If you are looking for a good read on the subject I would try "first in" by Gary Schroen, he was with the first CIA team on the ground in Afghanistan in Sept. of 2001. I would note his team carried Hi Powers and AK's, because neither is clearly "American".

It was also interesting to see how they stocked up on equipment for the trip. Each of the members was issued a set amount of cash to go out and buy supplies. The author went to his local REI to buy what he was going to need. I had figured the CIA had a warehouse full of everything one would need on a covert operation in a hostile land.
