Features: The cavalry of the U.S. Army is also known as armored reconnaissance units, divided into heavy and light categories, with only about 2,000 to 3,000 people in the entire United States. Heavy cavalry primarily uses armored reconnaissance vehicles in combat, while light cavalry is more special, with only a few hundred people, mostly using Humvees or deploying by helicopter. "Although it can’t be said to be a place that will haunt me, it is indeed where I once fought. Our comrades shed blood here, even gave their lives, and I too sweated and bled on this land, but I gained a sense of pride." In 2004, the author accompanied his U.S. Army light cavalry platoon to an Afghan peacekeeping outpost. A year of combat life, several close calls with death, left the author with indelible memories. In this book, the author meticulously records his service in Afghanistan, including his real military life, the world’s most advanced weapons and equipment, fierce direct confrontations with terrorists, firsthand experiences at major international events, and the true situation of the Afghan people during the war. This is a documentary literary work forged from iron and blood. At the same time, as a reconnaissance soldier, the author captured over a thousand on-site photos in time, and the book selects nearly a hundred of them, making readers feel as if they are there.
