Alone Against the Taliban: Mad Dog Platoon and the Battle of OP Nevada

Susan Katz Keating 2 weeks ago Badass, Best of SOF, War

by Susan Katz Keating

The Soviets called it Chernaya Gora: Black Mountain.

That is where a unit of elite Spetsnaz forces met their deaths in Afghanistan, atop a remote observation post overlooking Kunar.

I learned about the treacherous place in 2015, while researching an article for the Army National Guard.

The Guard’s GX Magazine had asked me to write about a soldier who’d been deployed many times, and had garnered a high number of medals.

I asked my subject, then-Sergeant First Class John Melson, to connect me with men he served with on deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I randomly called a name on the list, a decorated soldier I’ll call Gaius, because he reminds me of an ancient warrior.

Gaius told me that in 2011 he’d served alongside Melson’s platoon in Kunar Province, the dangerous northeastern section of Afghanistan, that sits on the border with Pakistan.

Gaius and the platoon were assigned to Provincial Reconstruction Team Kunar, on Forward Operating Base Wright.

Gaius said he was present on FOB Wright when members of this platoon, who called themselves the Mad Dogs, engaged in a brutal firefight against the Taliban.

The fight took place atop an old Soviet overlook now known as Outpost Nevada. The Americans were surrounded there under heavy fire without backup. The fight raged for more than 18 hours.

“Those men were pure warriors,” Gaius told me.

A Story of Battle

For decades, I have written about warfare. I’ve delved into conflicts including the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

I’ve been on the ground amid urban fighting in Northern Ireland.

Against that framework, the 18-hour firefight caught my attention.

I asked Gaius to elaborate.

While he recounted the battle, I took six pages of notes.

Finally, as I turned to the seventh page, I set down my pen and simply listened.

I was captivated; not only by the tale Gaius told, but also by his tone and his insights. This warfighter had a catch to his voice.

He kept stopping to compose himself.

He clearly was moved by what the soldiers endured, and by how they conducted themselves.

The battle took place while the Americans found themselves on “Desperate Ground,” a phrase coined by the ancient Chinese tactician Sun Tzu, who applied the term to situations where soldiers have no option but to fight without delay. It is a fight to the death.

Eventually I would learn that the battle of OP Nevada played out on multiple fronts and in multiple forms that went beyond a single firefight.

The story involved a disparate group of soldiers.

Some were seasoned combat veterans.

Others were new to military service.

Overall, they included a former nightclub manager, a pizza delivery man, a competitive skateboarder, a used car salesman, a mysterious veteran rumored to have served in the French Foreign Legion, and a passel of self-described “broken toys.”

Their platoon sergeant, Melson, was a convicted felon who spent time in prison after being charged with kidnap and assault.

The men served in the Army National Guard, whose initials – NG – have sometimes been the butt of jokes that the letters stand for No Good.

As the daughter of a Guardsman who fought in Korea, though, and as the author of numerous articles about the Army National Guard in combat, I knew that the label was misplaced.

The Virginia Guard was part of the first frontal assault on Normandy, storming Omaha Beach.

The California Guard – my own father among them – relieved the beleaguered 24th Infantry Division in Korea.

Now, while writing for GX Magazine, I learned about a new group of “NG” warriors: the men from the mountaintop battle.

These were soldiers from the Massachusetts National Guard, whose predecessors fought the earliest engagements of the American Revolution, at Lexington and Concord.

These latter day fighters were soldiers from Second Company’s “Dog Platoon” of the 1-182 Infantry.

Their legacy in hand, the Mad Dogs in Afghanistan marched in the footpaths of warriors from years gone by: Macedonians under Alexander the Great; Mongols under Genghis Khan; and Soviets directed by Leonid Brezhnev.

Like Alexander before them, the Mad Dogs met a determined enemy in Kunar. Like the shock troops of Spetsnaz, the Mad Dogs endured hell while isolated. Atop the same remote outpost where Spetsnaz fell to their attackers, the Mad Dogs were surrounded and outnumbered.

