This was written by my Battalion Commander about our deployment to Somalia in 93. It's a long read but very worth it. The October 3&4 mission he talks about in this article is the mission the movie "Blackhawk Down" was made about. It was written awhile ago, but I haven't seen it before. Very good read on leadership. Even though it's about leading a infantry unit, a lot of it will be useful for any kind of leadership. It also breaks down all our QRF missions. Hope you enjoy it.
