From the foreword: "The present volume, Vanguard of Valor II, offers six accounts of US Soldiers at the tip of the spear during the Afghan campaign. The Combat
Studies Institutes Vanguard of Valor series is intended to document small
unit actions in Afghanistan. These books play an equally important role by
offering insights to Soldiers who may find themselves in the years ahead
under similar conditions, whether in Afghanistan or in some other troubled
land where they have been deployed to conduct the dangerous business of
defending the national interest in a theater of war."
