Introduction:

A mixed assault force of Delta operators, Army Rangers, and Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) under the command of Maj. Gen. William Garrison was dropped by helicopters of the US Army’s Special Operations Air Regiment (SOAR) deep into the capital city of Mogadishu’s Bakaara Market, a stronghold of local warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid to capture two of his senior lieutenants, Omar Salad and Abdi Hasan Awale. The raid by the Delta operators was successful and the wanted persons were captured and taken into American custody. However, when Somali militia armed with RPGs downed two Black Hawk helicopters, a 30 minute mission became a pitched battle between the American forces and Somali militia lasting almost 15 hours.
