While I never met Doug, my brother-in-law Maj. Michael Martio USMC was a Cobra pilot who was on Forward Air Controller (FAC) duty with 2/1 Echo in Fallujah under Doug's command during the Fallujah battles in 2004. Call sign Oprah. I remember when Mike got back from that tour and he spoke about Doug with the utmost respect and awe. Doug and his Marines inspired Mike to be out front and center on almost every patrol into the city's northern sector, calling in air support to protect 2/1 and kill the insurgents. Mike said he would've gone right to the gates of hell to support Doug, and Fallujah in 2004 was pretty close to that. Mike was KIA during his next tour in Nov. 2005 in Anbar provence when his Cobra was shot down (GS66WWNF). When Doug was killed in 2007 our family attended the burial service at Arlington. I was so impressed with the huge number of top tier warriors who came to it - Marines, SEALS, and other operators. Now Mike and Doug lay only a few rows apart in Section 60. RIP to them and all who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

God, thank you for sharing this profound story, and am so very, very sorry for your personal loss. Mike sounds like an incredible guy, right alongside Doug. Angel on your shoulder. Live the best life you can, always see the light in the darkness; do it for your brother. He is watching and guiding you every day. His only pain is in watching those he loves, suffer. For all of them, up there in heaven, having the time of their eternal lives; their only pain, comes from watching those below, suffer survivor’s guilt, or allowing their grief to freeze them, in their tracks and miss their own purpose. I hope you are well. God Bless you and your family.

Gave a super legendary speech to his Marines before pushing into Fallujah. “The dogs of Fallujah will grow fat from the bodies we lay to waste.” Those Marines dumped so many insurgents it was impeding sectors of fire at times. Cody Alford has a great story where he mentions the Major on The Shawn Ryan Show. It gives a great account of the entire battle space and what Marines accomplished as well as sacrificed. Semper Fi gents.

I was there in 2nd Force when he was the OIC of ARS and I met him and he was this strong, unrelenting, ungiving force of what a recon marine was and I remember him and that to this day. He was a Capt then, but I remember you always Capt “Z”

I was curious, as I saw he had jump and dive badge. This is pre-marsoc and I figured he was anglico or apart of force recon. I joined in 2010 as a grunt. I missed OIF but was in OEF. I finished the video and was a bit upset they left out the fact that he was apart of one of, if not the most elite origination. He was a ground branch operator for the CIA.

Why did you leave out the fact that he was a ground branch operative for the CIA. He rose to the very top. Hell, he very well may have been the tip of the spear and been apart of the Marine corps forming their OWN special operations; Marsoc (formed in 2008). Prior to this, it was the Force Recon guys (who have both jump and dive badges as shown in the video). Great video nevertheless.
