Joe Clayburn is a U.S. Army infantry officer who rose from a turbulent childhood to command Charlie Company, 1st and 506th — the “Gunfighters” — during the brutal Ramadi 2005–2006 fight. He led his unit through daily firefights, IED strikes, and ambushes, while building the company into a highly effective combat force. After Ramadi, he was selected to lead the 101st Pathfinder Company and later served with the British Parachute Regiment. His career reflects intense frontline experience, high-stakes leadership, and a deep commitment to developing soldiers.
