Mike was deployed persistently from 2001 to 2006 with the eighth SOS as essentially the most deployed Air Pressure particular operations squadron on the time. This included journeys to each Afghanistan and Iraq as each the plane know-how improved and bases in theater turn into extra fortified.
Within the MC-130, Mike was answerable for a wide range of mission units supporting, primarily, the particular operations neighborhood, together with DEVGRU as we hear on this episode. The MC-130 is designed to help the particular operations neighborhood with airdrops, supply and extraction of particular operators, refueling, fight search and rescue and a lot extra.
On this episode, we decide up the place we left off as Mike goes from the primary deployment post-9/11 into the following and extra established operational tempo going from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan to Kuwait to Iraq and again once more and I hope you get pleasure from this set of fight tales within the versatile MC-130 as a lot as I did.
