Korengal Valley
Operation SPURS (29 Jan – 4 Feb 05)
“Because the Korengal Valley in the Kunar Province proved to be the most problematic area in TAOR Trinity, it became the focus of the Battalion’s main effort. In January the Battalion staff began operational plans to leverage the village elders in the Korengal Valley to eradicate anti-government activists who had conducted numerous attacks on India Company. Operation SPURS then developed as a four-phased aerial insertion operation that combined the efforts of India Company and Lima Company, as well as the ANA and Naval Special Operations Forces.” — Source: 3/3 Command Chronology for the Period 01 January to 30 June 2005
