This workout is dedicated to Marc Alan Lee, the first SEAL to be killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom on August 2, 2006, when he was killed in a fierce firefight while on patrol against insurgents in Ramadi.
Ryan “Biggles” Job, a fellow SEAL Team 3 member, was critically injured by a sniper, and Lee provided cover fire while other team members prepared Job for medical evacuation. After Job was evacuated, the team re-engaged the enemy force. Lee was mortally wounded when he exposed himself a third time to draw fire from enemy forces away from his teammates.
Lee was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star Medal with Valor, and the Purple Heart for his actions on the battlefield. The Marc A. Lee Training Center building at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado was dedicated on March 20, 2013.
This workout was designed by JP Dinnell @jpdinnell, who served with Marc Lee, and Jocko Willink @jockowillink.
