In the middle of nowhere of the province of Uruzgan, Afghanistan, a Dutch foward operating base, Camp Hadrian in Deh Rawod was established. The base, very often under attack of Taliban had a life-line with Dutch Chinooks and armed protection of Apaches which were based at Tarin Kowt (some 35 miles from Camp Hadrian, as the crow flies). Here D-661 landed at the Camp, to pick up a rotation of Task Force Uruzgan military. They were going home!
