Synopsis

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior—a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft—was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled.Through the vantage point of a Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army's Air Cavalry, Scouts Out! offers a truly unique view of the war in Afghanistan. This is accomplished by revealing a deeply personal journey through two deployments, documenting the day-to-day life, struggles, combat, and extreme challenges faced. The after effects of these experiences can be witnessed as Ryan's outlook and very personality are forever altered and changed in unexpected ways. Drawing from copious journals and notes, everything captured in Scouts Out! is raw, real, and in-the-moment. Richly illustrated with 70 original photographs and maps, Scouts Out! presents an essential and accurate narrative of the conflict in Afghanistan. Devoid of the filler and misleading propaganda that is so pervasive in modern media and writing, Scouts Out! is an engrossing true story from America's longest and least understood war.

Evermore poignant in these raw post war days, Robicheaux’s Scouts Out regales the journey of a modern soldier. From driven student pilot to contemplative veteran we ride aloft as our eyes are opened to what was Afghanistan’s ever present yet out of mind warzone. Documenting two deployments to Afghani......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on January 17, 2022

Excellent read for all Americans I find it difficult to find the words to adequately describe my feelings after reading this book. ‘Thank you ‘ really doesn’t do justice to the appreciation I felt for not only the team but the overall service members which we (Americans) sent them to accomplish.

Goodreads review by Greg on December 14, 2021

This is a firsthand account of everything that The War in Afghanistan was, told by someone with a unique viewpoint to all the bravery and stupidity that transpired. As a Kiowa pilot his unit acted much like a fire brigade, rapidly responding to any hotspot in their area of operations at a moments no......more
