Haji Abass and Cemetery Hill: Baraki Barak District, Logar Province, Afghanistan 2009 (Afghanistan War Series)

by James F. Christ

In April 2009, the Second and Third Platoons, B Company, 1/32 10th Mountain Division, are attached to 3/71 CAV in Logar Province, Afghanistan. Co-located with ANP (Afghan National Police) in Baraki Barak District, the Third Platoon is tasked with over-watching Cemetery Hill, the highest position in the middle of the valley. When an OP (Observation Post) spies an enemy mortar in position to attack the Third Platoon, the Second Platoon is ordered out as QRF (Quick Reaction Force) to eliminate the enemy mortar. The next 12 hours result in chaos and combat and exhaustion for both platoons.
