US-led ground forces called in at least four air strikes to help deal with a large group of insurgents that attacked Afghan and coalition forces on patrol in the southern Uruzgan province on Nov. 14, according to a Combined Joint Task Force-82 release from Bagram AB, Afghanistan. The statement noted that “precision air strikes effectively eliminated the insurgents who were trying to reinforce the enemy positions.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, one of two National Guard members shot in a Washington, D.C., attack, will soon be awarded the Purple Heart.
