Task Force Dagger After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the Commander of Central Command, General Tommy Franks, recommended a military course of action that linked the U.S. military, CIA and Northern Alliance in unprecedented teamwork. The Task Force Dagger was one of the first Joint Special Operations Task Forces to begin operations along with the CIA's Jawbreaker team to defeat al-Qa’ida and its Taliban supporters in Afghanistan. The Force was critical in achieving victory in northern Afghanistan in the initial phase of Operation Enduring Freedom. This exhibit highlights parts of these group members and their respective missions. The exhibit includes nine story boards detailing the operation’s plan, timeline and results. Artifacts consist of Afghanistan maps with unit locations and timelines, photos and authentic tack from Afghanistan including saddle blankets, crops and a saddle bag. Additional special pieces are from the personal collection of General Tommy Franks including his camouflage uniform and a 105mm shell casing from an AC-130 Gunship and a donated art piece painted by the late Nancy Benham-Johnston.
