On the night of October 19th, 2001, a company-sized element of approximately 200 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment parachuted from four Lockheed MC-130 aircraft onto a desert landing strip south of the city on an "objective Rhino". After securing the landing zone, the Rangers raided and secured a number of locations around Kandahar.[1]
The raid was met with little resistance from the Taliban, although some documents were captured, the raid did little to change the overall situation on the ground. In November 2001, the United States Marine Corps would establish a base on the landing zone called Camp Rhino.
