From the official Army report: "In every review and study conducted to date, the courage, valor, and discipline of the soldiers who fought at Wanat have been universally praised. These soldiers were well-trained, well-led, and fought bravely to defeat a determined and intense enemy action to overrun their base in Wanat. They persevered in a fashion that deserves broad recognition of their bravery and tenacity," said Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff. "Our hearts go out to the families of the fallen soldiers." "We can never alleviate the suffering felt by the families and friends of the incredibly brave soldiers who were killed and injured during this battle, or adequately express our sympathy for their loss," said McHugh. "We remain grateful for and humbled by their extraordinary courage and valor."
