Objective Ares was the codename for a night raid carried out on October 6, 2013, in Zhari district, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The mission involved U.S. Army Rangers from 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, supported by enablers including a Cultural Support Team (CST) and a CID special agent. Their target was a Taliban attack-network leader, part of a broader counterterrorism effort in southern Afghanistan. The operation quickly turned deadly when multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) detonated around the assault force. The blasts struck as Rangers and CST members rushed forward to treat wounded comrades, turning the objective into a mass-casualty event.

Among those killed was Capt. Jennifer Moreno, a nurse attached to the CST, who ran into the blast zone to aid a fallen Ranger. She died alongside Sgt. Patrick Hawkins, Pfc. Cody Patterson, and Special Agent Joseph Peters, with several other Rangers wounded. The tragedy at Objective Ares has become emblematic of the risks faced by both male and female operators at the tip of the spear. As highlighted in the documentary Guerrera, the raid underscored both the sacrifice of CST members and the integration of women in frontline combat roles, marking a pivotal moment in the history of U.S. special operations.

The Special Operations Association ( www.specialoperations.org ) is a little known 501(c)(3) organization that has been around since the 1970’s. The organization was originally founded by members of MACV-SOG and has continued to be mainly comprised of members of SOG or those who supported their missions during the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, as time passes we are losing more and more members of this great organization. Unless those of our younger SOF generations step up to carry the torch all of the knowledge, lessons learned and experience will be lost to time.

I encourage everyone who has served in SOF or supported special operations to go to the SOA website above and apply for membership. If you’re still reading this and haven’t served in SOF you can still help by sharing information about the organization.

Looking forward to getting a break from the stress and chaos of running an excavating company, to the peace and solitude of shuffling around orange groves in Florida, loaded down with 50lb of kit for 24 miles. It’s good for the soul. Maybe loose a few toenails, get to shoot my guns. Push yourself even when you haven’t properly prepared, because that’s where you will find what you are made of.

Right around the time I was retiring we brought JK into the unit to give him a glimpse behind the curtain. He ended up creating 3 separate prints for us that are amazing. If you’re looking to commission some work for your unit/department or just want something for your personal collection check him out.
