The female analyst is shown watching the raid from a live feed in Langley, Virginia. In real life she was at the base in Islamabad and saw the SEALs off.
The two helicopters used in the raid were highly modified Sikorsky MH-60 Blackhawks, equipped with sharply angled anti-radar stealth cladding, but the helicopters in the movie appear to be standard Blackhawks.
