On October 3rd 1993, the Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Black Hawk Down incident, occured in Somalia's capital city, Mogadishu. The conflict arose from a mission by U.S. forces to capture key advisors to Somali warlord Aidid. The operation quickly turned disastrous when two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters were downed by hostiles on the ground, leading to a desperate overnight battle to rescue the downed crews.

The fighting was intense and chaotic, with U.S. forces facing heavy resistance from militia and civilian fighters. Despite efforts to secure the crash sites and extract the trapped soldiers, the operation resulted in 18 U.S. soldiers killed and dozens wounded, along with hundreds of Somali casualties.

The battle had significant political ramifications, leading to a reevaluation of U.S. involvement in Somalia and a shift towards a more limited role in peacekeeping operations. The events of Mogadishu also highlighted the challenges and risks of military intervention in complex conflicts, influencing future U.S. foreign policy decisions.

In memory of the fallen.
