U.S. Special Operations Forces In Heavy Combat During Assault On IS-K Position In Afghanistan

Intense action packed US Special Forces helmet cam combat footage shows US Special Operations Forces In heavy combat during an assault on IS-K position In Afghanistan sometime within 2017.
The soldiers are seen assaulting a IS-K held position in their armoured vehicles and on foot while being backed by heavy fire support from mortars and airstrikes obliterating any source of visible resistance.
The video was filmed by the turret gunner of one of the vehicles who was embedded with the joint task force comprised of Special Operations, Infantry Soldiers, and Afghan Commandos in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan.
While there is not much context out there about the excat details of the operation it can be assumed the this battle happened in the Achin district of Nangarhar, Afghanistan where IS-K had a significant stronghold with occupied compunds and a tunnel complex to thicken their defense.

I believe that you should always try to take something positive out of a negative situation. Even though the Taliban's rise to power is frustrating, the years of fighting have ensured that an enormous amount of U.S. soldiers have gained a lot of combat experience and, in this regard, are superior to soldiers from other countries. Especially with regard to the tensions between the U.S. and China or Russia, it is good to know that one can rely on a battle-hardened army. I am not a US citizen, but for me personally this certainty would bring a relief that should not be underestimated.
