Philman

Philman was the United States Army Ranger who took part in the mission to capture terrorist mastermind Ibrahim Bin-Khalid at his compound in Yemen.

Philman was in the lead chopper with Sergeant Eric Carter and other Army Rangers. As the chopper landed, he followed them from an abandoned village street to the northeast gate of Bin-Khalid's compound. Carter had Philman breached the gate as fellow Ranger Ben Grimes followed him. As the other Rangers followed, they were attacked when Bin-Khalid's men fired at them from all directions. He and Carter went to a truck and provided covering fire for Grimes and the other Rangers as they moved to the far end of the building.

As Bin-Khalid's was believed to be killed in the explosion, the Rangers went to swab DNA on body parts at the scene. Mission director Rebecca Ingram warned Philman and the others that more hostiles are appoarching the helicopter and ordered them to retreat. Carter conveys the order and Philman retreated back to the helicopter. The chopper was almost hit by a RPG, but the missile flew through and detonated harmlessly in some ruins. Carter gave the signal to lift off as he, Philman, and the other Rangers were airlifted out of the area.
