KABUL — U.S. Marines swooped down behind Taliban lines in helicopters and Osprey aircraft today in the first offensive since President Barack Obama announced an American troop surge.

About 1,000 Marines and 150 Afghan troops were taking part in Operation Cobra’s Anger in a bid to disrupt Taliban supply and communications lines in the Now Zad Valley of Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, the scene of heavy fighting last summer, according to Marine spokesman Maj. William Pelletier.

Hundreds of troops from the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines and the Marine reconnaissance unit Task Force Raider dropped by helicopters and MV22 Osprey aircraft in the northern end of the valley while a second, larger Marine force pushed northward from the main Marine base in the town of Now Zad, Pelletier said.

A U.S. military official in Washington said it was the first use of Ospreys, aircraft that combine features of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, in an offensive involving units larger than platoons.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to detail the operation, said that Ospreys have previously been used for intelligence and patrol operations.

Combat engineers used armored steamrollers and explosives to force a corridor through Taliban minefields — known as IED Alley because of the huge number of roadside bombs, known as improvised explosive devices, and land mines, Pelletier said.

THE UNTOLD STORY ABOUT THE 7,000 TROOPS NATO IS SENDING TO AFGHANISTAN


The Obama administration is boasting about how NATO countries are going to send 7,000 troops to Afghanistan.

What the Obama administration is not telling Americans is that the bulk of the NATO troops will never see combat because they will be assigned to areas and activities miles from where the fighting is taking place.

For example: Germany is sending troops to Afghanistan, but the German troops do not go out on patrol at night. When a German commander was asked why the German troops do not go out at night, he replied; "Because it's too dangerous."

So all the fighting in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan will be done by the nearly 100,000 American troops deployed to Afghanistan.
