It also means a hell of a lot to any of the guys out there who might be cut off. They're going to know that someone is coming to get them, rather than them being left to (in the words of Kipling talking about another Afghan war):
"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
."
