Walker adjusted his fire and began firing grenades at the boulders, spraying shrapnel over the dug-in defenders. Self was worried about rear security in case the enemy attempted to flank the static Rangers so he sent Totten-Lancaster’s SAW down to Miceli, giving him the firepower to suppress any such attempts. Some 20m behind Self, in a shallow depression in the snow, crouched the Air Force Combat Controller, Sergeant Gabe Brown. Brown had set down his M4A1 and was using his SATCOM radio to attempt to establish communications with any nearby air support, including the pair of F-15Es that were still orbiting overhead.
The battle of Takur Ghar The Rangers began to regroup and Self developed a hasty battle plan. He knew that the helicopter had come down in a slight, horseshoe-shaped depression that saved them from the DShK positioned farther back on Overleaf At 06:10, the Chinook known by its callsign of RAZOR 01 landed directly onto the snow-packed peak. As it landed it was engaged in a ferocious volume of gunfire and RPGs from the IMU mujahideen defending the peak. Several mujahideen fighters fired down upon the helicopter from a stone-and-log bunker located at the top of the slope whilst other mujahideen fired from behind the adjacent boulders and attempted to flank the downed helicopter.
From there he covered the left side of the helicopter with his M4A1 whilst attempting to get the attention of a medic. Inside RAZOR 01, Lamoreaux and the PJs continued their work on the wounded. Calvert had been hit by RPG fragments from yet another rocket that had exploded into the helicopter. Despite his wounds, he continued to try and raise communications with the overhead P-3 or F-15Es using his PRC-112 line-of-sight survival radio. The medic and the PJs kept the wounded in the aircraft, hugging the floor as the 2ft-tall ballistic fuel tanks on both sides of the MH-47E provided the best and only protection.
