Surrounded, and running out of ammunition, Ybarra radios Bagram for reinforcements, which arrive in the form of a pair of AH-64 Apaches, facilitating the Rangers’ extraction. They move to secure another landing zone, but are ambushed by insurgents, who arrive in overwhelming numbers. The Rangers are pinned down by heavy machine guns, so a fireteam led by Sergeant Patterson consisting of Specialist Dante Adams, Corporal Hernandez and US Air Force Enlisted Terminal Attack Controller (ETAC) Tech Sergeant Ybarra flank the enemy positions and destroy the machine guns. During insertion into the Sha-i-kot Valley, the Rangers come under heavy fire and a Chinook is shot down.
The surviving Northern Alliance forces panic and withdraw, leaving the Colonel no choice but to deploy the Rangers as ordered. Flagg calls in a rage, and unknowingly orders an AC-130U crew to open fire on friendly forces. After completing their mission ahead of schedule, Drucker sends Northern Alliance soldiers to eliminate several insurgent positions. AFO Wolfpack, consisting of four Delta Force operators code-named Panther, Vegas, Deuce and Dusty eliminate enemy positions in two small villages and travel to their observation point "Clementine" while Neptune does the same to "OP Dorothy". Meanwhile, Tier 1 teams are inserted into the area to perform reconnaissance and coordinate fire support. While Drucker plans to use Tier 1 operators to reconnoiter insurgent positions in the valley and Northern Alliance soldiers to eliminate them, Flagg is mistrusting of the locals and gives the Colonel a 24-hour deadline to deploy the 10th Mountain Division, the 101st Airborne Division, and U.S. Drucker, codename Jimmy, commands all local assets, is shown as a cautious, competent officer, in contrast to his commanding officer, General Flagg, who works in an office in the United States and is ignorant of the AFO teams' role in the operation. By March 2002, the airfield is re-purposed as a forward operating base by NATO forces. Neptune is tasked to secure Bagram Airfield with a contingent of NA soldiers. Shortly after extraction, Tariq informs them that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have a significant force composed of 500 to 1,000 combatants in the Shah-i-Kot Valley. Neptune is ambushed by Chechen forces, and fights their way through the village to recover Tariq. Tier 1 operators of a Navy SEAL squad from DEVGRU, call sign Neptune, composed of operators code-named Mother, Voodoo, Preacher and Rabbit are sent to meet with an Afghan informant named Tariq, who has intelligence on the Taliban.
The story begins in late 2001 during the opening days of the invasion of Afghanistan. All travel to the city was barred, the 33rd was publicly disavowed for treason, and no further news left the cit y. The caravan never arrived, and soon afterwards the UAE declared Dubai a no-man's-land. The last communication out of Dubai stated that the 33rd was attempting to lead a caravan of more than a thousand civilians out of the city. The 33rd declared martial law, and struggled to maintain order amid 80 mph winds, riots, and dwindling resources. As the storms intensified, a massive storm wall engulfed Dubai for miles, disrupting any satellite surveillance and communication, air travel, and all but the strongest radio broadcasts. Konrad volunteered the 33rd Battalion to help with international relief efforts, then deserted with the entire unit when ordered to abandon the city and its refugees by the U.S government. Colonel John Konrad, the decorated but post-traumatic stress disorder troubled commander of “The Damned” 33rd Battalion, United States Army, was returning home with his unit from Afghanistan when the storms struck. Dubai's politicians and wealthy elite downplayed the situation before evacuating in secret, leaving countless Emiratis behind.
