U.S. Soldiers are shown in combat footage from helmet cameras attacking an alleged Taliban base after being ambushed by a Taliban RPG shooter.

A close-range RPG blast zips past the soldiers as they are approaching the compound, starting a brief but intense engagement in which the soldiers attack the compound from where the RPG was fired while being heavily suppressed.

The person who recorded this clip, Josh Smith, stated this about it: "2012 Paratroopers in Ghazni Afghanistan. Taliban ambush was started by RPG. We pushed through the ambush and had rolling firefights until capturing an anti-aircraft ZPU. 82nd Airborne White Devils-Black Hearts."
