The final supply convoy to use the road nicknamed “Ambush Alley” resulted in a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) being temporarily abandoned at the outpost.
According to Jake Tapper’s book, “The Outpost,” the vehicle was an inviting target and occupied too much space in a 1½-acre site. Ultimately, the decision was that the LMTV had to go but the effort to return it to its home base proved to be tragic.
