koch MP five submachine gun
 family has many sizes and calibers.

178
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.520
Today I'm firing the nine millimeter 

179
00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:09.760
suppressed version, similar to the type
 Delta Force used during Acid Gambit.

180
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.640
I swear that we're in a training complex 

181
00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:13.080
where some of the best
 shooters in the world 

182
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:14.600
but have one of their
 firearms instructors. 

183
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.600
So he's going to take me through
 some of the weapons. 

184
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.320
These six with integrated solvents.

185
00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:22.080
So the suppressor
 is actually built into the weapon 

186
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.800
and you see you don't remove it at all. 

187
00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:26.760
It's part of the system
 to remove this building.

188
00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:30.120
How have you any issues
 with the performance of that with regard

189
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.120
to, you know, cleaning or malfunctions
 or anything like that?

190
00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:37.040
We don't have a special malfunctions, 

191
00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:39.120
but you have to clean it a little more.

192
00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:40.480
It's cool. It's good. 

193
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.600
Yeah. Because of the suppressor, it's
 going to get dirtier in the gas.

194
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.520
It'll get out as much as it, right?

195
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:48.320
Yeah, I like that. 

196
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.560
I like the. I like the way that feels. 

197
00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:53.240
Nice. Balance is easy. Hit.

198
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.480
Come up. Gotcha. 

199
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.640
Nice now. Cool. All right.

200
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.720
Coming up, we go inside the head of a U.S.

201
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.800
Delta Force team
 as they rescue American Kurt Muse.

202
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.040
And we will analyze Operation Acid Gambit.

203
00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:25.640
Sea QB or close quarter
 battle is the term used by elite

204
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.280
military and police for the techniques
 used in close battle situations.

205
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.400
From built up urban areas
 to more rural compounds.

206
00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:38.760
Now let's go into the head
 of a member of this Delta Force

207
00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:42.280
team as they assault
 the Castle Modelo prison in Panama City

208
00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:46.360
to rescue continues and be executed
 by May six little birds.

209
00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:09.040
What's inside the prison. 

210
00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:10.040
The use of night vision 

211
00:18:10.040 --> 00:18:14.200
goggles enabled the Delta Force team
 to move with speed, precision and stealth,

212
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.000
even in the darkness of the building,
 while the guards were actually taken

213
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.840
by surprise and active,
 confused and uncoordinated.

214
00:18:30.560 --> 00:18:33.280
Explosives. They
 breached the door to his cell

215
00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:36.920
and eliminated the guard inside. 

216
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.160
Giving him a protective vest and goggles. 

217
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.400
They take news to the roof for extraction.

218
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.920
This is a prime example of how the element
 of surprise combined with speed

219
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.560
and violence of action, to guarantee
 the success of the secret mission.

220
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.680
Let's take another look at helicopter
 roping techniques.

221
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:10.760
This time we're looking at HRT
 or helicopter rope suspension technique,

222
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.560
which is used to extract ground forces
 without the helicopter

223
00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:17.520
actually having to touch down. 

224
00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:23.720
This system of HRT requires
 each operator to wear a harness system,

225
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.400
which attaches to different points
 on the extraction rope and is lowered

226
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.360
from the bottom of the chopper. Do.

227
00:20:34.480 --> 00:21:02.360
Spierings. This system uses a long,

228
00:21:02.360 --> 00:21:05.280
thick rope with several attachment points
 at the bottom section.

229
00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:09.200
Operators attach themselves
 with a personal harnesses to the rope

230
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.160
and wants it signal to the pilot
 that everyone's ready.

231
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.840
The helicopter can begin to take off,
 with all operators

232
00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:19.240
suspended from the bottom of the aircraft
 as it ascends into the sky.

233
00:21:32.040 --> 00:21:34.520
Now let's dissect Operation Acid Gambit,

234
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:37.800
the Delta Force Prison
 Rescue of Kurt Muse.

235
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.160
Delta operators are inserted onto the roof
 of the Carcel Modelo Prison by M.H.

236
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:46.320
six little bird helicopters. 

237
00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:49.280
After breaching the rooftop door,
 the Delta operators

238
00:21:49.280 --> 00:21:52.320
raced down the two flights of stairs
 toward Musa's floor.

239
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:54.880
They eliminate guards
 as they move through the prison.

240
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.440
Muse's cell door is breeched
 with explosives and the team enters.

241
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.680
Delta operators give muse body armor,
 a ballistic helmet and goggles

242
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:09.080
and extract them to the roof where they're
 exfiltrated back to the U.S. base.

243
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.240
Coming up, we take a look
 at the conclusion to the U.S.

244
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.400
Delta Force Prison rescue of Kurt Muse.

245
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.520
Close quarter battle or CQ B describes
 the challenges faced by Special Forces

246
00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:39.360
and police when engaging an enemy inside
 a building with hallways and rooms.

247
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.120
Today, we looking at the U.S. 

248
00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:42.560
Delta Force during Operation 

249
00:22:42.560 --> 00:22:46.600
Just Cause, where they rescued
 American civilian Kurt Muse from a prison.

250
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.720
As we revisit Operation Acid Gambit,

251
00:23:08.040 --> 00:23:10.560
we can now better understand
 how the different elements,

252
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.760
tactics and methods of Sea
 QB were being used by the Delta Force to.

253
00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.000
To gain surprise. 

254
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.120
They arrived by helicopter, used
 night vision goggles and move stealthily

255
00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:32.960
until they encountered
 the first prison guard. 

256
00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:46.240
When encountering prison guards,
 the Delta Force team

257
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.760
used overwhelming firepower
 to gain control over the battlespace.

258
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.400
Their precious cargo now secure. 

259
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:20.040
Delta called in for extraction. 

260
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.520
During this phase, 

261
00:24:45.520 --> 00:24:48.880
the Hughes MH six little bird
 transporting Hughes crashed.

262
00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:54.320
Several Delta Force operators were wounded
 while using two other operators,

263
00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:57.800
and the two pilots were uninjured. 

264
00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:01.560
Today, we learned about how U.S. 

265
00:25:01.560 --> 00:25:03.600
Delta Force has used close quarter battle

266
00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:07.480
training and helicopter insertion
 into the battlespace to help maintain

267
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.840
the three rules of surprise
 and the speed and violence of action.
