Join our weekly Combat Check-In Newsletter (www.combatstory.com/newsletter) to get a short email from Ryan for people who love and support our veterans, service members, and their families. It has info on a significant event in military and/or intel history, a funny military joke, an update on a current event I'm following, something I'm doing that week in my life, a book I'm reading, a look at an upcoming interview, a reflection on a past episode and more!
Today we hear the Combat Story of a long-time Green Beret,
combat veteran, and retired Sergeant Major Josh Johnson.
Josh spent multiple years downrange in Iraq and Afghanistan, many
with 1st Special Forces Group, in combat where he led from the
front but also spent years teaching other Green Berets and partner
forces.

Josh was selected as an Exchange Officer to the Australian Special
Air Services Regiment where he trained and fought alongside our
very close Australian brethren. In his last two years of service,
Josh focused specifically on leadership development and
training.
Since leaving the service, Josh has continued training and
developing leaders, this time with Mike Sarraille’s Talent War
Group where Josh is a Partner and Senior VP of Leadership
Development.
I hope you enjoy this interesting and wide-ranging Combat Story as
much as I did.
