In the present day now we have a captivating Fight Story from Matt Stevens, a Troop and Squadron Commander in Naval Particular Warfare Improvement Group or DEVGRU, the unit many know from the Bin Laden raid and the Captain Phillips rescue.
After excursions with SEAL Groups 4 and eight and one rotation with a SEAL Supply Car (SDV) unit, Matt efficiently assessed for and was accepted into DEVGRU. He and his Troop deployed to Afghanistan instantly following 9/11 and supported efforts within the south of the nation, on the “giving finish” of issues as Matt so aptly describes it.
Matt was, sadly, intimately concerned within the aftermath of Operation Crimson Wings in 2005 whereas serving as a DEVGRU Squadron Commander that included all of the tactical and political challenges that include that management function.
In the present day, Matt is the CEO of The Honor Basis, a non-profit that helps elite warriors like himself efficiently transition out of the army and right into a civilian profession. A part of the method for veterans in this system is find out how to handle your id post-military, which so many people battle with, and Matt shares among the techniques the Honor Basis makes use of to assist on this effort.
I hope you take pleasure in this entrance row seat to tales from a frontrunner in one of many elite Tier 1 components of our army as a lot as I did.
