Leadership in THE WORST of situations... #navyseals #US #navy #leadership #highperformance

So there's one story about my friend, former teammate, Lt. Jason Redmond. It was 2007. SEAL Team 10 was on their last week of deployment, and intelligence came down the pipeline that one of the specific Al Qaeda leaders they've been hunting this entire six month deployment was going to be in a specific location in central Ramadi. They hit this target, and as often happens, the bad guys had left already. Long story short, they walked right into a preplanned ambush. Enemy and bunker positions, heavy machine gun, and all hell broke loose. Jason himself got hit seven times in the face, neck, chest, arms, legs. But yet, continue to lead. Medevac helicopter comes in. Jason walks unaccompanied to the medevac helicopter. His arm was dangling by a tendon at the elbow and he was getting a headcount. He was checking in with his guys to making sure they're doing all right.
