Hi! My name is Avery Mc Shane. I live smack dab in the middle of nowhere in Venezuela. My best friends are Billy Todd & my dog Mati. Our adventures started when the bad guy Pablo Malo caught us trespassing & shot Todd in the butt with his shotgun full of rock salt.. . From then on everything got a mite out of control! Things got blown up folks got kidnapped & there was a heckuva lot more gunplay
- just like in my favourite western movies. Looking back it was a pretty cool adventure so that's why I've told the story. I really hope you like it!

The Black Watch 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland Battle Group deployed on Op HERRICK 10 to Afghanistan for six months during the summer of 2009. Its role was that of Aviation Assault Battle Group & its main task was raiding into insurgent-held areas in both Helmand & Kandahar Provinces. The Battle Group was dubbed the flying squad by the media as it took the fight to the Taliban with aggressive helicopter assaults. The book follows the Battle Groups progress starting with pre-tour training & deployment. It describes using first-hand accounts the thirteen Battle Group operations including the Sangin Valley raids & the one wave assault at the start of Operation PANTHERS CLAW. Also covered are the fighting patrols in Kandahar Province in an area known as the heart of darkness. Above all this is a record of the achievements of every member of the Battle Group who were individually & collectively asked to do extraordinary things in the face of an highly experienced & ruthless enemy. Personal accounts & letters supported by superb images many taken by Battle Group members vividly illustrate the paradox of conflict: the elation & fear of contact; the intensity of combat & the boredom of waiting; the calm of camp life & chaos of battle. The book exposes the humour the grief the hardship & the camaraderie experienced by soldiers on the front line of modern warfare. The vital contribution of those left behind both Rear Party & families is underlined. There were casualties & losses each one felt deeply & we see how the joy of the homecoming was tempered by these. While members families & friends of the Battle Group should see this as a personal tribute others will find Aviation Assault Battle Group an inspiring account of the combined efforts of this highly professional dedicated & courageous team. It is hoped that the book will also lead to a better understanding of what our Servicemen & women are achieving in this most dangerous & controversial of war zones. ...
