Members of a Special Forces ODA, Afghanistan, late 2001 working with members of the Northern Alliance.
Note the SOFLAM laser designator mounted on a tripod.
SF ODAs used the SOFLAM to devestating effect during the campaign against the Taliban.
From outside of the range of the enemy's weapons, a skilled Special Forces soldier or AFSOC Combat Controller can call down accurate strikes from aircraft high overhead.
