About The Author
Frank Hancock
Colonel (Ret) Frank Hancock was the Battalion Commander of 1-327 Infantry, a 700-man battalion in the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (1990⁄91). In 1993, after finishing his battalion command with the 101st Airborne, he published a Strategic Research Paper as a student at the US Army War College. Titled “North to The Euphrates, Part One: The Taking of FOB Cobra,” this report provides much of the operational framework of the unit’s mission in the Gulf War and the all-important first day of the ground attack into Iraq. The basis for his research paper is also the operational basis for the book and provides the source document thirty years later.
