PREFACE
~ In late August 1993 Secretary of Defense Les Aspin authorized the
deployment of special operations forces to Mogadishu, Somalia, because of
increased enemy attacks on United States and United Nations Operations Somalia
(UNOSOM) forces and installations. The special operations forces, named Task
Force <TF) Ranger, had the mission to capture General Mohammed Farah Aideed
and designated others, and to turn over captives to UNOSOM forces . During
August and September 1993 TF Ranger conducted six missions into Mogadishu.
These six missions were tactical successes, and the cumulative effect of these
missions was to impair Aideed's movement and to undermine his authority. On
3 October TF Ranger launched a mission into Aideed's stronghold, seeking to
capture two of his key lieutenants. The capture of 24 Aideed supporters was
accomplished, but in that process, a TF Ranger MH-60 BLACKHAWK helicopter
was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade. The mission then irrevocably
changed from one of capturing Aideed supporters to one of safeguarding and
recovering American casualties. When the TF Ranger forces finally returned to its
compound the next morning, their casualties totaled 99.
J.,S,CNFr TF Ranger forces acquitted themselves well during their movement
to the downed BLACKHAWK. The subsequent actions to defend this position and
to retrieve the dead and wounded reflected credit on their training, courage,

initiative, soldier skills, and dedication to one another. What follows is an
overview of the 3-4 October Battle of Mogadishu, and then there are vignettes
reflecting individuals' actions during this long and bloody day in Somalia.

AN OVERVIEW: TASK FORCE RANGER OPERATIONS IN SOMALIA
3-4 OCTOBER 1993
~fP'Y On 22 August 1993 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell, notified General Joseph P. Hoar, Commander in Chief, United States Central Command (USCINCCENT), and General Wayne A. Downing, Commander in Chief, United States Special Operations Command (USCINCSOC) that Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Les Aspin had authorized the mobilization and deployment of
i<b)<1> Ito support US efforts in Somalia. Increased enemy attacks on US and United Nations Operations Somalia (UNOSOM) installations, heightened tensions, lawlessness, and continued hostile acts by Aideed-led factions had strained UN operations. Accordingly, the SECDEF had agreed to deploy additional special operations forces (SOF). GEN Downing was to provide requested forces, with an advance party departing on 22 August and the main body on 25 August 1993. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) was also to be prepared to provide follow-on forces as required.

..(~l:Pt'On 22 August MG Waldo D. Freeman, Jr., Deputy Commander in Chief, USCENTCOM, released a message directing the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to deploy forces in two phases. Phase I forces, consisting of advance and command (ADVON) elements, were to deploy on that same day, 22 August. Phase II forces, the main body, was to deploy on 25 August. USCENTCOM directed USSOCOM to provide forces as requested (approximately 400 personnel), to provide follow-on forces and SOF-peculiar logistic support as required, and to respond to possible additional requests for support. USCINCCENT had operational control of the commander and deploying forces. This operation was named Task Force (TF) Ranger.
~hase I forces deployed on 22 August and arrived in Mogadishu on 23 August at 1017 Gocal). Shortly thereafter, the TF Ranger commander, MG William Garrison, met with the commander of US Forces Somalia, MG Thomas M. Montgomery. Other ADVON members received detailed briefings from the quick reaction force commander, staff counterparts, and UNOSOM logistics support command. Special operations aviators discussed lessons learned with the lOth Aviation Brigade and rode on visual reconnaissance flights around Mogadishu.

®Nfi"J By 28 August, 441 personnel ofTF Ranger had arrived in country, were conducting training exercises, and were setting_up necessary liaison and communications networks. l<b><1>
[<6><1> ] but that night at 1927, mortar rounds
rocked the TF Ranger compound. The attack by Aideed's followers lasted about 30 minutes, and a total of nine rounds landed at the airport, injuring four TF Ranger per sonnel. TF Ranger responded by launching an assault at 0309 on 30 August. The assault force cleared the Lig Ligato house and an adjacent building, both of which were on the UNOSOM priority target list. This operation was conducted professionally and on short notice. The assault force detained nine people who turned out to be UN employees. They also took weapons, drugs, communications gear, and other items from the buildin_e_s._ The UN_erqplo ees were not su osed to be there. r)(1)
l(b)(1)
(8RiPt TF Ranger performed five other missions during the next month. These included the raid on the old Russian compound on 6 September; the Jialiou House/police station raid on 14 September; the raid on Radio Mogadishu on 17 September; the raid on Osman Atto's garage on 18 September; and the capture of Osman Atto on 21 September. These first six missions were tactical successes. The raid on the police station and subsequent operations were Phase III operations. In each case, the assault and blocking forces landed with no or only minimal opposition, seized their objectives, searched them, detained suspects, and departed the area . Although Aideed had eluded apprehension, his key lieutenants were vulnerable, and the capture of Osman Atto had proven TF Ranger's capability to strike in the heart of the SNA stronghold.
(5;~lpt After the capture of Atto, TF Ranger continued to seek Phase ITI targets by identifying the location and movement of other key Aideed supporters, including Colonel Abdi Hassan A wale (Qeydid), the Minister of the Interior, and Omar Salad Elmi, Aideed's principal political advisor. [<b><1>
