COP Keating On October 3, 2009, around 300 Taliban fighters launched a massive assault on Combat Outpost Keating, a remote U.S. military base in Afghanistan. Surrounded by towering mountains, approximately 53 American soldiers fought desperately to defend the outpost against overwhelming odds. After hours of intense fighting, the attack was repelled. Eight American soldiers were killed and 22 wounded. The battle became known as the **Battle of Kamdesh**, one of the fiercest engagements of the Afghanistan War.
