10 Reveals From Our '12 Strong' Set Visit2 of 10
Chris Hemsworth plays real-life soldier Capt. Mitch Nelson
In Afghanistan, Nelson, a specialist in "unconventional warfare," soon found himself allied with Uzbek warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum, who oversaw the 1,500-member Northern Alliance cavalry. The Green Beret became famous in war circles for responding to an impatient senior officer's request for a mission update with the statement: "I am advising a man on how to best employ light infantry and horse cavalry in the attack against Taliban T-55s [tanks], mortars, artillery, personnel carriers and machine guns — a tactic which I think became outdated with the invention of the Gatling gun.”
