Books, Manuscripts
During their 2009 OP HERRICK tour, The Black Watch's role was to raid into Taliban insurgent heartlands, rather than 'hold ground', like other battlegroups. This text charts the experiences of the battlegroup from its training, deployment, and its 13 operations, including raids into the Sangin Valley.
