This show is currently airing. This article or section is for a series that is Ongoing, or currently on the air and thus is a continuous work in progress. |
The Long Road Home is a 2017 American television miniseries adaptation of the 2007 book The Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family by Martha Raddatz, and is currently being broadcast on the National Geographic channel. The series is an account of a 48-hour battle in Sadr City (an area of Baghdad known as Saddam City before the invasion), that began on April 4th 2004 when militiamen of the Mahdi Army ambushed elements of the newly-arrived 1st Cavalry Division.
Much of the production has been shot at the US Army base at Fort Hood in Texas, and so benefits from the availability of authentic US Army vehicles and equipment, and even advice from some of the 1st Cavalry soldiers who fought in the actual battle.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries The Long Road Home:
