This is a video about the Battle of Wanat (Afghnistan) on July 13, 2008, where 9 of our brave solders were killed including Lt. Jonathan Brostrom. My cousin, CPT Brandon Kenedy, offers insight to the history and nature of the unit and terrain as he was a platoon leader in a sister company at the time and led a quick response force to the battle arriving just hours after the main fighting. Brostrom and Kennedy were best friends and Kennedy accompanied Brostroms remains back to his home in Hawaii. MAJ John Carson, Professor of Military Science, University of Hawaii, led UH ROTC cadets through a virtual staff ride of the Battle of Wanat. Developed by the Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, this VSR takes students all around the battlefield, explains how conditions were set, and explores the outcomes. Mission Training Complex - Hawaii developed a 3D capability using the VBS2... gaming simulation platform to virtually take students through the valleys, obstacles and fighting positions held by enemy and friendly forces.
