Jarhead 2: Field of Fire is a 2014 direct-to-video war film directed by Don Michael Paul and starring Cole Hauser, Josh Kelly, Danielle Savre, Bokeem Woodbine, and Stephen Lang. It is an indirect sequel to Jarhead. The story is about the team of U.S. Marines who extract an education activist from the strong-hold of the Taliban insurgents.
When his sergeant is killed in action against the Taliban, United States Marine Corps Corporal Chris Merrimette is given command of a squad and assigned a mission to resupply a forward operating base (FOB). The unit consists of Corporal Danny Kettner (Bokeem Woodbine), Private Danielle 'Danni' Allen, Private Rafael Soto, Private Justin Li and Private Khalid Hassan abu Faisal, an Afghan National Army soldier helping the unit navigate.
Kettner and Faisal clash verbally, and later physically when Faisal gets tired of waiting for a team of specialists to arrive and evaluate a suspected IED. Faisal manages to disable the IED, allowing the Marines' four-vehicle convoy to continue. Not long after, the squad is flagged down by SEAL Team 10 Senior Chief John Fox. Because the Senior Chief is ranking officer, he orders Merrimette and his men to assist in his operation, which is to extract the 'package' - a woman named Anoosh - from the Taliban-controlled Helmand River Valley. Anoosh is sought by the Taliban for defying Sharia law by attaining an education.
As the team advances, they are ambushed. Pinned behind a rock, Soto freezes. Fox's SEAL Team 10 companion - and only other survivor of a previous ambush - and Pvt Li are killed trying to get to Soto. Chief Fox motivates the squad to continue with the new mission. The team is again confronted, this time by a Taliban sniper. Not wanting gunfire to call attention to more Taliban, Chief Fox and Merrimette move through the bush and ambush the Taliban sniper and his spotter. Fox stabs the sniper to death after a brief struggle; Merrimette overcomes the spotter and beats him to death with a rock.
More Taliban soldiers, this time in small pickup trucks, surprise the squad. In the ensuing firefight, Chief Fox and all the Taliban are killed. As he lay dying, Fox orders Merrimette to complete the mission by extracting Anoosh; it turns out - unknown to Fox - that Anoosh is scheduled to make a speech at UN HQ in New York City the next day. Fox tells Merrimette to get Anoosh to his friend, a police captain in the nearby village of Minar.
