VBC Correspondents embedded with Coalition counterterrorism unit (25)
Security Contributor William Parker and Correspondent Alfred Lennard were embedded with Unit 302 of the Coalition's Counter-Terrorism Division. The crew accompanied the unit on a patrol in the Orgal Region, just north of Awdak.
While the VBC crew was filming, a soldier spotted a group of militants advancing across the field and opened fire, triggering a heavy firefight between Unit 302 and the insurgents. The crew took cover behind a nearby embankment as gunfire echoed across the plains.
With no certainty about when—or if—the militants might return, it was time for the VBC team to withdraw. They moved quickly but cautiously, scanning the road for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that may have been planted to target their exit.
