At FOB Harrier in Helmand, Brooke Tanner was “just logistics”—counting ammo, tracking manifests, and staying invisible to the combat teams. She joined for stability and a way out of Montana.
Her life changed during Operation Valkyrie when a transport helicopter crashed. SEAL sniper Nate Kincaid was down, pinned, and Brooke was the only one who could stop the enemy. Guided by her training with Master Sergeant Hank Dorsey and support from medic Eli Navarro, she took precise shots that neutralized the threats and saved her team.
Afterward, Brooke returned to her logistics duties—but nothing was the same. The clerk who once went unnoticed had proven herself on the battlefield, carrying the weight of lives saved and the “unwavering grace” of a true warrior.
