In 2006, Jeremy Fox was a platoon leader deployed in Iraq, his platoon tasked for part of that deployment with providing security for an oil pipeline and associated infrastructure. Integrated with Iraqi Army soldiers, he spent many of his nights checking the lines and the security positions at his isolated position. During one such night, accompanied by his interpreter, a sudden incident forced him into quick action to save the interpreter. Fox joins this episode of The Spear to share the story.
