Situation
Last Sunday, ISIS launched a coordinated attack on FOB Anderson and revealed a large contingent of enemy personnel and equipment in the AO, including armored vehicles. An Mi-8 confirmed to be of Iranian origin was also shot down by First Platoon during the mission. Despite the lack of Turkish military and police presence, War Eagles successfully counter-attacked and destroyed enemy forces located on the southwestern part of Bozcaada.
