#TheOutpostMovie

The Outpost chronicles the true story of 54 American soldiers who prevailed against a massive attack by over 400 Taliban insurgents just days before they were to be shipped out of the vulnerable Afghanistan terrain. The Battle of Kamdesh, as it was known, was the bloodiest American engagement of the Afghan War. Bravo Troop 3-61 CAV became the most decorated unit of the 19-year conflict.


The Outpost is directed by Rod Lurie (The Contender, The Last Castle), written by the Oscar-nominated writing duo Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson (The Fighter), and adapted from the best-selling non-fiction book The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor, by CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper.


The film stars Scott Eastwood, Caleb Landry Jones and Orlando Bloom with Jack Kesy, Cory Hardrict, Milo Gibson, Jacob Scipio, Taylor John Smith, Jonathan Yunger. Three troops who fought at COP Keating appear in the film including Medal of Honor recipient Ty Carter.

I listened to The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor by Jake Tapper a couple of years ago and thought it would make a good miniseries. It deals with logistics and military spending, lack therefore, regarding the War in A-stain, which is something as civilians we do not see much of. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie in theaters. Thank you for honoring our men and women in uniform.
