My dad fought in this battle with the 10th mountain division. He would watch this movie at least once a month. I would sit with him but most of the time I was watching him instead of the movie. Even at a young age I could see that a part of him was still fighting this battle, that he was forever in Somalia. He died from COVID in Dec 21 and never really healed the scars he got in Mogadishu. I hope that wherever he is he can finally rest and enjoy a few cold ones with the brothers he lost along the way. RIP

@@noone-f1p On 3 December 1992, the division headquarters was designated as the headquarters for all Army Forces (ARFOR) of the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) for Operation Restore Hope. Major General Steven L. Arnold, the division Commander, was named Army Forces commander. The 10th Mountain Division's mission was to secure major cities and roads to provide safe passage of relief supplies to the Somali population suffering from the effects of the Somali Civil War.[72] Due to 10th Mountain Division efforts, humanitarian agencies declared an end to the food emergency and factional fighting decreased.[73] When Task Force Ranger and the SAR team were pinned down during a raid in what later became known as the Battle of Mogadishu, the 10th Mountain Division provided infantry for the UN quick reaction force sent to rescue them. The 10th Mountain Division had two soldiers killed in the fighting, which was the longest sustained firefight by regular US Army forces since the Vietnam War.[48] The division began a gradual reduction of forces in Somalia in February 1994, until the last soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry returned to the United States in March 1994. *The Pakistanis provided the heavy armor but it was the elite 10th Mountain who provided infantry support in this UN led coalition QRF. 10th mountain lost two soldiers during the role they served as QRF. They are based out of Fort Drum in New York State, a few hours from where I grew up. They aren't considered SF like the 75th Rangers or CAG but rather a Tier 3 Conventional Forces unit that can be called in to support Special Forces. And also... It is often believed that the soldiers involved in the Mogadishu Mile had to run all the way to the Mogadiscio Stadium, as it was shown in the 2001 film Black Hawk Down. However, in that scene the filmmakers took artistic license and dramatized the event, departing from the original Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War book by Mark Bowden. In the film, the Mogadishu Mile ends with about a dozen soldiers entering the Mogadishu Stadium having run all the way through the city. In the book, it ends with soldiers reaching a rendezvous point on National Street (in opposite direction to the stadium): "As he approached the intersection of Hawlwadig Road and National Street, about five blocks south of the Olympic Hotel, he saw a tank and the line of APCs and Humvees and a mass of men in desert battle dress. He ran until he collapsed, with joy."[2] Not only the Rangers and Delta Force soldiers made the Mogadishu Mile, but also soldiers from U.S. 10th Mountain Division alongside them: "We didn't ride off the crash site. We didn't run out. We walked expediently in a tactical formation for about a mile to get to an awaiting convoy." On the whole, the film version where the convoy leaves the soldiers running through the city alone does not correspond to the real event: "No one ran out of the city. The Mog mile was to a rally point where the Pakistani tanks and the vehicles from 10th Mountain were, waiting to take the men of TFR out to the Pakistani stadium." "These APCs were headed back about 800 meters to a strongpoint where reserve element has stayed behind with the tanks, and the plan was to move the wounded via the vehicles and the healthy by foot back to the strongpoint. That's exactly what happened. That, in all its non-dramatic form, is the so-called "Mogadishu mile"..." @GregBerg76 I'm sorry for your loss, your father sounds like the real deal.

Love the portrayal of Delta in this scene, "Sarge, are you receiving me?!" followed by a casual "Yeah, I heard you." A typical response would've been "Yes, sir." But obviously Delta isn't conventional army and from what I've heard, they're a lot more relaxed when it comes to standard military practices like uniforms and mannerisms. From what I've read in the BHD book, a lot of them don't even refer to each other by rank but by last names or nicknames, which I think makes unit cohesion and morale way better. The fist bump was a nice little addition, it's clear that it's a NCO fist bumping a CO but it's still nice that they have that interaction.

So well done. They captured that sense of mahem. Being trapped literally in the middle of a war. You never (in other war films) get the sense the wear is going on around the soldiers. A sense of hopelessness . In other films the action is in front of you all the time. With the odd helicopter or jet fly over. But not like this. You're almost claustrophobic. That was how I felt the first time I watched this movie. The audio...while decent could have been a few steps better. Like on Saving Private Ryan. Better audio mixing in the film and on the BluRay/4k BluRay discs. Demo worthy. BHD not as...but a great movie nonetheless.

William Fichtner played an awesome character in this movie, easily my favourite, and that's saying something as this cast was fucking stacked with talent

[@اسامةالشمري-ه6م]

On October 3, 1993, a special operations unit from the US Ranger and Delta Forces headed into central Mogadishu, Somalia, to capture three rebel leaders. The mission was thought to be relatively simple, but when two American Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, the mission took a disastrous turn for the worse. By the time the sun set over Somalia the next day, a total of 18 Americans had been killed and 73 wounded. American helicopter pilot Michael Durant was captured, and hundreds of Somali civilians died in what became known as the Battle of Mogadishu!

[@thelostclock6930]

I think I agree with Captain Steele's order. Under heavy fire, it is better to secure perimeter and stay together instead of splitting up.

[@billledbetter7978]

Capt. Steele was a prima dona and an idiot. In this type of situation, fire and maneuver is paramount to survival. What Steele did created another rescue extraction. He wouldn’t take advice from a delta operator with more combat experience because he didn’t like delta operators and his ego balked at taking instruction from a man of lower rank.

[@IKnowImGayWhenISayThisBut]

That’s why he’s the captain

[@jcpenny3606]

Why did the Delta guy told him that he (and his Ranger chalks) should be going back to the base with the prisoners? It seems like he might have been right because the Rangers that went to the crash site endured a lot of wounded and casualties. Still, I doubt the Delta guys could hold off the growing crowd either.

[@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg]

Didn't really have much else of a choice. They were completely surrounded with many wounded, running out of ammo and it was night time in the dead center of the city. Splitting up and trying to retreat back to base at that point would have been a death sentence.

[@Pat4ever.]

No, it was incorrect because the Deltas (as apparent later on) could move much faster to get to the crash site and secure it before the city came on top of them, rather than be bogged down with the convoy which ended up hitting roadblock after roadblock. And then Steele later insisted his Rangers stay with Delta Force which further bogged down the rescue operation.

Something that really works for me in this film, and shows how well shot it is, is that they constantly use camera shots to show how boxed in they are and how enemies are coming at them from all directions. The other is that the firefights aren't just cases of the bad guys blazing away and the good guys shooting with perfect accuracy - everyone is blazing, it's chaotic and hits are not guaranteed even at relatively close ranges which really sells the intensity, realism and under siege feel of the film for me.
