First Platoon Air Assaulted into some villages in Mizan, where suspected Taliban where operating. We inserted using Chinooks, however, we were unable to find any enemy. Nevertheless, 1st Platoon proved itself once again as airborne paratroopers with their speed and decisiveness during this mission.
