In 2003, Army Cavalry Officer, 2nd Lieutenant Ross Berkoff, led his Scout Platoon from the 10th Mountain Division on more than 10,000 miles of reconnaissance missions over a nine-month period across the dangerous southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand--the birthplace of the Taliban.

Autor

Ross Berkoff served on active duty as an Armor and Military Intelligence officer from 2002 to 2009. After his time in the 10th Mountain Division, Ross served in the District of Columbia Army National Guard before transitioning to the private sector in 2007 to begin a second career as an industry leader in the government contracting defense and intelligence communities. Ross's two combat deployments earned him two Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals, and two Afghanistan Campaign Ribbons. He's most proud of 3-71 Cavalry's Meritorious Unit Commendation for waging "highly successful counterinsurgency operations against determined opponents in the most austere and rugged conditions in the world." Ross and his wife Rebekah reside in Chantilly, Virginia, where they are raising two incredible children, Eliana and Aaron.
