In Cleared Hot – Revisited
Readers can learn about and listen to historic sounds of first-generation LAV-25s as Marines tackle training missions and gun range exercises; pushing the 275hp turbo-charged Detroit Diesels to red-line while the vehicles travel across the sands of Saudi Arabia and later into Kuwait. Hear weapon systems firing during practice and later in combat situations. Radio transmissions from Captain Roger “Rock” Pollard can be heard during the opening engagement of the Battle of Observation Post 4. Hear 25mm chain gun rounds erupting from vehicle #777 as Mikey Flores aka Red Dragon earns the distinguished Navy Commendation Medal with a Combat V device while at the controls of his personal cannon “The Judge” firing upon the enemy Iraqi tanks.

Included are the only recordings of Dion Stevenson, one of the Marines lost on Red 2 at the battle of OP4, as he and Mikey Flores perform songs of the times together. Additional audios at Camp Two allows readers/listeners to live amongst the Marines.

Learn about the Marines of Delta Company Reinforced, 3D LAI who during Desert Shield prepared for battle in the Saudi sands, became one of the greatest mechanized attack units of all times and sadly lost 11 Marine brothers in a fearsome tank battle at Observation Post 4. 26 US Marine Corps LAVs stood against a massive Iraqi tank force in a nighttime surprise attack. 12 hours later Delta, fighting furiously throughout the night and outnumbered 100 to 1, destroys much of the advancing enemy task force while the remaining enemy forces retreat from the battlefield.

In 100 Hours to Destiny
When Saddam Hussain directed his military to take over the oilfields of Kuwait the US Military was called in to push the rogue regime out and return the Emirate of Kuwait back to its people. Over 300,000 Iraqi troops and heavy weapons stood between the Marines and Kuwait City. Despite overwhelming odds stacked against these Marines and a dark prediction of an 80% causality rate going in, this story tells of an unexpected victory. Delta Company was honored to be the Tip of the Spear for the 1st Marine Division and Task Force Ripper, successfully carrying out the mission. This one of a kind story embeds readers with the courageous Marines of Delta Company during Desert Storm, while driving the tyrannical Saddam Hussain and his forces from Kuwait.
