Task Force Dawn Sky
U.S. Military and CIA Hostage Rescue Assault OperationsDescription
Task Force Dawn Sky carries out the hostage rescue mission after President Bartlet issues the 'Go' order in the Situation Room. Admiral Fitzwallace details their assault: Delta Force teams fly in Comanches and a Blackhawk to insert 20 men securing the perimeter and a six-man snatch team grabbing the hostages, backed by a CIA wet team for close-quarters kills. The force launches 47 minutes after approval and wraps in two hours total, marking the shift to direct action.
