One of the most overlooked aspects of Operation Allies Refuge, as well as the Afghan Withdrawal as a whole is the role played by the Companies from the US Army's famous 10th Mountain Division. Sergeant First Class (E-7) Daniel Strot (now retired as a Master Sergeant) was the Platoon Sergeant for Bravo Company's 2nd Platoon during 4/31's deployment to Afghanistan going into 2021. For months leading up to August 2021, SFC Strot and his soldiers aided the US mission in Afghanistan any way they could, including running the Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) at Bagram Air Base. Just like the soldiers of Charlie Company, they were short on men, material, information, and even training at times, but they proved to be as resourceful as any other Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division, past or present, and succeeded again and again. Climb to Glory!
