While […]

What really happened to ODA 3212 in Niger?

October 17, 2017 by Jack Murphy

When many Americans woke up one morning in October to discover that two US Special Forces soldiers and one support soldier were killed in an ambush in Niger, they were incredulous.  Why are American troops in Niger?  How is Niger important to the United States strategically?  How could our highly trained Special Forces soldiers be killed […]

An obscure but revealing novel about Delta Force

September 18, 2017 by Jack Murphy

Because of this, we end up with a slew of ghost-written mish-mashes of fictional memoirs and non-fictional novels. However, a relatively […]

August 3, 2017 by Jack Murphy

A declassified document provides background information about the Intelligence Support Activity (ISA), a little known intelligence gathering unit that collects tactical intel for Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and other Special Operations units.  While units like SEAL Team Six hog the headlines, smaller compartmentalized organizations slide below the radar.

No better team mate, James Hupp

July 31, 2017 by Jack Murphy

Through the green tint of my night vision goggles, I watched the urban sprawl of Mosul speed beneath my feet, my legs dangling outside the door of a MH-60 Blackhawk helicopter.  To my left sat fellow Green Beret James Hupp, both of us anticipating our arrival at the landing zone.  Behind us, the helicopter was […]
