The Army is upgrading the valor awards of 60 special operators who participated in the ill-fated Battle of Mogadishu 28 years ago perhaps best known through the “Black Hawk Down” book and movie. The late recognition comes as Pentagon officials decide whether to send U.S. troops to Somalia anew.
“The upgrades are a result of the October 2020 directive from former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, who directed the Senior Army Decorations Board to re-evaluate previously approved awards for valor,” according to a statement from U.S. Army Special Operations Command, on Thursday.
