One Child
“A line of Strykers wound out of the Forward Operating Base onto the road leading from Spin Buldak to Kandahar. Each eight-wheeled light armored vehicle was topped with either a .50 Caliber machine gun or a 40mm grenade launcher. The two-man crew, driver and commander, was augmented by six infantry troops in each vehicle. Light for a vehicle that could comfortably fit nine. Two Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank rockets were strapped to the sides. Inside the Strykers, the men were serious.
The... target was the Taliban force in the medium-size village of Dabarey, about sixteen kilometers northwest. Dabarey was positioned mid-way between the main highway linking Spin Buldak and Kandahar and a secondary road to the south. The Taliban were using the secondary road as a fast and safe way of moving men and supplies for their attacks on the ISAF forces. 5th Stryker Brigade was in charge of changing all that.
