Two days after the 187th jumped behind the North Korean army, the North Korean army ran into them.

20 October 1950. The Rakkasans of the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team jumped near Sukchon and Sunchon, north of Pyongyang. It was the first combat jump of the Korean War, and the first time the Army dropped howitzers and jeeps into combat. MacArthur flew in from Japan to watch.

The mission was to block the North Korean army retreating from Pyongyang.

It worked, and 3rd Battalion paid for it. On the 21st, near Yongju, North Korean troops fighting to escape north hit them head on. The fight went to close quarters, and the enemy got into the K Company command post.

On the morning of the 22nd, the battalion was still fighting, and help was coming up the road from the south.

THE GOLDEN HOUR 🕰️

In tactical medicine, our greatest enemy isn’t always the one standing across from us. Sometimes, it’s time itself.

Every second matters when a life hangs in the balance. From the first assessment to the final handoff, we’re fighting a race against the clock.

The Golden Hour isn’t just a concept taught in medicine.

It’s a reminder that every decision, every intervention, and every moment of hesitation can change someone’s outcome.

We don’t always get to choose when the clock starts. But we train relentlessly to be ready when it does.

Sharpening the spear. U.S. Army Rangers of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment demonstrate their elite capabilities during Task Force Training at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in August 2019. It is through this demanding preparation that Special Operations Forces maintain peak combat readiness. The National Ranger Memorial Foundation salutes their enduring dedication to the mission.

Today, we remember SSG Ben Ransom, who passed away three years ago on October 17, 2023, after a long, hard-fought battle with #Leukemia. 🧡

Ben served as an Infantryman for nearly a decade, completing three combat tours in Afghanistan and becoming an #Airborne jumpmaster. He gave so much of his young life to serving this country.

And there was so much more life he deserved to live.

If you knew Ben, you remember his smile. His sense of humor, his humility, and his ability to make you feel like you mattered. You remember the CrossFit workouts with @iron_forged, the encouragement he gave others, and the conversations over a shared meal that you wished could last a little longer.

He was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend. He adored his nieces and nephews. He loved punk rock, playing guitar and bass, and sharing music with @take_me2cali, who cared for him through his cancer battle and held his hand as he took his last breath.

These are the things we need to remember when we talk about military cancer. The person. The family. The life still being built. The decades they should have had together.

Our young men and women deserve better.

They deserve to have their concerns heard, their symptoms taken seriously, and their care prioritized. Being young, fit, and strong should never be a reason to dismiss the possibility that something is wrong.

Early detection needs to be a priority while there is still an opportunity to act. That means listening, investigating persistent symptoms, and making sure someone gets answers and timely care. We cannot keep waiting for another young service member’s death to remind us how much this matters.

We cannot rewrite Ben’s story.
But we can honor him in how we care for those still here.

Three years later, Ben, you are deeply missed. By the people who served beside you, the friends who shared your music and laughter, and the family who should have had so many more years with you.

It was an absolute honor to know you, Ben. #AATW 🧡🇺🇸

Modeled after the equipment of paratroopers in WW2 with modern upgrades. Our Modern Musette is a tried and true concept with even more adaptability. MOLLE sides and bottom, velcro lined, and stand-alone capable. This bag falls under personal equipment, no different than jumping a chest rig or fanny pack. Is it perfect for every mission? No, but what bag is? We’ve jumped our Modern Musette many times and love it. Designed to be a 24 hour bag, packing just what you need for your fighting load and light sustainment. We’re not your JM team, always consult with them first before jumping non issued equipment. As always, Stay late and get after it🫀#theotherside #aatw #pathfinder #airborne

Somehow, someway, things have always worked out.

I have no reason to believe they won’t again.
