Operation Enduring Freedom – Afghanistan
JSOC carried out raids in Afghanistan. The number is not publicly known, but is estimated to be in the hundreds. Several have been documented in the 2013 documentary Dirty Wars by Jeremy Scahill and by other reporting. In one 2010 raid in Gardez, JSOC troops killed one U.S.-trained Police commander and another man, and three women, two of whom were pregnant, who went to the men's aid. Then-JSOC commander William McRaven visited the affected family, offered them a sheep in restitution, and apologized.