They ran out of food, water, and ammo. And as with Spetsnaz, the Mad Dogs’ ordeal unfolded under the radar and slipped into obscurity, forgotten by all but the participants.

The men weren’t merely forgotten; they also were undocumented.

While researching the battle, I contacted the Army’s 25th Infantry Division, the element in charge of Kunar at the time.

The historian there told me the timeframe I asked about had been an extraordinarily busy period for the 25th.

The division then had been embroiled in Operation Hammer Down, aimed against Taliban operations in Kunar.

Most of the files from then pertained to that action.

The historian found no records even referencing the 18-hour firefight on OP Nevada.

The Massachusetts National Guard, for its part, similarly came up empty – and then some. I contacted the Military Division for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to ask for copies of After Action Reports pertaining to OP Nevada. Leonid Kondratiuk, a retired colonel who is Director of Historical Services there, told me After Action Reports did not exist, period.

“The Mass Guard doesn’t write AAR’s,” Kondratiuk said. “No one in the Guard does. They just don’t write them.”

“That’s Not Combat”

Even the former Marine Corps four-star General and later Defense Secretary James Mattis, who oversaw military operations in Afghanistan at the time, drew a blank when I asked him about the event that occurred under his watch.

Mattis hadn’t heard of the Battle of OP Nevada.

Nor did he believe that it took place.

“How many Americans died?” Mattis asked me.

“None,” I said.

“That’s not combat,” Mattis said. “I know combat, and I can tell you, if no Americans died up there, that wasn’t combat.”

Make no mistake, though.

When these National Guardsmen found themselves on Desperate Ground, they fought. Isolated from support, abandoned to fate, surrounded by relics of Spetsnaz ghosts and attacked by a relentless enemy, they fought.

The extended slugfest was so brutal, so primal, so raw, that the Taliban afterwards refused to re-engage.

In the coming days, I will publish an account of what happened in those 18 hours atop OP Nevada.

As Gaius told me: “What those Americans did up there is pure heroism.

They were stunningly courageous. I will never forget them.”

Neither will I.

Remote Starter Installation

Remote starters are downright cheap these days. You can get one with some pretty cool features for about $40 at amazon.com. If you can read a wiring diagram, are patient enough to use a test light before you connect wires and are willing to take the time to make really good splices, you can install a remote starter yourself and save about $125.

If your vehicle has an anti-theft system, make sure the remote start unit includes all the necessary components. Some inexpensive brands require additional (and costly) anti-theft bypass modules. The Bulldog RS82B unit shown here works with most anti-theft systems and comes with a computer-safe test light and wire splicing supplies.

Download the free wiring diagram for your specific vehicle from the manufacturer’s website (in this case, bulldogsecurity.com). Follow the instructions for the remote car starter installation. When finished, you can program the unit to work with your key fob remote.

If you want more high tech features, get Bulldog Security’s Deluxe model. You’ll get a two-way LCD transmitter/ receiver with a half-mile range. The starter sends a confirmation signal back to the receiver letting you know the engine has started. And the in-car temp sensor reads cabin temperature and transmits that to the screen as well. The deluxe unit also includes remote keyless entry, so you can ditch the factory remote.

10 Benefits of Remote Start for Your Vehicle

Car Remote Starter Installation Service near Omaha NE: Car remote starters are one of the hottest automotive developments of the 21st century. Considering how affordable they are and how easily they can be installed aftermarket, it's no surprise that remote starters are becoming as ubiquitous as car alarm systems. Here are just ten of the many advantages car remote starters offer:

1. Starting your car on a cold morning without leaving the warmth of your house. No more shivering on a cold seat, waiting for the heater to kick in.

2. Melting the snow and ice off your car by remotely running your defroster. You'll never again have to scrape a peephole in your windshield!

3. Cranking the air conditioning so your car is nice and cool before you climb inside on those hot summer days. No more patting the steering wheel to see if it's still too hot to touch.

4. Keeping the kids happy. Children are more sensitive to extremes of heat and cold than adults, and when they're uncomfortable they have a way of letting you know. Remote starters nip that problem in the bud!

