Zachary Schact served as an 0352 Anti-Tank Missileman with 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (1/8) as a member of the battalion's Combined Anti-Armor Team (CAAT). After finally completing infantry training, Zachary joined 1/8 just as the battalion was preparing for their 2021 deployment. Like many of his peers, he had to learn hard and fast in order to fulfill the missions expected of CAAT. When they reached their final destination in Kabul, Afghanistan however, things didn't work out quite how they expected.
