SSgt Tony Musselman was a United States Marine JTAC and Hearth Help Man that labored with fifth ANGLICO, 2D Battalion tenth Marine Regiment, 2nd Battalion sixth Marine Regiment and Marine Raider Regiment.
Musselman deployed to Iraq with fifth ANGLICO earlier than heading to 2/10 the place he was chosen to go to Tactical Air Management Celebration college to earn his Joint Terminal Assault Controller certification. Instantly following TACP college, Musselman was tapped as a fight substitute for Jason Calo. Calo was one other 2/10 JTAC that had been killed in motion whereas collaborating in Operation Moshtarak with 2/6. Following that deployment, Musselman was recruited to the Marine Raider Regiment to work as a JTAC on their particular operations groups.
Musselman would conduct two deployments to Afghanistan with the Marine Raiders. On his first deployment, his staff performed village stability operations and on his second deployment, his staff was tasked with conducting direct motion raids. We wrap up the interview discussing psychological well being and a few of the points Musselman handled following his a number of fight deployments.
I’ve actually been wanting ahead to this interview and am excited to listen to about Tony’s full profession.
