This footage taken by the Taliban is of the Battle of Kamdesh on October 3, 2009 as depicted in the 2020 film โThe Outpost.โ On this day, 300 Tailban fighters attacked Combat Outpost (COP) Keating at 6:00am from all sides. You can see on the video the moment the attack is ordered along with American soldiers moving to cover throughout the base.
Also visible is an A-10 Thunderbolt II and an AH-64 Apache as they join the fight to stop the attack on the base.
Ultimately, the Taliban fighters will enter COP Keating 48 minutes into the battle, burning down numerous buildings as the small American force collapses to a small perimeter within the base. From there, they push teams outwards to repel the Taliban attackers with the help of concentrated air power throughout the day. The final Taliban fighters leave the base around 5:10pm and the battle is over by 7pm.
Of note to the end of the footage you can see the cowardly Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers as they abandon their posts and quickly allow the Taliban to enter the outpost. No ANA soldiers held their ground against the Taliban and they even stole property from Americans during and after the battle.
Ultimately, 8 Americans are killed and 27 are wounded. Roughly 150-200 Taliban fighters are killed or wounded. Two Americans, SSGT Clinton Romesha and SSGT Ty Carter are awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions during the battle. COP Keating is quickly closed by the Americans and abandoned hastily.
