July 2006, Baluchi Valley,
Uruzgan province, Afghanistan
Operation Perth is underway, troops of the Australian Special Forces Task Group 3 move into the green zone of the Baluchi Valley north east of Tarin Kowt to search through the mud brick compounds looking for the enemy.
And, in a somewhat unusual move, the insurgents try to hold ground.
The episode becomes known as 'The Great Taliban Turkey Shoot'.
