Trivia
Dostum words

Filming
Although much of the filming took place near White Sands Missile Range, the scenes involving military encampments were not part of an actual Army installation. The structures were leased from AKS Military for filming, a private manufacturer who also provided the military structures for Transformers (2007).
The Curious Case of Rob Riggle
Rob Riggle plays Colonel Max Bowers, former battalion commander of the 5th Special Forces Group, in the movie. Riggle, a Marine, actually served directly under the real Bowers during the same time period the movie is based on.
