Military Times Early Bird brief 4 March 24: Navy leaders see power evolution with information warfare

via: USAF Special Warfare Recruiting · This Sunday’s Hero Story… The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to (then) Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman, United States Air Force, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. Technical Sergeant Chapman distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism as an Air Force Special Tactics Combat Controller of the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, attached to a Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Team conducting reconnaissance operations in Takur Ghar, Afghanistan, on 4 March 2002. During insertion, the team’s helicopter was ambushed causing a teammate to fall into an entrenched group of enemy combatants below. Sergeant Chapman and the team voluntarily reinserted onto the snow-capped mountain, into the heart of a known enemy stronghold to rescue one of their own. Without regard for his own safety, Sergeant Chapman immediately engaged, moving in the direction of the closest enemy position despite coming under heavy fire from multiple directions. He fearlessly charged an enemy bunker, up a steep incline in thigh-deep snow and into hostile fire, directly engaging the enemy. Upon reaching the bunker, Sergeant Chapman assaulted and cleared the position, killing all enemy occupants. With complete disregard for his own life, Sergeant Chapman deliberately moved from cover only 12 meters from the enemy, and exposed himself once again to attack a second bunker, from which an emplaced machine gun was firing on his team. During this assault from an exposed position directly in the line of intense fire, Sergeant Chapman was struck and injured by enemy fire. Despite severe, mortal wounds, he continued to fight relentlessly, sustaining a violent engagement with multiple enemy personnel before making the ultimate sacrifice. By his heroic actions and extraordinary valor, sacrificing his life for the lives of his teammates, Technical Sergeant Chapman upheld the highest traditions of military service and reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force. #medalofhonor #moh #neverforgotten #honor #courage #bravery #airforce #cct #combatcontroller #firstthere Air Force Special Operations Command Air Force Special Tactics

Christians, unlike gingerbread men, are not all cut with the same cookie cutter. Christians come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and cultures. But we are all cut from the same dough: Faith In Jesus! https://youtu.be/1TyLXShB9DU?si=NKQVCqoHHW7EVFqi

The 14-member crew engaged the enemy from overhead during a two-hour night-time operation that permitted two Black Hawk helicopters to land and evacuate the battered troops. By the end of the engagement, the gunship’s crew had destroyed all enemy machine gun, mortar, and rocket-propelled grenade positions. Grim 31’s crew was recognized with the 2002 MacKay Trophy for the most meritorious flight of the year.
