82. SPECIAL FORCES COMMANDER: HIS MOST INCREDIBLE MISSIONS (hostage rescues, death)

A Special Forces member for 20 years, “Stan” is now a commander, a former team leader, and Director of Operations at CPA10—the Air Force’s parachute commando unit. He shares his most striking memories with us: the capture of terrorist leaders in Afghanistan, the death of one of his men following a mission, and the horror of hostage crises like the one at the Splendid Hotel in Burkina Faso. His full story can be found in the book *Les Guerriers du 10*, published by Mareuil Éditions.
