One was built by Green Beret Staff Sergeant Rob Pirelli and his Operational Detachment Alpha -072, or "A-Team." Pirelli, of the Army's 10th Special Forces Group, built the combat outpost in a remote part of Diyala Province, near the Iranian border, in 2007. As a lone reporter, Alex Quade was there at the combat outpost's beginning stages, then spent 2-years covering these same, secretive Special Forces "A-Teams" on multiple deployments. During one combat mission, Green Beret Staff Sgt. Pirelli was killed in action during an ambush. His heroism saved his 12-Special Forces teammates, and the Iraqis his unit was advising. As a reporter, I made the commitment to follow Pirelli's "A-Team" and his "Gold Star Family" for 5-years after he was killed; Alex Quade also went back to Combat Outpost Pirelli repeatedly over the years Written by Alex Quade See less
