[Report dated] 24/06/12 [No. of armed strikes] ? [Weapon used] ? [Fatalities reported] ? [Reported strike No.] OU106
There have been a number of occasions this week that crews were called on to carry out attacks on insurgents who were carrying out their nefarious activities. In all cases, the crew undertook extensive examination of the surrounding areas to ensure that there were no habitations or civilians carrying out their routine daily activity before carrying out the attack. In one case, two insurgents were tracked for over two and a half hours as they moved around on a motorcycle with a machine gun repositioning several times in an attempt to attack patrolling troops. Only when there was absolutely no risk to civilians or property did the crew successfully attack the insurgents with a low yield air to ground weapon.
