Book Description
They are among the most elite of all U.S. military, special forces subject to a rigorous selection and training process. Air commandos perform highly dangerous and often secret operations. They are involved in special military operations, counterinsurgency, and counterterrorism. In addition, they are called upon to intervene in grave emergencies and natural disasters. This book examines the role that air commandos play in these operations. It covers their dramatic histories, their selection and training regimen, and some of their most exciting missions, including Operation Neptune Spear, the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound.
