—YODA IN THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

In 2004, security of elected leaders in Iraq was a major problem, and in the lexicon of “nation building,” it was a State Department job. State waived off on it, though, because they just couldn’t operate in the chaos and extremely high threat level of the combat zone. Instead, they handed the mission off to SEAL Team ONE under Commander W.

The commander and his team needed to break things quickly for this effort to succeed: It was one thing to marshal a VIP out of a danger zone, but it was another altogether to protect five elected officials of a foreign government 24/7 in the most dangerous place on earth. So how do you turn a static security detail designed to protect one person, one time, at one location into an aggressive, persistent mission dealing with multiple people and daily activities and threats? Well, ST-1 figured it out and had the mission up and running in sixty days. The concepts they employed to rapidly shift fire and learn the new skills form the basis of this chapter.
