"Delta Couldn't Have Done This" — What A US Navy Captain Said About JTF2 Operators in Kandahar

Canadian JTF2 shocked US Special Forces in Afghanistan. In the first months after 9/11, just 40 Canadian operators from Joint Task Force 2 carried out some of the most dangerous missions of the War on Terror alongside Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Task Force K-Bar. From Zhawar Kili cave clearances near the Pakistan border to Operation Anaconda in the Shah-i-Kot Valley, these Tier One Canadian commandos earned the respect of US commanders in ways almost nobody outside the intelligence world ever heard about. This documentary breaks down the classified history of JTF2 in Afghanistan, the secret deployment ordered before Canada officially entered the war, the Kandahar missions that embarrassed larger American units, and the moment Task Force K-Bar commander Captain Robert Harward reportedly called JTF2 his “first choice” for direct action missions.
