A young Marine recon sniper navigates the harrowing complexities of unconventional warfare in Iraq post-2006.
In 2006, the shock and awe campaign of securing the major cities had ended, and the Iraq War had moved into an alien phase for the operators of Black Flag One. With their motto “swift, silent, deadly,” the Marine operators of 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion were trained for unconventional warfare. Tasked with holding and securing swathes of the country, they faced insurgents who were adapting their tactics to use IEDs. Every disturbed patch of dirt, every piece of rubbish, every civilian acting oddly could mean instant death.
Into this cauldron of hate came young Marine recon sniper Brennan Morton. His immersive, honest memoir takes the reader through selection and training, the first patrol sweeping for caches, endless night watches, and deadly IED attacks.
