Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior | Ric Prado | Ep. 145

Enrique Prado found himself in his first firefight at age seven. The son of a middle-class Cuban family caught in the midst of the Castro Revolution, his family fled their war-torn home for the hope of a better life in America. Fifty years later, the Cuban refugee retired from the Central Intelligence Agency as the CIA equivalent of a two-star general. Black Ops is the story of Ric’s legendary career that spanned two eras, the Cold War and the Age of Terrorism. Operating in the shadows, Ric and his fellow CIA officers fought a little-seen and virtually unknown war to keep USA safe from those who would do it harm. After duty stations in Central, South America, and the Philippines, Black Ops follows Ric into the highest echelons of the CIA’s headquarters at Langley, Virginia. In late 1995, he became Deputy Chief of Station and co-founding member of the Bin Laden Task Force. Three years later, after serving as head of Korean Operations, Ric took on one of the most dangerous missions of his career: to re-establish a once-abandoned CIA station inside a hostile nation long since considered a front line of the fight against Islamic terrorism. He and his team carried out covert operations and developed assets that proved pivotal in the coming War on Terror. A harrowing memoir of life in the shadowy world of assassins, terrorists, spies and revolutionaries, Black Ops is a testament to the courage, creativity and dedication of the Agency’s Special Activities Group and its elite shadow warriors.

Little Bird pilot Greg Coker on being shot down in Iraq, Ep. 74

Little Bird pilot Greg Coker on being shot down in Iraq, Ep. 74

Greg Coker was a AH-6 Little Bird pilot with the Nightstalkers and saw action in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was one wild episode as Greg tells us about how he joined the Infantry and then become a helicopter pilot flying Cobras and Apaches before assessing for the 160th SOAR. After 9/11 he deployed to Afghanistan as a fire support officer and had some hair raising experiences. Then came the invasion of Iraq, where he saw serious action at Haditha dam conducting gun runs for nearly a week straight. Then Greg tells us about how he was shot down in 2004 by a surface to air missile. He recalls every microscopic detail of the 8 second crash. After a Delta operator pulled him out of the crash site, he helped them raid the compound where the missile came from and continued to engage the enemy.
