183: Did He Find The First IED Of The War? From Iraq to Afghanistan, Four Combat Deployments With US Army Infantryman Morgan Sullivan
Today Sayre and Preston are joined by Morgan Sullivan. Morgan and Sayre crossed paths in the Infantry Officer Basic Course when they were both brand new second lieutenants. While Sayre was just starting his Army career, Morgan was a seasoned veteran that fellow students and cadre leaned on. Morgan joined the Army after the September 11, 2001 attacks and before long found himself with the 3rd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne headed to Iraq for the 2003 invasion. Before making the jump to the officer side, Morgan deployed to Iraq three times as an infantryman in a line company and with the scout platoon. After he and Sayre parted ways at Ft. Benning, Morgan headed off to the 2nd Infantry Division where he once more would deploy, this time to Afghanistan. Morgan is wrapping up his Army career and it was great to sit down and chat for a bit with someone whose impressive career spans the Global War on Terror.
