Ask around your local VFW about what a military police soldier does for a living. The answers will make you laugh, cringe, and sometimes simply lean back at the nonsensical tales we evoke from our comrades in arms. Even to the standard military police soldier, their experiences from one to the next are largely different depending on any number of influences. Whether that is duty station, deployments, specific type of military police.
In this book, you will see the far edge of the combat spectrum for a military police soldier. Every so often, military police get training that enables them to be attached to units conducting missions well outside the purview of a standard military police soldier. For those soldiers, their story goes largely untold. Whether due to the incredulity of the story, or because some stories are hard to talk about. The events in this book are told exactly as they happened. Some have been modified due to security concerns and for the privacy of comrades. Ghosts of the Valley gives a full spectrum recount of the incidents that took place in Afghanistan, and the recovery process that became necessary upon return to the peace of home. The book itself will hopefully serve as a benefit to soldiers who have not yet deployed, civilians who struggle to understand the average combat veteran, and the soldiers who have redeployed that still struggle in their recovery process.
The book is not meant to glorify war, but to expose the horrors of it. Ghosts of the Valley also provides a comprehensive, and up-to-date as of the publication, list of resources for those struggling with PTSD, or those who simply need help.
"Sean's in-depth look at combat leadership from an NCO's perspective paints a powerful picture of the reality of today's modern warfare. An exceptional read on the concept of 'team' for our military and civilians."
—CPT (R) Florent Groberg, Medal of Honor recipient
"Great Read from 1st person perspective about the Horrors of War."
—12th Sergeant Major of the Army (R) Jack L Tilley
"You are about to read an outstanding book about small unit leadership, camaraderie and courage! The author is a true American hero who volunteered to join the Army knowing full well he was going into combat! Ghosts of the Valley will inform you that America is still producing great young people, great leaders and true warriors!"
—LTG (R) James Pillsbury
"Compelling, Explosive, and Riveting! SFC Ambriz's experience in Afghanistan is a must read. 'Of the Troops, for the Troops.'"
—MG (R) John G Meyer Jr, U.S. Army, Military Police Corps
"Ghosts of the Valley is a Soldier's-eye-view of the war in Afghanistan. Its written by
an American Warrior who makes a very positive difference. I was honored to serve
with him! He exemplifies Motivation at its best."
—BG David Phillips, Former CG, Civilian Police Assistance Training Team, Multi-National Security Transition Command, Iraq
