Dagaal xooggan oo ka socda xerada Fort Drum ee Soomaaliya ayaa bilaabmay Oct. 3, 1993, iyadoo la adeegsanaayo raadiyaha – “hawada madow.” Inta badan dadka Mareykanka waxay ogaadeen sida ciidamada Mareykanka iyo Qaramada Midoobay u soo badbaadiyeen 99 askar oo ku yaalla waddooyinka Muqdisho iyada oo loo marayo filim Hollywood ah iyo buug magac isku mid ah. Laakiin filim sameeyaha iyo Air Force Col. Randall Larsen ayaa sheegay in askartii ka timid Fort Drum, oo si xoog leh ugu dagaalamay dagaal laba maalmood socday oo ka socda waddooyinka Muqdisho, marna ma helin deymaha ay u qalmaan.
Wuxuu u hoggaansamaa oo soo saaraa dokuminti cusub oo muujinaya doorka 341 askarta qaybta Mountains – oo laga soo bilaabo 2-aad oo ka mid ah Bannaanka 14aad – wuxuu u ciyaaray badbaadinta Rangers intii lagu jiray dagaal xooggan 3-dii Octoobar iyo Oct. 4, 1993. ” Sheeko aan la sheegin … “ayuu yiri Col. Larsen. “Waxay ahayd sheeko cajiib ah.” Markii ay dhammaatey dhammaadkii Octoobar 4, 18 askari ayaa la dilay, 80 kalena way ku dhaawacmeen, laakiin ciidamada Maraykanku waxay ku dagaalameen Muqdisho si ay u helaan xubno ka tirsan waaxda rasmiga ah ee isbahaysiga dagaalka, inkastoo duqeymo culus . Laba askari oo Fort Drum ah ayaa dhintey intii lagu jiray howlgalkii badbaadinta, ka dibna dab-demiska ugu weynaa tan iyo dagaalkii Vietnam.
Hase yeeshee, qaybta 10aad ee Buundada Dagaalka waxaa si weyn looga fekeraa, xitaa iyadoo loo yaqaan ‘Ridley Scott’ filin ‘Black Hawk Down’ iyo buugii 1999 Mark Bowden.

Bandhigga Octoobarka 4 ee Fort Drum ayaa iman doona 25-ka guuradii ka soo wareegtay maalintii labaad ee dagaalkii 1993.
Kornayl ka howlgabay ma uusan faalloonin agaasime Ridley Scott iyo filimkiisa oo ku guuldareystey in uu u sheego ka qayb qaadashada 2-14 ee dagaalka. Filimku wuxuu ka hadlayaa Fort Drum, laakiin wuxuu isticmaalay jilayaal isku dhafan si uu u sheego sheekada Hollywood ee sheekada. “Waxba kama dhihin Ridley Scott,” ayuu yiri garsoore. “Waxay ahayd madadaalo.” Sidoo kale wax dhibaato ah kuma qabo buugga Mr. Bowden, kaas oo lagu xiray xiriirka Fort Drum.
Waxa uu leeyahay dhibaatooyin la xiriira taxanaha taxanaha “The Real Story of”, oo loo malaynayo sheekada runta ah ee ka dambeysa filimka. “Laakiin marnaba laguma sheegin qaybta 10aad ee Mountains-da,” ayuu yiri Col. Larsen. Sawirqaadihiisu wuxuu u taagan yahay sheekada askartii 2-14. Dhammaan ciidamada Mareykanka ee ku dagaallamay waddooyinka Muqdisho waxay ahaayeen geesiyaal, gumeysigu wuxuu ku adkaystay.
