Episode 47: Kyle Buckett
Tonight's guest is my good friend and one of my mentors Kyle Buckett. Kyle, or "Buck," as I know him, served a career in the US Navy, most of which was as a Navy SEAL. Buck served with various west coast-based SEAL Teams, including as a plank owner — or founding member — of Special Activities One (now called Special Reconnaissance Team One), a unique intelligence unit that helped bring the SEALs' mission success rate from just 35% to over 96% in a four year period.
Episode 47 History Highlights:
1). US Navy before the SEALs and witnessing 9/11 while overseas.
2). BUD/S and class gifts.
3). SEAL Team 1 in Baghdad and helping stabilize Iraq to allow women to vote in the country’s first democratic election.
4). Plank owner of a unique military start-up and intelligence unit.
5). The various mission dynamics of different GWOT deployments to the Philippines and the Middle East.
6). Big picture strategy; plus a story about the cover of Time Magazine’s “What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan” featuring Afghan Bibi Aisha.
7). Village Stability Operations in Afghanistan.
8). Tactical leader of a major clearing operation that ended with divine intervention.
9). Behind-the-scenes insight and history about the military construction project to relocate the west coast-based SEAL Teams from Coronado to Imperial Beach.
