    Chapter 15: The Long Thread of Fidelity
    Nov 28 2025

    This episode pulls together the long wars and the quiet missions that followed. It starts in Anbar and along the Syrian border, with Lioness teams at checkpoints, battalions fighting through al Qaim and Ramadi, and tribes turning against Al Qaeda. From there it tracks how Iraq shifted from brutal street fighting to fragile calm, only to see ISIS rise out of the same ground a few years later.

    The story widens to Afghanistan's hidden record in the Afghanistan Papers, then follows Marines into humanitarian work in Liberia, Haiti, the Indian Ocean, the Philippines, and Nepal, where ships become lifelines instead of launchpads. Libya, Benghazi, and the ISIS war show how quickly combat can return.

    The chapter closes on the future of the Corps, from Force Design debates to the simple ideas that have outlasted every reorganization.

  • Chapter 14: Beyond the Euphrates

    Chapter 14: Beyond the Euphrates
    Nov 27 2025
    The surge years in Afghanistan sit at the center of this episode. We start in Marjah and Sangin, where canals, poppy fields, and mud walls turned into kill zones. The story follows the grinding losses of the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and the slow shift from clearing ground to advising Afghan units. It ends at Kabul's airport in 2021, with Marines holding Abbey Gate as the war comes apart around them.

    From there, the chapter turns west, back to where this generation first learned to fight. The invasion of Iraq, the drive on Baghdad, An Nasiriyah's Ambush Alley, and the twin battles of Fallujah show Marines learning urban war along the Euphrates. Together, Helmand and Iraq become one story, a long arc of patrol bases, city fights, and withdrawals that never feel like closure.

  • Chapter 13: The Long War

    Chapter 13: The Long War
    Nov 26 2025

    The Cold War ended, but crises kept coming. This episode opens in the Balkans, where Yugoslavia's breakup pulls Marines into a different mission. Offshore in the Adriatic, they fly strikes, launch rescues, and put infantry ashore as refugee camps, no-fly zones, and patrols blur the line between war and relief. From there, the story follows deployments to Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Albania, and East Timor, where Marines secure embassies, evacuate civilians, and support coalitions trying to hold together collapsing states.

    Then 9/11 hits, and the long war begins. Task Force 58 pushes hundreds of miles inland to seize Rhino and Kandahar, proving sea-based Marines can operate inside a landlocked country. The chapter ends in Helmand, in places like Garmsir, Now Zad, and the Ganjgal Valley, where patrol bases, IEDs, and hard lessons define a war with no clean finish.
