The Army does not want you to hear this story.
The true story of Dog Company.
Why? It does not want to advertise its detention system that coddles enemy fighters while putting American soldiers at risk. It does not want to reveal the new lawyered-up Pentagon war ethic that prosecutes U.S. soldiers and Marines while setting free spies who kill Americans.
This very system ambushed Dog Company commander Captain Roger Hill and his men.
Hill, a West Point grad and decorated combat veteran, was a rising young officer who had always followed the letter of the military law. In 2007, Hill got his dream job: infantry commander in the storied 101st Airborne. His new unit, Dog Company, 1-506th, had just returned stateside from the hell of Ramadi. The men were brilliant in combat but unpolished at home, where paperwork and inspections filled their days.
With tough love, Hill and his First Sergeant, an old-school former drill instructor named Tommy Scott, turned the company into the top performers in the battalion.
Hill and Scott then led Dog Company into combat in Afghanistan, where a third of their men became battlefield casualties after just six months. Meanwhile, Hill found himself at war with his own battalion commander, a charismatic but difficult man who threatened to relieve Hill at every turn. After two of his men died on a routine patrol, Hill and a counterintelligence team busted a dozen enemy infiltrators on their base in the violent province of Wardak. Abandoned by his high command, Hill suddenly faced an excruciating choice: follow Army rules the way he always had, or damn the rules to his own destruction and protect the men he’d grown to love.
Watch the video above to hear from Captain Hill and the men of ‘Dog Company’ through interviews and media appearances. Was the Taliban the biggest threat these heroes faced? Or did the bigger threat come from those they trusted most?
"A powerful story of brotherhood and heroism – both on and off the battlefield."
"Captain Hill faced an impossible choice."
"'Dog Company' makes Benghazi look like a walk in the park."
"'Dog Company' is a clarion call to our nation’s military leaders and federal bureaucrats..."
"A war's impossible mission."
Meet Some of the Heroes of Dog Company

Captain Roger Hill commanded Dog Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the hotly contested province of Wardak, Afghanistan. After months of intense fighting and a 30% casualty rate, he was relieved for interrogating spies his command refused to hold. The spies, including his translator, were freed while Roger was charged with war crimes. His story in the book 'Dog Company' demonstrates appeasement politics on the front lines of combat.


Mo was the guy who'd run through hell with gasoline for his men. The 17-year veteran under CPT Roger Hill in Dog Company had shot knees and a wrecked back, yet stayed on front-line duty. Calm outside but burning inside, he lightened things by '-izzling' words: latrine to 'latrizzle,' hooch to 'hizzle,' Taliban to 'Talidizzle.' Fighter and tactician Moriarty earned Hill's full trust: 'If Mo said do X at the front, I'd execute without question—he'd earned that.'

Sergeant Andrew Doyle—everyone called him Drew—had a natural knack for fixing things, always working like the stereotypical mechanic brother-in-law with grease-creased hands. Sandy blond, mid-20s, with steel blue eyes, his boyish face hadn’t grown into his mustache. Quiet and mild-tempered, this fantastic shot could thread a 40mm grenade through a mud-frame window from 1,000 meters. His sharpshooting plus 5'6" stature earned the nickname 'Battle Troll.'


SPC Allan Moser enlisted in the U.S. Army right after high school and was assigned to Dog Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. During deployment, he led as Squad Leader for Dog Company (E-4) through combat engagements. He received the Purple Heart and CIB and was submitted for the Bronze Star with Valor for May 2, 2008. Though his Army career was cut short, he believes he's where God intends him to be.
Dog Company Sergeant Saves Dozens from Taliban Suicide Bomber Threat
A Dog Company convoy was ambushed by Taliban suicide bombers in Wardak Province, Afghanistan. Learn how one hero charged through enemy fire to eliminate the immediate threat—saving dozens, potentially hundreds of lives.
In the firsthand video account linked above, Sergeant First Class (Ret.) Timothy “Mo” Moriarity and Captain Roger Hill recount that ambush and the follow-on operations that led to the destruction of a car bomb-making factory, preventing future attacks and potentially saving hundreds—if not thousands—more lives.
