In this episode, I interview Chris Brewer, a U.S. Army veteran who helped reactivate the 1st Ranger Battalion in the 1970s.
Chris shares insights from his 24-year career, including leadership lessons, the evolution of the Rangers, and the ethos of “Rangers Lead The Way.”
He discusses his transition to civilian life, post-9/11 security work, and his authorship preserving Ranger and Special Forces history.
The episode offers a rare, in-depth look at elite military culture, operational challenges, and the enduring legacy of America’s special operations forces.
