Advanced Force Operations in Iraq with 10th Special Forces Group | Mark Giaconia | Ep. 129

Before the Iraq war in 2003, Green Beret teams infiltrated Northern Iraq, linked up with the CIA, and embedded deeply with the Kurdish Peshmerga to prepare for war. These special missions were called “Advanced Force Operations.” Subsequently, these special teams brought in the rest of the Green Berets during an operation called "the Ugly Baby." Then, one of the most significant battles in Special Forces history occurred: "Operation Viking Hammer," where six Green Beret teams along with a handful of CIA and Air Force Special Ops personnel, combined with approximately 8000 Peshmerga, took back hundreds of square kilometers from almost 1000 Ansar Al Islam extremists, and secured a poison production facility of national level significance. This book is the only firsthand account of these essential Unconventional Warfare operations, written by an operator who was there. In addition to describing these historically significant Special Operations missions, "One Green Beret" also details a 15-year career in the Green Berets that includes many unique experiences, such as joint operations alongside Russian Spetznaz on the northern border of Kosovo, and postwar operations in Bosnia embedded deeply with the locals. Mark Giaconia questions everything, and provides a VERY humble, sobering, and human perspective on war, military service, and strategic considerations. One Green Beret is very inspiring, and conveys the author’s personal evolution from gunslinger to educated computer scientist; a true tale of “post traumatic growth.” https://www.amazon.com/One-Green-Beret-Extraordinary-1996-2011-ebook/dp/B07D1V9XRL Today's Sponsors: 👇 A-TAC FITNESS (Veteran owned and operated) https://www.ATACFITNESS.com Use the promo code "TEAM10" for 10% off!

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.
