On this episode of Veteran Et Cetera, Mike Kim discusses the overlooked aspects of the Battle of Mogadishu with Mike Kurth. Mike Kurth served as an Airborne Ranger with 3rd Ranger Battalion from 1991-1996. He is known for being a significant figure in the Battle of Mogadishu. Kurth has been portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down and wrote about his Mogadishu experience in the highly acclaimed book The Battle of Mogadishu: Firsthand Accounts from the Men of Taskforce Ranger (2005).
The award winning documentary show Frontline provides this biography of Mike Kurth during the Battle of Mogadishu: He was a Helicopter Radio Operator for Sgt. Watson, Chalk III - Super Six Six. Basic mission was to update the Commander on their position and situation and keep Sergeant Watson in contact. Physically stayed with Sergeant Watson on all the missions, except the October 3rd -- had to be pulled for security as well as do the radio communications. He was 24 at the time of the ambush.
Mike Kurth is an influencer to many veterans and civilians as a member of GoRuck and many other veteran organizations and causes. When he is not helping vets, he excels in management for the bar and restaurant industry. Kurth comes from a long line of family members who served in the military.
