Jon Dumbauld was among 300 people invited to take part in a Special Operations Command presentation at Fort Bragg. This annual event allows participants an opportunity to see the capabilities of the Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) up close. It is a chance to gain deeper insight into military life, equipment, training, and missions. During his time there, Dumbauld was able to see some of the base, including a Memorial Wall, where two soldiers stand guard 24/7, much like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A full city has been built within Fort Bragg for training purposes.