5. Locating your car in a large or crowded lot. You will never again have to wander the wastelands of the mall parking lot looking for your ride.

6. Adding or improving security for your vehicle. Car alarm systems are sadly necessary in this day and age, so picking out a remote starter system with integrated security will provide increased safety and peace of mind.

7. Impressing your friends, colleagues, and partner. Long after you start taking your remote starter for granted, the system will continue to make a big impression on anyone you give a lift to.

8. Synchronizing your car with your smartphone. By installing a remote starter with cell phone integration, you can unlock a huge array of additional features, controlling your car with your touchscreen.

10. Generally improving your quality of life. Seriously! How we start our mornings can have a huge impact on our day, and getting into a warm car on a cold morning or a cool car on a hot one will set a positive tone for every day of the week, every time of year.

TIPS

Car Remote Start Installation Tips

Car Remote Starter Installation Service near Omaha NE: Furthermore, the following tips are for remote start system installation in automatic vehicles. Manual transmission vehicles will require further attention.

● First Things First

Your first step is to make sure that the remote start is compatible with your vehicle and that it will not interfere with its anti-theft system. You can usually get this information by consulting the packaging it came in or calling the manufacturer that produced it.

Then:

You should make sure that all the electrical systems of your vehicle are working properly before you begin the installation. Make sure the lights and switches are working as they should.

If so, then you may proceed to step one, familiarizing yourself with the wiring:

● Wiring

Take some time to carefully look at the wiring including the power wire, the ignition wire, the accessory wire, and the starter wire. You can find information on these wires and where to locate them in your vehicle’s electrical diagram or owner’s manual.

Installing a remote ignition will consist mostly of connecting these wires to the device. It is recommended that the connections be made with a soldering iron.

● Grounding

You will need to ground your remote starter for proper function. You can do this by attaching the ground wire to a clean, metal surface with no paint on it. We recommend a surface in the firewall or kick panel.

● Tachometer Wire Connection

The first place to look for your tachometer reference wire should be the distributor. If you do not see it there, take a look at the coil pack. You can also trace it by following your spark plug wires to the point where they meet with the distributor. Once you have located the tachometer reference wire, connect it with the corresponding wire of your remote start device.

● Security Bypass

If your vehicle came with a factory security system, it will need to be disengaged for the installation. Most vehicles’ security system has a wire coming from the driver side door. This wire will need to be pulsed to bypass the security system.

● Closing Up

Before closing up the panels you have removed for the installation, make sure all wiring is secured with screws or ties. Secure them in a way that they are not touching any moving parts.

We hope you have found these tips helpful but if at any time you are in doubt, consult a professional. Utilize these tips safely and enjoy your new remote start system. You will love the freedom it provides.

COST

How much does it cost to put a remote starter in a car?

Car Remote Starter Installation Service near Omaha NE: There are many factors to remote car starter installation cost. In addition to the price tag of the starter itself, you may need to purchase a bypass module to make it compatible with your vehicle. Generally, you can expect anywhere from $150 to $500 for professional installation of a remote car starter.

Based on a brief survey of Compustar dealers, a basic, short-range remote starter installed on a non-luxury vehicle will range from $249.99-$399.99. The price you’ll be quoted will largely depend on the year, make, and model for your vehicle.

Different vehicles use different mechanisms for starting the engine. A professional installer will understand how to integrate a remote start system with these mechanisms, to ensure the car is being remotely started safely and securely. It is very important to contact your local retailer prior to visiting the store to make sure they are able to install a remote starter onto your specific vehicle. That said, if you contact one retailer and they say No, don’t fret! Try another retailer, as retailers often have varying levels of comfort with different vehicles.

Cost of a Remote Start System

An aftermarket remote starter is like any other aftermarket product in that they range in price depending on the features you want. A basic remote start system can be purchased for as little as $99, but that only gets you remote start and maybe unlocking capabilities. However, if you want more bells and whistles like additional FOBs, longer range, a smartphone app, etc., prices can go up to $300, which still isn’t bad.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is remote start bad for your car?

