Mogadishu · 3–4 October 1993
Task Force Ranger
Securing the Legacy. Connecting the Brotherhood.
For the men of Task Force Ranger, Mogadishu, October 1993 — and everyone who walked the Mog Mile. We keep their history and hold the brotherhood together.
Task Force Ranger
The Mog Mile
Task Force Ranger was never one unit. Rangers, Delta, the 160th, Air Force pararescue and Navy SEALs went in. The quick reaction force that fought its way through the city to reach them was 10th Mountain. The men who were there count all of it as one task force, and so do we.
The Raid
Task Force Ranger went into Mogadishu on what was planned as a short daylight raid. Two Black Hawks were brought down over the city, and the raid became a rescue.
The Walk Out
When the relief convoy reached the survivors the next morning, there was room in the vehicles for the dead and the seriously wounded and no one else. Everyone still on their feet moved out on foot, under fire, to the stadium.
The Name
That movement is about a mile long. It is remembered as the Mogadishu Mile, shortened by the men who walked it to the Mog Mile. The men who walked it are who we remember here.
The Immediate Objective
