Randy Surles served for over twenty years in the U.S. Army in Special Forces (aka Green Beret) and as an Airborne Ranger, deploying over twenty times to South America, the Middle East, and Africa. In this episode Randy joins Robert and Paul to talk about his career, but we dive deep into the infamous Columbian Lancero School of which he attended. He shares some really funny and insightful stories about La Escuela Militar de Lanceros (The Lancero School) in Colombia, which is the most-respected Ranger Course in Latin America since its inception in 1956. The Lancero School, like the U.S. Army Ranger School, provides junior officers and enlisted men with the skills and attributes needed to be strong tactical leaders throughout the Colombian Army and in the Lancero Group that does special reconnaissance and direct action missions for the Army divisions. The Lancero badge is a mark of distinction worn by military leaders throughout the Americas.
