<Li> Insurgents' bodies </Li> <Li> U.S.--Afghan Strategic Agreement </Li> <P> The Battle of Takur Ghar was a short but intense military engagement between United States special operations forces and al Qaeda insurgents fought in March 2002, atop Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan . For the U.S. side, the battle proved the deadliest entanglement of Operation Anaconda, an effort early in the war in Afghanistan to rout al Qaeda forces from the Shahi - Kot Valley and Arma Mountains . The battle saw three helicopter landings by the U.S. on the mountain top, each greeted by direct assault from al Qaeda forces . Although Takur Ghar was eventually taken, seven U.S. service members were killed and many wounded . The battle is also known as the Battle of Roberts Ridge, after the first casualty of the battle, Navy SEAL Neil C. Roberts . </P> <P> In the evening of March 3 2002, the Task Force 11 leadership essentially ordered the Delta Force AFO commander to pass control of the AFO teams involved in the Operation Anaconda to the SEALs of Task Force Blue - who were moving teams in from Bagram to Gardez for this purpose . The SEALs were not heavily involved in the Operation up to this point but the TF11 commander bluntly ordered their deployment as well as changing the immediate command in an ongoing operation, possibly so that the SEALs could gain combat experience . </P>
