I am saddened to report that MG Gary L Harrell, (USA, Ret) passed away this morning while surrounded by family.
In this photo, he was commander of C Sq, 1st SFOD-D during operation Gothic Serpent. For an extensive biography, visit TaskForceDagger.org.
“If it was complex, if it was difficult or critical to our nation, Gary was there,”
-LTG Robert Wagner, the commander of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, said during MG Gary Harrell’s retirement ceremony.
I didn’t meet him until after he retired but he brought a lot to every endeavor he undertook.
He was a fine man and respected leader. He will be missed.
May He Rest In Peace.
I had the privilege of working for, and closely with, Gary Harrell during the early days of GWOT. A great American by any measure. DOL Sir!
