| VICTORY POINT recounts the amazing story of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment (2/3) during Operations Red Wings and Whalers in the summer of 2005, where the Marines ultimately destroyed a ruthless Taliban- and Al Qaeda-linked insurgency cell led by a man named Ahmad Shah. In Operation Red Wings, battalion leadership utilized U.S. Navy SEALs for the opening phases of the mission (for reasons to be disclosed, for the first time publicly, in VICTORY POINT). However, the four-man Navy Special Operations surveillance and reconnaissance team became embroiled in a feverish ambush, where Shah's men killed all but one. Red Wings further spiraled into disaster when one of Shah's men shot down an Army Special Operations Air Regiment MH-47D Chinook sent in to rescue the four, killing all on board. |
| Little has been comprehensively written about Red Wings, leaving most of the operation's details unknown. And virtually nothing has been disclosed or written about Operation Whalers, the subsequent mission—which yielded a vastly different outcome than that of Red Wings.
