I’m excited to introduce one of my good friends Jake Edwards to the Leaders Lead family. Jake is one of America's bravest heroes. Jake served as a United States Marine who was engaged in combat operations in the second battle of Fallujah which was one of the bloodiest battles in US history. This battle is known as some of the heaviest?urban combat U.S. Marines have been involved in since the Battle of Hue City in Vietnam in 1968.
His stories from the battlefield are sobering. His service is honorable.
In a very short time, Jake has become one of my favorite people. I am impressed by his leadership. During our time together in DC, I noticed Jake was keen on a particular trait. Jake is a servant through and through. When he is not training our future leaders to withstand attacks at schools, he volunteers his time by giving to the brothers and sisters that have served in the Armed forces of the United States of America. Jake is the real deal!
Let's talk more about Jake
Jake started his professional career in 2003 as a Combat Engineer in the United States Marine Corps. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and more specifically Operation Phantom Fury (Second Battle of Fallujah) in 2004 with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. He served with the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines in 2005 during OIF. He was honorably discharged as a Sergeant from the Marine Corps Reserves in?2009. In 2010, Jake was hired as a Contingency Skills Instructor to help support requirements for military troops deploying to hostile/austere environments.
In 2012, he transitioned to another training command and within one year rose to the ranks of Assistant Chief Instructor (filling an O-3 billet). There his training supported military advisors deploying to over 140 countries. The main course he supported was a rigorous six-week course that helped military advisors prepare for the challenges of language, region, culture, and field-craft skills needed to thrive in uncertain and hostile environments with limited support. Also, he was the lead instructor for active shooter/insider threat training for armed and unarmed deploying students. This was a vital position due to the green-on-blue threat with our host nation allies.
