A rescue mission was conducted by Captain Scott Mitchell's Ghost Team in 2009. After a US SpecOps team and their CIA contacts were ambushed by the Taliban, the three survivors were tracked to a safehouse. Mitchell's team was deployed to rescue them. Alicia Diaz was the sniper, and Joe Ramirez and Mitchell were riflemen. They stormed the building and recovered Sergeant "Rutang" McDaniel and the two CIA agents. On the way back to the UH-60 Blackhawk, they were again ambushed by over 100 Taliban fighters who came from a tunnel network. Diaz and Mitchell were forced to make it to secondary landing zone. Susan Grey later questioned Mitchell's decision to get McDaniel onto the chopper first.
