Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Two American paratroopers went missing on Wednesday during a "routine resupply mission in western Afghanistan," the NATO-led force in the country said Friday.

The pair -- from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division -- are operating under NATO's International Security Assistance Force. Initial reports indicate that 25 ISAF and Afghan forces have been wounded in the search for the two.

"All available resources are being used to find the two missing paratroopers," said the brigade operations officer, Lt. Col. Guy Jones. "Our rear detachment is doing everything they can to support the families during this difficult time while we continue the search with our Afghan and coalition partners."

yeah... that never happens. I mean, we didn't loose a 1SG in the Hooch, and a whole fucking stick in the trees 1k east of Sicily.

I have a harder time accepting that a chain of command might have put them into a river, under-equiped for the task. I hope they Sua Sponte'd it.
