Mark Nutsch

Green Beret Commander Portrayed in the Movie 12 Strong & New York Times Best-Seller, Horse Soldiers

As a U.S. special forces leader in Afghanistan, Mark Nutsch led America’s opening charge — literally — in the War on Terror.

Among the first soldiers sent to Afghanistan in October 2001 — mere weeks after the 9/11 Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on American soil — Nutsch was a U.S. Army special forces captain in charge of Operational Detachment Alpha 595. The 12-man Green Beret outfit’s mission was to partner with opposition fighters and help overthrow the country’s oppressive Taliban government, which had been harboring Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Exactly how they were supposed to do this no one quite knew. Intel was sparse. The commanders who sent the men of ODA 595 into the hostile wilds of northern Afghanistan likely didn’t expect any of them to return alive.

One thing absolutely no one foresaw was that the highly trained and thoroughly modern fighting unit was going to carry out the first phase of its task on the backs of some of the toughest and orneriest horses on the planet. As they soon discovered, however, the rugged terrain and crude conditions made local horses the only reliable means of moving around Taliban positions. Fortunately for the men of ODA 595—and here’s where that luck or, if you prefer, the guiding hand of fortune, comes into play—one of them knew his way around a mount.

Alex Hernandez

Former “12 Strong” Special Forces member

A true American hero, Alex dutifully served in the U.S. Army for 26 years as a Green Beret and retired as Sergeant Major. He went on to serve 14 years in the Central Intelligence Agency as a Senior Intelligence Officer. Alex was a member of the ODA 595 Special Forces team that was the first to land in Afghanistan in response to the attacks on our country on 9/11. On October 19th of 2001 as a direct response to the attacks of 9/11, this team was given horses by the Northern Alliance and rode into multiple battles. Their historic and unconventional warfare experience earned them the moniker, “The Horse Soldiers,” and has been brought to life in the film, “12 Strong,” as well as in numerous other leading books and documentaries.
