According to the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 59th Brigade, this position is dominant in the defense of the brigade, and the enemy concentrated a lot of troops to keep it.

Three groups of soldiers were involved in the assault; they received the tactical names 'Alfa', 'Bravo', and 'Charlie'. Each of them acted according to the task specified by the plan. Their delivery was carried out by three HMMWV armored vehicles, one of which struck an anti-tank mine, but the crew and troops were not injured and continued the mission.
