Battle of Mogadishu 1993 - America's Special Forces and Rangers

A brief history of the October 3rd and 4th battle also known as the Day of the Rangers. The battle was fought by forces of the United States supported by the United Nations Operation in Somalia II (UNOSOMII) and Somali militiamen loyal to Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
.
On this day, U.S. Army forces in Mogadishu attempted to seize two of Aidid’s high ranking lieutenants during a meeting in the capitol. After the attack, Somali militia and armed civilian forces shot down two American UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The succeeding raid that began as a one-hour operation to secure and recover the crews of both helicopters turned into an overnight battle in Mogadishu.
The battle resulted in the death of 24 Pakistanis, 19 U.S. soldiers, and 500‒1,000 Somalis. According to American sources, American forces suffered 18 deaths, 73 wounded, and one helicopter pilot captured. At least one Pakistani soldier and one Malaysian soldier were killed as part of the rescue forces. There are varied reports pointing to an estimated 1,500 to 3,000 Somali casualties, including civilians.
