EP-196 | A Daring Combat Rescue - 4 Men Strapped to Apache's to Rescue Their Own

The story of three Royal Marines and one Royal Engineer strapped to two Apache Helicopters and dodging Taliban fire -- a daring rescue of one of their own.

The Apaches were nearly out of fuel before they lifted off on the rescue mission. Capt. Dave Rigg MC was the Royal Engineer who along with 3 Royal Marines helped rescue Lance Corporal Ford from a heavily fortified Taliban fort. This is a rescue story that will live in infamy.

Dave joined Robert Gowin and Scott Johnson on this episode to share first-hand what happened that day and the lessons learned.

Robert is a retired US Army Armor and Recruiter/Retention MSG turned Fortune 50 executive; Scott Johnson is a former British Army Royal Engineer and EOD tech.