The Basics behind Power Locks Repair Services At FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha

Since being introduced in 1914, power door locks have increased convenience and safety for drivers and passengers. Doors equipped with power locks may respond to multiple control methods. In many modern cars, a driver need only push a button on a vehicle’s remote key fob to lock or unlock all of its doors at once. In addition, this central locking system can often be switched on or off from buttons located in the front of the vehicle near the driver and passenger side. Vehicle locks are especially useful when multiple passengers need access to a vehicle at one time. They also provide safety, allowing drivers and passengers to quickly secure themselves inside the vehicle. For these reasons, power locks continue to serve as a standard feature in many vehicles today.

Why Should You Have Power Locks Repair Services Performed At FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha

If your power door locks are malfunctioning, please bring your vehicle in as soon as possible so our service staff can repair your power locks. Our staff understands an unsecured car or truck can be dangerous or prone to theft or vandalism. Faulty locks provide thieves with opportunity and increase the likelihood of injury in the unfortunate event of an accident. Fortunately, our staff is equipped with the right tools for repairing a central locking system. We’ll look over the relay system that activates the power locks and repair or replace the faulty components for you. Before or during our service, we invite you to ask any questions you may have about your vehicle locks or any of our procedures. We are happy to advise you and work with you to get your power door locks working again.

Power locks and windows are a huge convenience, but they’re also a safety feature. Being able to lock and unlock your vehicle quickly can save your vehicle from theft. It can also protect you in the event of an unwelcome encounter with a stranger in an underground parking garage, or other unpopulated area. Similarly, your windows play a role in your safety while driving. Being able to open your windows properly allows for air flow on hot days, which can help cool the engine. Your windows also play a role in safe escape in the event of an accident, when doors are unable to open due to obstruction. Unfortunately, unlike some of the more obvious components of your vehicle, it can be difficult to sense the deterioration of the power locks and windows, until they stop working. At FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha Auto Repair, we make it out business to perform a thorough diagnostic on your power system, listening and watching for signs that it’s on its way out. If there’s a problem with your power windows or locks, you can rest assured that our capable mechanics will have your car in working order in no time.

SIGNS YOUR POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS ARE FAILING While it may not be quite so obvious that the locks and windows are failing, as it is when your engine dies, there are a few signals to look out for. Sticky Locks: Are you finding yourself having to hit the lock button repeatedly before your vehicle responds? If so, it could mean a few different things. In some cases, it’s a simple key fob issue, which may be fixed quickly with a new battery. Sometimes, it’s more serious, and the internal wiring needs to be assessed and repaired. Weird Sounding Windows: Are your windows slow to roll, or don’t move at all but make an awful squeak or whir sound? Debris in the window casing due to leaks and damaged seals can be a cause for delayed opening and closing of your power windows. When a window is unable to move, but the motor is doing its job to move it, you will hear the after effect. No strange noise from your car is ever a good sign, so be sure to have this checked as soon as possible. Other Power Features Become Unresponsive: It isn’t just the locks and windows which run on your vehicle’s internal power system. Lights on your dash, the radio, and several other features rely on your vehicle’s battery to draw power. If the battery is failing, you might notice a lack of response from a variety of components. If this is the case, it might not be lock or window specific, but time to replace the battery.

SEEKING HELP FROM THE PROFESSIONALS There are plenty of DIY hacks for windows and locks on the internet, but these can be misleading and sometimes dangerous. Unless you’re a trained mechanic, there are some things that are better left to the professionals, and anything that deals with the internal wiring of your vehicle falls into this category. If you notice any of the above signs, or you’re simply having trouble making your door locks and power windows respond at first touch, call and schedule an appointment with a certified mechanic. Whether it’s something as small as a key fob battery change, or something as drastic as the need to rewire, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands. At FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha Auto Repair, we perform each task diligently and by the book, being careful not to void your warranties, and keeping the safety of our clients in mind at all times.

For more information on power locks and windows, or to speak to an experienced member of our team regarding any of our auto services, contact us today. FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha Auto Repair is always happy to hear from new and existing customers, and can schedule an appointment with a certified mechanic at your convenience. Your safety and comfort is our number one concern; don’t wait to report a faulty part, visit FX Mobile Mechanic Services Omaha and drive home in the vehicle you deserve.

