IN AUG 2018 US Forces and Afghan partner forces were ordered to retake Ghazni from the Taliban. The details are described in an AUG 23, 2018 in TIME Magazine in an article entitled "Inside the US Fight to save Ghazni From the Taliban".

Nate is an 18D and Gavin is a PJ who supported ODA 1333. They discuss details of the mission and the medicine. There were over 40 casualties over the duration of the fighting with several MCIs.

Ret. CMSgt Doug Isaacks had a full career as a PJ and served twice as the Commandant for INDOC. He made significant strides in optimizing and modernizing training and selection.

This is a wonderful, heartfelt and enlightening discussion with a thoughtful leader on his reflections of being the Commandant of INDOC, and the challenges of running assessment and selection for a critical career field.

We hope this inspires PJs to consider tours in the pipeline because of the absolute importance of training our next generation of operators. And also impress upon young operators the gravity of these leadership roles, and to aspire to greatness in operations and leadership!

THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE
