In this powerful episode of The HOTWASH, host Bruno Fallon sits down with retired Army Major General Pete Gallagher, a 35-year signal officer who spent most of his career as the largely unsung backbone of Joint Special Operations Command communications. From walking into the unit the day after Black Hawk Down and immediately becoming Randy Shughart’s casualty assistance officer, to commanding JSOC’s elite Joint Communications Unit on 9/11, wiring the first raids into Afghanistan from the USS Kitty Hawk, surviving a catastrophic undersea cable cut that knocked out 95% of CENTCOM’s bandwidth in 2008, and later leading the Army’s network modernization for the near-peer fight, Gallagher pulls back the curtain on the invisible enablers who kept the task force connected through every surge night in Iraq and Afghanistan. The conversation is equal parts war stories, leadership lessons, and a sobering look at today’s drone-swarm and electronic-warfare threats, all delivered with the quiet humility of a two-star who still believes the real heroes were the ones kicking doors while he made sure their radios never went dark.
