Private First Class Todd Blackburn was fresh out of high school and had not been through Ranger school yet when he was assigned to Chalk Four. Eversmann would instruct Blackburn carefully in the moments before his chalk was to rope into Mogadishu to provide support for the Delta Force team assigned to find and arrest two major members of Aidid's group. However, Blackburn would fall from the aircraft as his team made their decent seventy feet down to the ground. Blackburn would be extricated from the battle via Humvee in the first hours of the battle.
