Air Force pararescueman Staff Sergeant Michael Rogers of the 57th Rescue Squadron was awarded the 2021 Air Force Sergeants Association Pitsenbarger Award for treating seven members of a Special Forces team that were wounded in a blast in Kunduz province in Afghanistan during a 2019 deployment. 
The Air Force special operator was assigned to a Special Forces A-Team (ODA) from the 7th SFG(A) during late 2019. The team was supporting Afghan military units battling the Taliban. It was Rogers’s second deployment to Afghanistan as he had previously been there in 2017. 
The unit came through a village where Taliban fighters launched several rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at the team as they attacked a Taliban HQs and arms cache that they had located in a former school.
