Today we hear a Combat Story from the very tip of the spear from “Dutch” Chris Moyer, a long-time special operator who spent 14 years in Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in addition to years at 1/75 Ranger Battalion, and CIA's Global Response Staff (GRS). Dutch walks us through a very open and honest approach to what it's like operating in the elite ranks for so long, including the pressure, brotherhood, and chaos. He doesn't shy away from sharing where he felt he fell short, and how, even after decades of service he still felt like he had more to give. He saw combat in multiple theaters in the pre-and post-9/11 era, fighting at the same time as and friends with many of the former Tier 1 operators we've heard on this show. Be sure to stick through to the end where we hear Dutch describe his own “Mr. Goodbar” story (if you don't know about Mr. Goodbar, check out Episode 30) where Dutch ends up in a room one on one having to fight none other than John “Shrek” McPhee (from Episode 25 https://youtu.be/6hvQj06fQUQ). It's hilarious. Dutch now runs DCM Consulting where he teaches military, government, and civilians how to apply the skills he learned in the Tier 1 community from shooting to CQB to leadership. In fact, when I reached out to Dutch I had to leave him a message and his voicemail was one of the best I've ever heard and said something like “You've reached Dutch, I can't take your call because I'm out on the range shooting, teaching CQB, or doing some other cool shit right now…” I hope you enjoy this incredible peak behind the curtain of what it's like in one of the most elite units in our military. The video is all about Delta Force Sergeant Major, Dutch Moyer.

He has taken part in over 1,000 successful combat assaults in classified & unclassified missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. He found that the Army in the 1980s was not what he had hoped. After a five-year break, he returned. This time he “Wanted to be in the worst possible places with the best possible people.” He became an Army Ranger and spent the last 14 years of his career with the elite Joint Special Operations Command. JSOC was created after the disastrous “Desert One” mission.

Today we have a special Combat Story that takes us from commanding in bloody fighting in Vietnam to some of the seminal moments in our military's Special Operations history, all courtesy of retired colonel Keith Nightingale.Keith served two tours in Vietnam, one as an adviser to the Vietnamese where he learned jungle warfare from one of the most interesting and lethal characters in country, followed by taking command of an infantry company in the 101st that had just been wiped out, literally, hours earlier. Keith was a founding member of the 1st Ranger Battalion when it was created by Gen Creighton Abrams in 1974-later commanding both that battalion and the Ranger brigade. He then gives us a fly on the wall perspective of the Desert One catastrophe and the subsequent birth and creation of what we know today as JSOC, to include why we have DIA, 160th, Delta and more. We even touch on Keith's time as the DoD lead tracking down none other than the Drug Kingpin Pablo Escobar.Keith has gone on to write three books, “Just Another Day in Vietnam”, “Phoenix Rising: From the Ashes of Desert One to the Rebirth of U.S. Special Operations,” and “A Soldier Looks Back: Memories and Reflections of a Combat Veteran, from Normandy to Afghanistan.” This was a memorable Combat Story that gives us a look inside some of the most significant moments that created the modern US military we all know and love today.Find Keith Onine:-Facebook Col Keith Nightingale https://www.facebook.com/ColKeithNightingale-Keith's books https://www.amazon.com/Keith-Nightingale/e/B016H5SV66%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share Ryan Online InformationFind Ryan Online: - Ryan's Linktree https://linktr.ee/combatstory- Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/combatstory/- Instagram @combatstory https://www.instagram.com/combatstory- Facebook @combatstoryofficial https://fb.me/combatstoryofficial- Send us messages at https://m.me/combatstoryofficial- Email ryan@combatstory.com- Learn more about Ryan www.combatstory.com/aboutus- Intro Song: Sport Rock from Audio Jungle0:00 - Intro 0:45 - Guest Introduction (Keith Nightingale) 2:17 - Interview begins 2:40 - What he did in the army3:24 - how the military was “in his DNA” and being the first officer in the family that served as a career 7:30 - Getting orders to go to Vietnam and the most influential person in helping become a battlefield leader 18:10 - Combat Story #1 - first contact in Vietnam 24:59 - A “karmic” approach to combat learned in Vietnam 26:57 - Combat Story #2 - a long night in Vietnam 36:03 - Going back to Vietnam with Delta company 43:14 - An intense training in leadership 46:27 - Combat Story #3 - First time in the field with Delta and his leadership strategy for low morale 56:43 - The founding of JSOC and 1st Ranger Battalion 1:05:43 - Combat Story #4 - Operation Eagle Claw 1:32:57 - Tracking down Pablo Escobar 1:40:42 - What did you carry into combat?1:41:54 - Would you do it again?1:42:53 - Listener comments and shout outs

06JUN1944:  Leading what many thought to be a suicide mission, LTC James Rudder and the men of the 2nd Ranger Battalion headed towards Pointe Du Hoc.  Allied planners expected a battery of 155mm cannons to sit atop the pointe, able to range the American beaches at Omaha and Utah.  It had to be taken out. Realizing they were headed to the wrong cliffs, LTC Rudder changed course but the delay would mean their coming ashore late.  Not only did that give the German defenders time to regroup after the naval bombardment but it also meant the reinforcements wouldn't be signaled in time and would instead head to Omaha beach.  Rudder and his 225 men were on their own. Firing their rope ladders and grappling hooks over the cliffs edge, the waterlogged mean began to climb.  Under fire, they pressed on until reaching the top of the 100' cliffs.  Backs to the wall, they pushed forward, clearing enemy positions at close range. At this point, Rudder realized the guns had been moved and in their place, sat telephone poles.  As they set in their defense, a few Rangers pushed out.  They found the guns just a short ways inland and quickly destroyed them before linking back up with Rudder and the main force The Rangers would be counterattacked multiple times over the coming hours but would valiantly hold on until reinforcements arrived on June 8th.  By that point, they had suffered over 75% casualties with fewer than 100 men able to continue the fight. For his leadership in this impossible task, LTC James Rudder was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.  

06JUN1944: Tasked with clearing German defenses in the Charlie Sector of Omaha Beach, CPT Ralph Goranson and C Company of the 2nd Ranger BN headed to shore.  Told by LTC James Rudder that his was the toughest job on the whole beach, Goranson had a decision to make. If Dog Green was cleared, he would move up the Vierville draw and loop west to attack the German defenses before linking up with the Rangers at Point du hoc.  If that sector wasn't cleared, he would be forced to scale the cliffs overlooking Charlie sector. With Dog Green still heavily contested, Goranson and his men took to the cliffs, reaching the beach at 0645.  The two LCA's carried 68 Rangers and they came under fire as soon as they landed.  His unit already reduced to about 30 fighting men, Goranson directed his men to climb the nearly 100 foot cliffs.  As the first reached the top, they right away began their attack as more and more Rangers followed behind. Recognizing the damage WN 73 was causing on Omaha, Goranson made the decision to attack east rather than west towards his fellow Rangers.  Goranson found a fortified house that was hammering the beach.  He led his men in clearing the house and surrounding trenches.  Eventually they were joined by men from the 29th Infantry Division who had come ashore at Dog Green. For his heroic actions that day in helping to open the Dog Green sector, CPT Ralph Goranson would be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
