'''''Taking Fire''''' is a documentary series produced for [Discovery Channel](/source/Discovery_Channel) in which members of the [101st Airborne Division](/source/101st_Airborne_Division) filmed their deployment in Afghanistan largely through the use of [helmet camera](/source/helmet_camera)s and [hand-held cameras](/source/Hand-held_camera). The filming took place in the [Korangal Valley](/source/Korangal_Valley); in order to avoid compromising mission integrity, the United States military reviewed all footage of the series prior to its publication by Discovery.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Galas |first=Marj |date=7 October 2016 |title=Discovery's 'Taking Fire' Offers New Perspective With Helmet-Cam Footage |work=[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine)) |url=https://variety.com/2016/artisans/production/discovery-war-documentary-taking-fire-1201878302/}}</ref> The documentary captured video of American soldiers in combat against the [Taliban](/source/Taliban) in the [Islamic Republic of Afghanistan](/source/Islamic_Republic_of_Afghanistan) as well as descriptions from members of the 101st Airborne regarding their comrades [killed in action](/source/killed_in_action) and the military operations in which the Division participated.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/11/taking-fire-discovery-shows-american-soldiers-patr/|title='Taking Fire' on Discovery shows American soldiers on patrol in Afghanistan|website=[The Washington Times](/source/The_Washington_Times) |access-date=2016-09-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/discovery-channels-new-war-series-continues-its-makeover-1473672601|title=Discovery Channel's New War Series Continues Its Makeover|last=Flint|first=Joe|date=2016-09-12|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|issn=0099-9660|access-date=2016-09-18}}</ref>
