Ghazi from air bases in Pakistan, the MH-60 helicopter on its way to the outskirts of Abbottabad military, the center about 50 km from Islamabad. Flight is the member of special team of U.S. Navy SEAL, was it across the border from Afghanistan.
Members of the ST6
Accompanying them was the professional communications, electronic intelligence and other intelligence experts.
After 40 minutes of fighting, 22 people or killed or captured. One of those killed is Osama bin Laden, was shot in the head and chest. Determination of the terrorist is brought back to the helicopter base Ghazi. A helicopter was having problems and U.S. forces have been destroyed soon after.
If not for this critical, then this could be a normal military operation of the comedy team is specially trained and legendary, SEAL Team Six (SEAL Team 6 - ST6), although not exist only on paper. The official name of, is heading the special war deployment of Navy (USA). This group was formally established in 1987, with the abbreviation is NAVSPECWARDEVGRU although its forerunner stemming from the failed rescue of American hostages at the U.S. embassy in Iran in 1979. However, the locals at their home base at Dam Neck in Virginia called them by name DevGru.
Their mission this time very special and we need to practice first. So they have recreated a wide 0.4 hectare park houses like the Bin Laden at Camp Alpha, a separate branch of the Bagram Air Base and began practicing early in April.
Whether public or heard about the activities of the customs of this particular file as well as a unit similar to the infantry as Delta Force, the majority of JSOC's mission was never revealed. The name of the team until just heard good things happened there (as a humanitarian aid worker was killed UK) or have something big (a captain were rescued at sea).
But even then, the U.S. military does not want to reveal their presence. JSOC a few dozen members were killed in Pakistan in recent years. Their names are the Ministry of Defense announced as usual, but under cover, as they were killed by accident while training in eastern Afghanistan. This is a password.
How did the helicopter task force is to be avoided Pakistan's air defense system? Did they use the electronic transmitter special? Did they paint helicopters to Pakistan Air Force insignia and deceive the people responsible?
If it is true, and maybe this will never be published, two other units of the Department JSOC technical applications (Technical Application Programs Office) and the evaluation team of aviation technology (Aviation Technology Evaluation Group), has done well this task. These are the real unknown soldiers, never to be honored and they do not need to be honored.
Since the 9 / 11, JSOC units and task forces have become their most effective weapons of the U.S. government in the fight against terrorism.
JSOC is the operating cost of about $ 1 billion more each year. JSOC has faced some criticism but generally operate freely and without restrictions after the terrorist 9 / 11.
The boundary between intelligence gathering activities of comedy team JSOC and CIA activities almost without. Raids kill Bin Laden is the most obvious evidence shows that close cooperation between the CIA and JSOC.
