Local villagers were suspected of supporting the Taliban, providing a safe haven for strikes against U.S. troops. But as the soldiers of 3rd Platoon walked through the alleys of La Mohammad Kalay, they saw no armed fighters, no evidence of enemy positions.

The insurgents, for their part, preferred to stay hidden from American troops, striking from a distance with IEDs.
