SilencerCo Celebrates The American Dream With Release of Latest American Gun Episode
November 18th, 2021November 17, 2021 — West Valley City, UT — SilencerCo is excited to release episode five of the American Gun series, “American Gun: The Immigrant.” This video features Dahl, an American immigrant who was born and raised in Dominica, a small island in the Caribbean. Dahl’s story illustrates why the American Dream is not dead, and why the second amendment offers a freedom unlike anything else.
Dahl came to America when he was 25 years old on a path to citizenship through the U.S. Navy. Previously, he lived in other countries all around the world. The one thing that kept him from staying in any of these countries was his inability to participate in his favorite hobby: shooting guns.
“One thing I like about the US is you can be armed. The second amendment guarantees that you have that ability which is incomparable with any [other] country you go to,” said Dahl.
Now, as an American citizen, Dahl enjoys all of these freedoms and shares them with the people he loves. Although he and his brother are separated by a large age-gap, recreational shooting bridges that gap and creates a unique bond. Dahl also frequently invites other immigrant friends to join him in his hobby and teach them safety and tactical techniques.
This love of shooting is just one reason why the second amendment is so important. Previous “American Gun” episodes point out other reasons such as personal protection, craftsmanship and mental health.
Episode five marks the end of the first half of the “American Gun” project and videos can be found on the SilencerCo YouTube channel. The second half of the project will commence in early 2022.

The US Army Releases A Two Volume Book About Operation Enduring Freedom
November 18th, 2021WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army Center of Military History released Modern War in an Ancient Land: The United States Army in Afghanistan 2001–2014, a two-volume history, today.
These volumes, prepared by the Operation Enduring Freedom Study Group, present a first cut operational-level narrative of how the U.S. Army formed, trained, deployed, and employed its forces in Afghanistan from October 2001 to December 2014. At the same time, it delves into the tactical realm when such insights amplify the implications of operational decisions or occurrences.
To write this history, the study group, led by Edmund J. “E.J.” Degen, embarked on an extensive research program that relied heavily on primary source documents. The group also conducted dozens of oral history interviews with key military and civilian leaders. These volumes include fifty maps, a wide range of campaign photography and artwork, and volume-specific indexes.
The Army routinely conducts after action reviews of operations that capture lessons learned and are intended to help guide and inform future decisions by military leaders at all levels.
The process of researching, analyzing and writing the history can take several years, Degen noted that, “It’s important to capture these historical lessons as soon as we can as they may apply to future wars.”
As part of the Army’s continuous campaign of learning, CMH will write more in-depth histories of all aspects of the war in Afghanistan, including operations from 2015 to 2021, the evacuation of Kabul, and security force assistance.
The two-volume book set will be released as CMH Pub 59-1-1 and will be available in print, as an eBook, and as a free pdf download starting November 17, 2021. Access to these options are found at: history.army.mil/html/books/059/59-1
The general public can also purchase print copies of these volumes from the U.S. Government Publishing Office. bookstore.gpo.gov

San Tan Tactical, Makers of the STT-15 Rifle, Sign Laura Burgess Marketing
November 18th, 2021San Tan Tactical, manufacturers of the 100 percent ambidextrous AR platform, have signed Laura Burgess Marketing for public and writer relations.
Chandler, Ariz. (November 2021) – San Tan Tactical, an Arizona firearm design and manufacturing facility, has signed Laura Burgess Marketing (LBM) to provide public and writer relations for the all American-made 100 percent ambidextrous AR platform, uppers, lowers, and parts.
The San Tan Tactical STT-15 AR platform was designed out of necessity. As left-hand shooters themselves, the owners of San Tan Tactical decided that compromise was no longer an option. Southpaws deserved an AR-15/M4 rifle that did not require them to conform to right-hand shooting and was 100 percent ambidextrous.
“The STT-15 rifle is a direct result of American ingenuity and dedication to craft,” Jack Biegel, president of San Tan Tactical, said. “The rifle was designed to accommodate ALL shooters and made to perform flawlessly in any environment, including home defense, competition, hunting, and for our brothers and sisters in law enforcement and the Armed Forces. We look forward to letting more people know they have a choice when it comes to quality rifles, and especially those often neglected southpaws.”
“The population of left-hand shooters is growing and is currently about 12 percent of the world population. We are excited to help San Tan Tactical let the shooting community know there are choices for southpaws,” Laura Burgess, president of LBM, added. “We look forward to connecting with our industry media to promote this top-notch, American-made AR platform.”
LBM will help support press and writer relations, social media programs, as well as evaluate and strategize their upcoming 2022 advertising plans.
