From the Commander
This Tuesday, August 6th, marks the 13th anniversary of Extortion 17. On this day 13 years ago, 30 American military servicemen and a U.S. military dog were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was shot down in Afghanistan. This remains the greatest single loss of life to Naval Special Warfare since the Afghan War started in 2001. I had the honor of serving with many of these men during my first tour with Naval Special Warfare and can honestly say I know of no greater example of selfless service. Please take a moment this week to remember these servicemen.
