UPPER GERESHK VALLEY, AFGHANISTAN - JULY 9: British Paratroopers from the 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment on duty as a quick reaction force get ready to rescue their injured fellows shoot by a British Army Apache Helicopter while on patrol and under a Taliban attack on July 9, 2008 in Gibraltar FOB (Forward Operating Base) in Upper Gereshk Valley, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. On July 9, 2008 at 12:27 Afghan time, a British patrol requested fire support from a British Apache when they encountered enemy forces near FOB Gibraltar. After engaging one enemy position, the Apache fired upon another position which the crew believed to be held by enemy forces. It would appear that the British forces were mistaken for the enemy and as a result three members of the patrol were seriously wounded and six more were classified as walking wounded. The seriously wounded personnel were moved by helicopter to Camp Bastion medical facilities. Two members of personnel remain in hospital and one member of personnel has gone back to the UK for further treatment. An investigation is underway into how the incident occurred.
