A devastating ambush in Iraq, kidnapped soldiers, and the men
who wouldn't leave their comrades behind
The 10th Mountain Division is known as the most deployed unit in
the U.S. Army. Today, the War on Terror has drawn it to Afghanistan
and Iraq. To Lieutenant Colonel Mike Infanti's unit fell the
pacification of a hellish hotbed of terrorism south of Baghdad
dubbed "The Triangle of Death." Of the more than three thousand
Americans killed since the start of the war, more than one thousand
were in this region.
Colonel Infanti assigned Delta Company to the most dangerous
sector of the Triangle. Delta knew they were virtually assured of
getting hit on a daily basis. Each day and night became something
to be dreaded and feared.
In the predawn of May 12, 2007, two humvees occupied by seven
soldiers and an Iraqi translator were ambushed by insurgents. When
the smoke cleared, four soldiers and the translator were dead and
three were missing, presumably seized by the enemy. For more than a
year, Delta searched for their missing comrades, never giving up
hope. Their creed of battle: None Left Behind.
