Considerable dramatic license was taken to time-compress the events depicted in the film. Benjamin Keating was posthumously promoted from First Lieutenant to Captain. He was the Executive Officer (second-in-command) of A Troop, 3rd Squadron 71st Cavalry but was never the Troop Commander. He was killed on 26 November 2006 in a truck accident as depicted in the film; he never worked with Clinton Romesha, Ty Carter or any other members of B Troop, 3rd Squadron 61st Cavalry who did not arrive until May 2009 to garrison what was by then already renamed Outpost Keating, two and a half years after his death.
