Edward Gallagher Navy SEAL

Edward was attached to a U.S. Marine Corps unit until he enrolled in Basic Underwater Demolition/ SEAL (BUD/S) class 252 to become a Navy SEAL in the year 2005. During his service, Edward was decorated for valor several times, including two Bronze Stars. He received positive evaluations from his superiors within the SEALs, as well as served as an instructor in the SEALs BUD/S program for recruits. Edward goes by the nickname “Blade”.

Edward also attracted controversies and investigations, although few formal reprimands. Edward was the subject in an investigation of the shooting of a young girl in Afghanistan in 2010 but was cleared of wrongdoing in it. Edward also allegedly tried to run over a Navy police officer with his car in 2014 after being detained at a traffic stop. By 2015, he had acquired a reputation as someone who was more interested in “fighting terrorists” as well as less interested in compliance with rules.

In his eighth deployment in 2017, Edward’s aggressive side was seemingly amplified, especially during the Battle for Mosul, wherein the US force mission was intended to be more advisory than direct combat. He was the subject of a number of reports from his fellow SEAL team members of actions not in keeping with the rules of war, but initially, these reports were dismissed by the SEAL command structure. Only after the reports were escalated outside the SEALs were they acted upon as well as directed to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).

On September 11, 2018, Edward was arrested aboard Camp Pendleton and charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder, obstruction of justice, and other offenses. On October 18, Lieutenant Jacob Portier of Edward’s platoon was also charged with failing to properly escalate to his superiors in the chain of command and destroying evidence. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
