Delta Force Operator and CIA Officer | Gary Harrington (throwback episode)
original airdate - 3/13/23I spent most of my career working in the shadows. While some of my service was spent with large groups, such as the 32nd Marine Amphibious Unit, serving in Beirut in 1982, I spent most of my career working on small teams or alone. We often lived and worked with foreign military units like a Kuwaiti tank unit in the northern desert in 1996. In 1998, I worked alone in Yemen. Trouble spots on my own became my specialty. After 9/11, I launched to Uzbekistan in the vanguard for 5th Special Forces Group and served on several teams in Afghanistan during 2001 and 2002, participating in major combat operations alongside Afghan indigenous forces. Often, my mission was to enter a country to determine if other special operations forces could safely follow and operate. If so, I would develop the situation and make ready for them to arrive. In 2002, after departing Afghanistan, I moved to a mid-Eastern location to prepare the way for the next conflict. Working independently and conducting successful, often classified missions on several continents taught me the power of prudence…and the skills that must accompany it.Find Gary here:⬇️https://powerofprudence.com/To help support the show and for all bonus content including:-AD FREE AUDIO-AD FREE VIDEO-Access to ALL bonus segments with our guestsSubscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️ https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse GhostBed⬇️https://www.ghostbed.com/houseFOR 10% off! 0:00 - Intro00:51 - Origin story7:01 - USMC16:10 - FBI recruitment 18:05 - Enlisting in Special Forces 21:49 - 7th Group SF25:00 - Hearing about Delta Force27:22 - Delta Selection & OTC34:00 - Invitation to leave & the aftermath in the Army41:03 - Highly Qualified 43:38 - 5th SF Group1:06:40 - Picked to work in a classified cell in 5th Group1:08:22 - 9/11 & getting ready for the GWOT1:14:50 - Setting the stage in Uzbekistan1:23:10 - Infilling to Bagram and Tora Bora 1:34:00 - Bin Laden getting away1:50:00 - Standing up FOB Orgun 2:09:47 - AFO in Iraq2:13:45 - Making the jump from Army to the CIA & CIA ops 2:37:39 - Viewer questionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
