The film was produced and directed by Ridley Scott. It tells the story of The Battle in Mogadishu. The main focus of the film are the men of the Delta force and rangers who was task to capture the warlord's lieutenants. It was supposed to be a quick snatch and grab mission that went bad and resulted in several casualties.
During this bloody event two black hawk choppers were shot down. In response two delta force sniper volunteered to secure a downed chopper. Their heroic attempt to provide support and perimeter defense for a downed Black hawk helicopter made them heroes and was awarded the medal of honor but sadly it was given posthumously.
Dam is a new name in the 1/6th military world, but seeing this figure and its detail, i think this company has a lot of potential. This is the first figure they released. Staff Sargent Eversmann he was a Ranger and also leader of chalk 4.
Nice sturdy box with back ground art work as you open it.
SSGT. Eversmann played by actor Josh Hartnett.
He wears a three color pattern desert BDU.
Close up of the head sculpt and several patches.

He carried a M16a2 and several grenades.
He also had a radio, a PASGT helmet covered in the older six color desert pattern camo,
rappeling gloves (tan), a ranger green gloves and a strobe.
In the last part of the moving he used the strobe to mark enemy position.
Also included were two water canteen and pouch.
The canteen's cap can be remove.

Check out the detail on the working ALICE clips.
This clips attach the pouches to the belt.

Looking at the excellent work done in this figure I'm really looking forward to their next release.
