Kajaki Province

Kajaki Province was a region of Afghanistan, due north of Kandahar.

During Day 9, U.S. Air Force Major Shepherd led a convoy in Kajaki to transport two British Royal Air Force officers back to their unit. They arrived at their destination just before 12:00pm GMT. Just then, Lieutenant Chris Tanner, piloting a MQ-1 Predator drone to provide reconnaissance from above, was shocked when an outside party commandeered control of the drone, and prepared to fire upon the convoy below with a Hellfire missile. Despite Tanner's frantic warnings, four airmen, including both of the RAF officers, were killed in the attack.

Background information and notes

 * In reality, Kajaki is both a village and a district of Helmand Province, rather than a province itself. On August 23, 2007, three British soldiers of the Royal Anglian Regiment were killed in a suspected friendly fire incident northwest of Kajaki, when a pair of U.S. Air Force fighter jets provided close air support during an engagement with the Taliban.
