In the pre-dawn hours of October 25, 1983, the US Military was mobilized to carry out combat operations.
Backed by all the airpower the USA could locally muster, members of the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division and the 8th Marine Regiment boarded their respective air and sea vehicles and prepared for what could have been a one-way trip.
Elsewhere, the US Army’s famed “Delta Force,†still at this time a relatively new outfit, boarded MH-60 and MH-6 helicopters, preparing to redeem themselves after a tragic failure in Iran years prior.
