I never thought that I would write a post like this, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous and I just can’t help myself. With the recent reports coming out of Washington that women will be trained as Army Rangers and Navy Seals as early as 2016, there are valid and ridiculous views being stated all over social […]
I was recently contacted by one of the SOFREP Team Room members via e-mail, informing me that he was located in Kingsland, Texas and wanted to know if I would be able to help them out with a little shooting instruction for a short class. The e-mail also stated that they would like a basic […]
When comparing myself to other men in Ranger Battalion, I never labelled myself as the strongest or the fastest. I was and am an endurance-minded individual. I have always enjoyed running, but thanks to the men in Batt, I was able to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the physically well rounded soldier. One […]
With all the hype in regards to North Korea, it’s only necessary to have a discussion about how our special operations forces (SOF) would perform in the region if things actually did go south. While my background is specifically within the Army Special Operations Command, I can shed some light as to how our SOF units would […]
As many soldiers have experienced, a trip to Iraq or Afghanistan can seem quite exhausting. In Ranger Battalion, we at least had the benefit of flying in a C-17, and could sleep on the floor once we hit cruising altitude. I felt sorry for the rest of the military that had to fly in commercial jets – confined to […]
I recently returned back to the states working with various special operation snipers in Finland. My time there was spent instructing the units on sniper theory, tactics, precision, counter sniper, and HELO operations. When arriving in the Helsinki capital, one thing came to my immediate attention, the extremely cold weather! Living in south Texas for […]
It’s hard to describe to you SOFREP readers how much of a rare find any pictures of the 75th’s Regimental Reconnaissance Company (RRC/RRD) would be. There are not many of these guys, they are not followed around by cameramen, and they certainly don’t take many pictures and post then on the internet. A friend came […]
The media circuit has been going crazy following yesterday’s accusation by the Afghan government that United States special operations forces (reported as “Special Forces” by media outlets) have gone rogue in Afghanistan’s Wardak province and are torturing and murdering innocent civilians. The accusation was immediately followed by a presidential order from Hamid Karzai himself demanding […]
“Wrap it up boys, we’re moving!” shouted one of the leaders on the ground. “P” had grabbed up Kopps’ assault bag full of ammo and took up a position in front of me. The men from Kopps’ machine gun squad proceeded to carry him out. With two tourniquets wrenched tightly on his upper thigh, still […]
It was now day five for our Sniper/Recon team, which consisted of me (sniper), “P” as my spotter, and four reconnaissance Rangers. We had been gathering intelligence and tracking a high-value target behind enemy lines in southern Afghanistan for the past four days. With the intel we had gathered, we sent up our reports to an assault […]
On February 11th 1943, Darby’s 1st Battalion Rangers conducted their first night raid of WWII on a rail town in Southern Tunisia called Sened Station. They did not have the technology or weapons that modern-day Rangers are blessed with, but their willingness, tactical knowledge, and mastery of the night was very similar to the Rangers […]
There is a certain location in Iraq that many in the SOF community know. This particular place has a pool in every backyard and marble floors. The three story complex that housed up to 50 Rangers also had other amenities, such as a sand volleyball court, horseshoes, diving board, and yes, a zip-line that went from […]
