An emotional moment as Bowe Bergdahl's parents stand with the president.
I just want to say, thank you to everyone who has supported Bowe.
After nearly five years in captivity their son Bowe is coming home.
Release me, please, I'm begging you, bring me home, please.
Bring me home.
Behind the scenes, a secret choreography had quickly been worked out in just the last several days.
A U.S. command center was set up, and at an undisclosed location.
U.S. commandos secretly flew to a point near the border where the Taliban said they would be waiting to turn Bergdahl over.
Back at Guantanamo Bay, officials from Qatar were on standby, waiting to take custody of the five Taliban detainees that U.S. was releasing and return for Bergdahl.
That was the guarantee that Taliban need it to let the American soldier go after five years a prisoner.
The Pentagon will not disclose if it was Navy SEALs or Army Delta Force teams.
They were taking no chances, several dozen of America's most elite forces were involved.
Other troops stayed at a distance planes and drones flew overhead keeping watch.
The heavily armed U.S. troops landed facing 18 Taliban and Bergdahl.
A senior U.S. official says Bowe Bergdahl was able to walk and they quickly got him on board of the helicopter.
这是一个激动人心的时刻，Bowe的父母和总统站在一起。我只想说，感谢支持Bowe的每一个人。在将近5年的囚徒生活后，他们的儿子Bowe即将回家。求求你们放了我，求你了，让我回家。背后的情景是，一个秘密的排练在过去的几天生效了。美国指挥中心建立起来了，地点并没有公布。美国指挥官秘密飞到了靠近边境的地点，塔利班宣称他们将推翻Bergdahl统治。回到Guantanamo港湾，卡塔尔官员随时待命，等待接管五名塔利班囚徒，美国正在释放囚徒，遣返Bergdahl。这就是保证，塔利班在五年的囚禁后，需要释放这位美国士兵。五角大楼不会揭示美国海军或者三角洲部队。他们没有任何机会，一些美国最精英的部队参与进来了。其他军队停留在一定距离之外，无人机飞跃头顶，保持监管状态。全副武装的美国军队登陆了，面临18个塔利班武装和Bergdahl。一位高级美国官员说Bowe能够行走，他们会尽快护送他登上直升机。
