Hat tip to Free Range International for the pointer to Captains Journal for this article and the embedded video clip. (I visit FRI regularly and CJ rarely).
CJ link: http://www.captainsjournal.com/2010/09/19/the-five-hundred-meter-war/
Which is based on a James Foley article:http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/afghanistan/100917/location-firefight-kunar-province
FRI has some interesting graphs too:http://freerangeinternational.com/blog/?p=3609
Infantry tactics, firing beyond 500m, patrolling, ambushes and more. IMHO the video clip is one of the best ones seen by this "armchair" observer.
