Get your Challenge Coin! https://train.americanwarriorsociety.com/home   On today's American Warrior Show, we will be joined by T.C. Fuller & Reudi Kaspar. We will discuss Operation Eagle Claw on the 45th anniversary. We will discuss its causes, execution, and lessons learned. JOIN US!   Operation Eagle Claw was a U.S. military mission conducted on April 24-25, 1980, aimed at rescuing 53 American hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran during the Iran hostage crisis. The operation emerged from President Carter’s growing frustration with the inability to secure the hostages' release through diplomatic channels. Executed by the fledgling Delta Force, the mission faced significant challenges, including mechanical failures, adverse weather at Desert One, and poor planning. Ultimately, the mission was aborted, leading to the deaths of eight servicemen. Key lessons learned included the need for improved intelligence, contingency planning, and enhanced coordination in special operations.   American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/

On today's show, we will be joined by Josh Froelich and will discuss his approach to guns, gear and training for the sport of Practical Competition Shooting League. Josh recently shot the nationals and breaks down his ups and downs in this raw show.

Visit Josh's Website

Brief Bio: Josh’s journey into action shooting began on a quiet trip to the local gun shop, when he heard one of the employees mention an IDPA match scheduled that weekend. He gave it a shot and hasn’t looked back since. He soon took on the added challenges of USPSA competition, becoming hooked on the faster shooting, higher-round-count stages and more strategic problem solving. This eventually led to 3-gun, which is now his primary focus. Josh currently holds National and World Championship titles in 3 Gun Nation, Lucas Oil Shotgun and IPSC World Shotgun and is an avid USPSA, Action Shotgun and 3 Gun Competitor. Outside of his shooting career he is a sales professional and devoted family man.

In this American Warrior Show episode, multiple time national and world champion Max Michel walks us through a full World Shoot training plan, starting today.  I gave no pre-question to Max before the show and after a brief introduction we jump right in.

Max has an incredibly deep background in practical shooting as well as applying the skills he has honed over the years as a pro in his instructional role to Law Enforcement and the U.S. Military.   This discussion includes a great deal of information and concepts that the average or elite level shooter can assimilate and apply in thier own skill development.  

This is an incredible show!  Read more in his bio below:

During his 10 year US Army career, Staff Sergeant Michel’s duties included serving as the Military Coach of the Action Pistol Team. He was also responsible through his training programs for insuring the combat readiness of soldiers fighting the Global War on Terrorism.
