I ordered the US armed forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors back home.
A risky decision because we could have ended up with a hundred dead as opposed to one or two.
It's a hard decision to make, but in the United States military, we leave no American behind.
We don't do it.
>> No one left behind.
And the story of Dude44 Bravo, the weapon systems officer's journey employing his sear, his survival and evasion skills is remarkable.
Let's remember.
So he crashes near the Zagros mountains and of course he climbs 7,000 ft and you see the map of where he was evacuated.
But let's go through piece by piece because he evaded capture employing that SEIR training for nearly 48 hours.
The foundation of sear training is get far and high away from the crash of the plane and high enough to transmit that beacon.
He treated his own wounds.
That's significant because any pilot will tell you the ejection hitting 10 to 20 G's is violent at the least.
You can hurt yourself grievously.
He somehow was able to treat his wounds.
We know from the president he's bleeding and he climbs 7,000 feet.
He hid in a mountain crevice and activated that emergency beacon.
When he's hiding, he's getting behind rocks because of his heat signal.
Doesn't want to be picked up by the Iranians.
He has to lie very still while being injured.
And of course, the rescue mission. The package of this seesar is perhaps the largest we've ever seen. 155 aircraft.
Everything from the C130s down to the Little Birds in the Warthog Sandies providing close air support.
dude44 bravo armed only with a pistol.
Should the Iranians have found him, he only had a few shots to get away.
But that message, that first encrypted message he sent in burst to be picked up, encrypted on military satellites was God.
is good. And with that, let's bring in former Navy Seal and veteran podcaster Andy Stumpf.
Andy, this is nothing short of extraordinary.
What do you make of the successful search and rescue mission?
Yeah, first thanks for having me. Um, I think you covered the details pretty well and I'd say working it backwards.
I mean, obviously a tremendous success.
They were able to find somebody located in a denied country. They were able to get to that person, get them back to the United States, and uh, as the president was talking about in the video he showed at the beginning, it's kind of what it means to be an American.
means to be an American. We ask tremendous things of our American soldiers and knowing that we're willing to move just about heaven and earth to go get them, I think it helps them do their job at the end of the day.
>> And Andy, you understand better than most.
I tried to sort of when I was laying that out, explain just how violent ejecting from a jet would have been, and we know he was injured. walk us through really what he might what dude44 Bravo might have been dealing with when he began to climb 7,000 feet into a mountain crevice.
>> Yeah, I've never ejected from an aircraft either, but I have uh some friends who have and they did not describe it as an enjoyable experience.
Um, and I think what's important for people to remember that these are aviators, so they make their living largely at 20 30,000 feet.
So they have a very different optic on the world than my previous job where we were literally standing on the ground.
So I don't know what altitude he ejected at, but he went from an environment that he was totally in control of to an environment that he had no control of.
And you mentioned the SEIR training. Seir training is a micro school in comparison to what these aviators go through.
And it's a couple weeks long depending on what course they go to.
And it probably was years ago for this individual. So, he was thrown into this environment after a high-speed ejection um and then injured, forced to go find terrain that would not only provide for him concealment from the enemy, but an ability to be rescued.
I mean, I don't know of any other word to describe that other than a nightmare.
You were a member of SEAL team 6.
They are the tip of the spear, the tier one of the SEAL group, the dev group.
Talk to me about what they would have been doing in this mission.
So in a in a mission like this, this would be a combat search and rescue. If the individual is injured, I think the most important people likely on that package that needed to get to him first would have been the PJs, the pair of rescue jumpers.
From a J- Sock perspective, if you want to pull put a hole in something, then you probably need a J- Sock uh assaulter.
If you want to block a hole or stop bleeding, you need a PJ.
So I would say the main role likely of the J-C assaulter would have been to provide security um there in case there were people on the ground and to provide that extensive perimeter for the PJ to assess the individual, package
