Fighting in Mosul to Project Leaflet | Chris Naganuma | Ep 10

from Into The Breach · host Ethan Nagel

Chris Naganuma grew up as a troublemaker in California, but everything changed the day he watched the Twin Towers fall on 9/11. Deeply moved, he enlisted in the U.S. Army right after high school and was quickly deployed with one of the first Stryker Combat Teams to Mosul, Iraq in 2004. After a brutal combat tour, he was injured during training and medically separated from the Army. Refusing to slow down, Chris became a competitive 3-gun athlete and launched S3F Solutions, a high-performance Glock barrel company. His leadership and drive eventually led him to become CEO of rapper Xzibit’s cannabis brand, Napalm. When the war in Ukraine began in 2022, Chris felt a new calling. What started as a personal mission to report on the war and send gear to soldiers grew into Project Leaflet—an organization focused on OSINT (open-source intelligence), delivering vital supplies to frontline troops, offering hands-on training, and solving real-world problems in modern conflict zones. This channel documents that journey, blending combat experience, tactical insight, and unfiltered reporting from the front lines of today’s global conflicts.