Inside Peter Fink’s Amazing American Muscle Car Museum

In last month’s installment of This Guy’s Garage, we were introduced to Peter Fink of Omaha, Nebraska and his American Muscle Car Museum. It’s comprised of two 4,200 sq-ft rooms where Peter showcases about 30 vehicles from his collection of domestic performance vehicles, which presently sits at 86 and counting. His display of vintage muscle cars is comprised of Detroit’s most exciting and desirable products. This month we focus on the masterfully-finished resto-mod and pro-touring portion of his collection.

“I own 15 true resto-mods, and that doesn’t include the three factory drag race cars,” says Peter. “I’ve built some of my own, like the silver 1963 Corvette. I have a couple of other projects going right now, too. Most of those in my collection were purchased as finished projects, however.” When asked what he looks for in a finished resto-mod vehicle, Peter replied, “It can’t be engine or suspension upgrades only. The entire car has to be modified, and it has to be really well done. It needs to be tastefully over the top without looking sick.”

Like all vehicles in his collection, Peter says he uses his resto-mod and pro-touring vehicles, too. “I drive them a more often than my original muscle cars, and I drive them harder, too, since I don’t have to worry about originality. If something were to ever blow up, I’d look at that as a chance to upgrade in some way.”

In addition to modified vehicles, Peter’s growing collection also includes three late-model factory drag cars. “I have always been around racing and really love the sport. I think it’s cool that the OEs build factory race cars and bought one of each. While I have driven them and done a few burnouts, none have been raced yet. I bought them to add to my collection and make part of my museum.” And what a collection Peter has!

1 This replica of a 1937 Ford roadster is a kit car that caught Peter’s wife, Carolyn’s eye at a Barrett-Jackson event a few years ago. At first, Peter wasn’t sure that it fit within the scope of his collection, but Carolyn convinced him otherwise. The chassis is completely custom-built, and it’s powered by a GM LS3 V8 backed by a 4L65E transmission. Peter says it rides and handles great with the air-ride suspension. And best of all, Carolyn loves it!

2 Peter bought this 1970 Firebird Formula 400 at age 16, and he says it’s what started his love affair with cars. It’s equipped with a Pontiac 400-ci V8, a four-speed manual transmission, and 4.11 rear gears. He raced it frequently back then and didn’t have the means to pay for repairs, so he learned to fix whatever he broke while racing. That experience resulted in attending automotive trade school where Peter met an instructor who helped become him a transmission expert. Peter then became a transmission technician at a local Chrysler dealership, and during his off time, he was part of the service manager’s private race team. That’s when he met his wife of 32 years, Carolyn. Peter says his Formula 400 is the most important vehicle in his collection because it’s responsible for everything he has, from his wife to his business.

3 This beautiful 1967 Chevrolet Corvette roadster has a significant history. It’s an authentic tri-power 427-ci backed by a Muncie four-speed. It was originally ordered by a GM executive and was built with every available option including A/C, power-steering, power windows and locks, head rests, and an AM/FM radio. Peter says the brass-hat car is fully documented and also includes the paperwork from above the fuel tank. He says it’s the perfect cruising vehicle.

4 Peter rescued this once-scorned 1963 split-window Corvette from certain doom. He sent it off to Factory Hot Rod in Cincinnati, Ohio for a complete transformation. While the exterior is subtly modified, it features a 2014 Z06 drivetrain complete with engine, six-speed manual transmission, and suspension. Peter says it’s quite fun and comfortable to drive.

5 At first glance, it would appear that this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro RS offers little more than a bold paint job and aftermarket wheels and tires, but looking past the outer skin reveals a host of new chassis and drivetrain components. The Super Camaro was the tenth built by Jeff Richards and contains a GM LS3 V8 and a six-speed manual transmission. The suspension is completely modified and the rear axle features in-board disc brake rotors. Peter believes that his Super Camaro was Richards’ wildest build to date and says that it’s a car everyone talks about when they see it.

