Two years before the action in Lone Survivor, a Green Berets A Team
conducted a very different, successful mission in Afghanistan's
notorious Pech Valley. Led by Captain Ronald Fry, the Hammerhead
Six mission applied the principles of unconventional warfare to
"win hearts and minds" and fight against the terrorist insurgency.
In 2003, the Special Forces soldiers entered an area later called
"the most dangerous place in Afghanistan." Here, where the line
between civilians and armed zealots was indistinct, they
illustrated the Afghan proverb: "I destroy my enemy by making him
my friend." Fry recounts how they were seen as welcome guests
rather than invaders. Soon after their deployment ended, the Pech
Valley reverted to turmoil. Their success was never replicated.
Hammerhead Six finally reveals how cultural respect, hard work (and
the occasional machine-gun burst) were more than a match for the
Taliban and Al Qaeda.
