Jeff Schloesser -Retired Army Major General, Author of "Marathon War"

Jeff Schloesser is a retired Army Major General. Born into an Army family he didn’t know if enlisting in the Army would become a career, but it did after serving thirty-four years.  His career has taken him across the globe with his wife and two children. He commanded the 101st Airborne Division for thirty-three months. It was this command, specifically the fourteen months in combat,  that had an instrumental impact on his leadership and understanding of the Afghanistan War. He started journaling his daily tasks and takeaways and knew they needed to be shared.  He wrote Marathon War: Leadership in Combat in Afghanistan, that was published earlier this year.