6 Anyone familiar with the resto-mod scene will immediately recognize the Ring Brothers name. They built this heavily-customized 1969 Camaro in 2010. Known as Razor, it’s powered by a modern GM ZL1 V-8 that’s backed by a six-speed manual transmission. The Pro Touring car was subtly and tastefully modified in every way and is simply stunning. Peter saw it displayed at SEMA in 2010 and immediately fell in love with it. He was able to make it part of his collection in 2012, and it is one of his favorite cars for carving cones at autocross events.

7 Kona was another Ring Brothers creation. The beautiful black 1967 Mustang is powered by a Roush-built Ford V8 with fuel injection and backed by a C4 automatic transmission. The air-ride suspension transforms into an excellent riding and handling ponycar. Peter saw it displayed at SEMA in the late 2000s and though it was bad ass enough to purchase when it came up for sale.

8 This 1967 Mustang was built in 2010 to compete for the coveted Ridler Award. It was among 12 finalists and has been featured in a number of magazines. The monster hood bulge draws plenty of questions about what lies beneath, and that’s a supercharged 4.6L Ford V8 that generates about 720 hp. It’s backed by a six-speed manual transmission, and the suspension and braking systems were upgraded accordingly. Peter says that because it isn’t equipped with air-ride suspension, it goes down the road with that lowered stance. It turns many heads whenever he drives it.

9 Peter says that Razor, the Ring Brother’s modified 1969 Camaro, was such a popular show car upon its debut that Snap On immortalized its image on a commemorative tool chest. A total of 250 were produced in the series. Peter purchased the car in 2012 and added this Razor Snap On box with serial number 001.

10 This 1966 Chevrolet Nova is among the few carbureted resto-mods in Peter’s collection. It’s completely modified inside and out, and underneath, too. All exterior door handles have been removed and replaced with electronic solenoids that are controlled by key fob pushbuttons. Under hood is a 383-ci small-block Chevrolet V8 that’s topped by a trio of two-barrel carburetors. Peter says someday he will convert it to electronic fuel injection.

11 Peter purchased this 2013 Super Cobra Mustang after learning that Ford had been producing factory drag cars since 2008. It includes a factory-installed roll bar, slick tires, and open headers. It’s equipped with a supercharged 5.0L Ford V8 that generates more than 1,000 hp. Peter says is capable of running the quarter mile in 8.5 seconds. Understandably, the Super Cobra Mustang isn’t street legal and was delivered without a title- only a bill of sale proves ownership.

12 Chevrolet began producing COPO Camaros in 2012. Once Peter learned about the factory-built drag race vehicle, he knew he had to have one. His 2013 COPO Camaro is equipped with the all-aluminum 427-ci V8 that’s backed by a Powerglide transmission. The engine generates about 950 hp and can propel the fifth-gen Camaro down the quarter mile in about 8.8 seconds. It isn’t legal for street use.

13 Dodge’s factory drag car was its Challenger and Peter’s 2011 model is powered by a V10 Viper engine. Rated around 950 hp, it propels the full-body Challenger down the quarter mile in about 8.8 seconds. Most of the Dodge hot rods were white, but Peter says his may be the only one painted black. Since his COPO Camaro and Super Cobra Mustang were black, it only made sense to add this black Challenger to his collection.

14 Peter is in the transmission repair business and he not-so-coincidentally built this 8-foot statue of Optus Prime from the Transformer movie using mostly used transmission components. The balance is comprised of used car parts. The statue weighs around 2,000 pounds and is one of four similarly-constructed figures on display in the museum. He said they draw much attention during charity events and tours.

15 Not limited to cars only, Peter’s resto-mod collection includes this 1950 Chevrolet five-window pickup truck. It’s been completely modernized, and its bold exterior finish is complemented by a slammed-look created by the air-ride suspension. The drivetrain was pirated from a late-model Z06 Corvette and the review mirror displays the automatic transmission’s gear status. It features leather interior with six-way power seats, power windows and locks, and a tilt steering column. Peter says it’s very fun to drive and on that he enjoys taking on the highway.
