The Forgotten Battalion: 2nd Battalion 7th Marines

2nd Battalion 7th Marines, the first battalion along with 1/6 of the the United States Marine Corps to re-enter Afghanistan. Dropped in the worst areas imaginable with little or no support these men showed the true meaning of what it means to be a Marine. Despite heavy losses including 20 KIA and over 160 WIA, and hindered by neglect from the highest levels, the men of 2/7 battled impossible odds, and came out on top with one of the most successful campaigns against the Taliban in the history of the Afghan Conflict, killing more Taliban than the entire U.S. Army presence had in the three prior years.
