Having been referred to as 'the elite of the elite', the Pathfinder Platoon is the recce element of UK's 16 Air Assault Brigade.
In the summer of 2006, the Pathfinders (numbering approx. 25 men) fought off a protracted siege laid down by the Taliban in the town of Musa Qaleh, Helmand Province.
The aforesaid battle was described in moderate detail in one of the chapters in Patrick Bishop's book: '3 PARA'. Reference to this bash was from one of the illustrations published in the book depicting a group photo of the Pathfinders in Musa Qaleh. There are however bound to be certain inaccuracies in this kitbash as the quality of the photo was rather grainy & zoomed-out (in order to capture the shot of the whole platoon). To this end, some liberties had been taken for the bash.
