Knowing the LMTV armored supply vehicle was too heavy for the road in Kamdesh, Keating volunteered against protocol to drive the truck, choosing to risk his own life instead of the lives of the men serving underneath him. Keating's death, while mostly historically accurate, is pushed up in the film as a way to condense the storyline.
Clint Romesha and Ty Carter, portrayed by Scott Eastwood and Caleb Landry Jones, were not present when Benjamin Keating died. In real life, Keating had served with the 3/71 CAV, not the 3/61 CAV (the unit he's part of in The Outpost movie). Benjamin Keating's death actually happened three years earlier, in 2006, not 2009. Is Benjamin Keating's death portrayed accurately in the movie?įor the most part, yes. Jake Tapper's book 'The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor' provided the basis for the movie.
