The Somalia bit is very dodgy - they did not have overwhelming firepower. If I remember correctly the biggest single piece of firepower was the AH-1 Cobra, and considering the US military's possession of everything from 155mm artillery to the JDAM to the Abrams to the Spectre Gunship...

As far as I gather from the accounts, they did attack US centres of mass during Mog - the convoy and the helicopters themselves. What else is there to attack? The US had no heavier stuff during that raid.
