Normally I would have a little fun about Marines swooping in to save a SOF soldier, but in all seriousness, this a good story about joint operations, good communications, and solid teamwork.

Anything that can be done to save our guys at the sharp edge...good work, Marines.

Good job guys.

Well done, gentlemen...

Fighting the battle of semantics- a MEDEVAC, not under fire- is not a rescue.

By the same definition, every med flight from the major theaters back to Landstuhl would also be a rescue.

That's true.

But good practice for the real deal. Sometimes you never know who's coming to pull your ass out of the fire.

This is awesome!

As a plankowner of the SPMAGTFCR-Africa unit and as someone who was out-the-door doing something similar within 24 hours of my arrival in Spain, this warms my cold, caffeinated heart. Thank you for posting this.
