Delta Force Operator, Green Beret & CIA Officer | Gary Harrington | Ep. 226

by



Gary returns for round 2.
I spent most of my career working in the shadows. While some of my service was spent with large groups, such as the 32nd Marine Amphibious Unit, serving in Beirut in 1982, I spent most of my career working on small teams or alone. We often lived and worked with foreign military units like a Kuwaiti tank unit in the northern desert in 1996. In 1998, I worked alone in Yemen. Trouble spots on my own became my specialty. After 9/11, I launched to Uzbekistan in the vanguard for 5th Special Forces Group and served on several teams in Afghanistan during 2001 and 2002, participating in major combat operations alongside Afghan indigenous forces. Often, my mission was to enter a country to determine if other special operations forces could safely follow and operate. If so, I would develop the situation and make ready for them to arrive. In 2002, after departing Afghanistan, I moved to a mid-Eastern location to prepare the way for the next conflict. Working independently and conducting successful, often classified missions on several continents taught me the power of prudence…and the skills that must accompany it.

  3. That’s pretty cool he had a small role in the Colombia era hunting Pablo Escobar.. It’s pretty clear that (other) JSOC member he was working with was a Centra Spike SIGINT’er. @28:24

    Delta Force commander Jerry Boykin talks a little bit about this in his memoir “Never Surrender”.. Delta would use these high powered spotting scopes up In high grounds overlooking key areas of interest for relevant players of Escobar.. At the same time they were also monitoring the air waves for any phone calls or radios in an effort to help aid in triangulation with other teams listening in the area. Old school RDF

  5. The Hot Dog is a sandwich question was on the Justified TV show last week, not sure if that was where the question came from?

    The retirement of 4* on full base pay is just a result of the majority of 4* serving ~40 years. With 40×2.5% of base pay being 100%.

    There was a cap of 75% base pay in retirement that was removed in 2007/8 but that applied to all service members not just Generals.

    Obviously getting past 30 years in the US military is going to mean having rank whether enlisted / warrant or O.

  9. Jack you mentioned that the guy who shot Bin Laden has never gone public.

    He did go on The Shawn Ryan Show a year ago and spoke about it, his name is Rob O'Neill Episode 27 of that Podcast. He and Shawn did speak at length about him not wanting to go public for a long time, but did so to get the story out. Not sure if he's doing any other Podcasts/Shows, haven't seen him pop up elsewhere. Would be cool if you guys could get him on as well!

    Another great show, as always. I've been a long time fan of the show, thanks for what you're doing and keep up the great work!

    How is it that there were all of the massive shootings at K-12 schools, but not on four year college & university campuses? Just think about that for moment from all different angles. You do not have to be an FBI profiler, FBI agent, or a police detective to see there is something fundamentally wrong with that. 💯

  12. Glad you had Gary back. He comes across as a respectable man with a lot of wisdom and lessons learned to share with those willing to learn. Sounds like he's experienced a lot of growth throughout his life as well.
