CPT William Nuessle thought he was prepared. Environmental health officer by day, Best Leader Competition champion in his dreams. But reality hit harder than a MRE. Lost in the woods, failing obstacles, and questioning his own leadership this isn't the hero story he envisioned.

This is the story of a leader pushed to the limit, forced to confront selfdoubt, and determined to rise from the ashes. Can Nuessle overcome his failures and become the asset his team needs?
