Due to the particularity of the mission, the operation is called "Tailwind Operation" and the details of the operation have been held for ten years as the actions of the U.S. military and the Central Intelligence Agency in the neutral Lao PDR are clandestine.

Four days later, every American was wounded, and Rose said they did not know the details of the operation before they did, but they had to face the battle, carrying large quantities of ammunition, machine guns and grenades. Rose also brought a lot of medical supplies.

They logged in to Laos and fought the enemy, who rushed into the gunfire of the enemy and rescued the warriors.
