Throughout his military career, Colonel Peter Edward Blaber, U.S. Army (retired),was a key contributor to the success of American, military Special Operations Forces (SOF). Starting as an enlisted service member before receiving an officer’s commission, Blaber cut his teeth in the Army Ranger’s 75th Infantry regiment. Later, Blaber served as a Combat Infantry Company Commander during Operation Just Cause, the 1989 invasion of Panama. Blaber went on to have a distinguished career as an officer and key leader assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). As such,for nearly 15 years, he was directly assigned to various elements of the Army’s secretive Special Mission Units (SMUs). His exploits have been featured in at least two recent books, Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda by Sean Naylor and Cobra II: The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq by Michael R. Gordon and General Bernard E. Trainor. Peter Blaber is known for his lead from the front personality and management style that has not always sat easily with his peers and superiors. He is a great American who is every bit as deserving of a spot in military history as is Major Robert Rogers, John Singleton Mosby- “The Gray Ghost”, and Major Richard J. Meadows.
