About Operation Red Wings:

Operation Red Wings was a joint military operation conducted from late-June to mid-July 2005 by the United States in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. The operation was intended to disrupt the activities of local Taliban-aligned anti-coalition militias. A team of four Navy SEALs tasked with surveillance and reconnaissance were ambushed just hours after inserting into the area by fast-roping from an MH-47 Chinook helicopter. Three of the four SEALs were killed during the ensuing battle, and one of the two quick reaction force helicopters sent in for their aid (Tail #146) was shot down by an RPG, killing all eight U.S. Navy SEALs and all eight U.S. Army Special Operations aviators on board.
