HORSE SOLDIERS ODA TONIGHT – NFR MILITARY HONORS PRESENTED BY BOOT BARN SALUTES THE HORSE SOLDIERS by Brian Hurlburt Many of you reading this have been part of those early mornings when the cowboys and crew first mount their horses to begin another long day of work. Usually, things go smoothly. But when that routine is multiplied by thousands, and most of the handful of Americans riding the stallions are inexperienced, the morning mount can take on a whole different look, feel—and result. This is what U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Mark Nutsch witnessed each morning as he and his troops were among those charged with liberating Afghanistan in October 2001, spearheading America’s Response immediately following the attacks of 9/11. “I wish I had a video camera when we were there because we had the morning buck out show each day and it was something to behold,” said Nutsch, who along with several of his fellow Horse Soldiers will be honored tonight during the NFR Military Honors presented by Boot Barn. “Just imagine hundreds of horses picketed out at 8,000-foot elevation in rough mountain terrain where we had bivouacked for the night and it is bone chilling cold. It was an incredible sight to see everybody stirring in the morning and getting their horses saddled up and getting ready to go on the day's movement. As they were saddling up, some of the horses would suddenly come uncorked and start bucking out through the group causing other horses to start bucking. Even though we were in a very stressful and serious situation, people would start whooping and hollering encouragement when folks started getting bucked off, regardless if it was Afghan allies or American riders. It was an amazing scene.”

This group of heroes became known as the Horse Soldiers, and books and movies have been written about them. Nutsch was portrayed by Chris Hemsworth in the movie 12 Strong, and he and his Special Forces teammates also wrote the book, Swords of Lightning, about their successful but unconventional warfare mission. A recent Cowboys & Indians magazine story written by Chuck Thompson summed up the tale of the Horse Soldiers perfectly. “It is one of the craziest — and most fortunate — coincidences in the annals of military history and horsemanship.” Nutsch led his Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 595 team that worked with Special Forces team ODA 534 and ODC 53 including Major Mark Mitchell, who a few weeks later earned the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions.

EACH NIGHT, WE SPOTLIGHT HONOREES WHO HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY Dec. 8 NFR MILITARY HONORS PRESENTED BY BOOT BARN – Jack James

Jack James was a saddle bronc rider who joined the Navy in 1942. He was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Saipan, and San Francisco, and once competed in the Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1946.

Dec. 10 MEMORIAL NIGHT

We pause to remember our fellow cowboys and cowgirls who have passed away. Their memories will forever live in our hearts and minds, and include legends on and off the dirt. They each will be missed.

Dec. 11 NFR MILITARY HONORS PRESENTED BY BOOT BARN – Dwight Birdwell & EMPLOYEE SERVICE AWARDS

Dwight Birdwell, a former Army soldier who received the Congressional Medal of Honor in 2022 for his actions in the Vietnam War in 1968, is honored. Plus, a strong team is the reason why the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is so successful in front of and behind the scenes.


595 AND ODC 53 – DEC. 15 “It was just an incredible effort by our Special Forces and CIA team working together with and uniting the Afghanistan Northern Alliance partners, from three different rival ethnic factions, and raising the militia army of over 3,000 on horseback and another 2,000 militia that were not,” Nutsch said. “Together, we orchestrated an uprising across six northern provinces, destroyed the Taliban and al Qaeda army of the north, and are considered the catalyst for toppling the Taliban regime.” The Cowboy Way was front and center and for two decades, changed the landscape in Afghanistan and the War on Terror. Nutsch was born and raised on a Flint Hills cattle ranch in Kansas, showed quarter horses and participated in Little Britches youth rodeo events, high school rodeo, and was a member of the Kansas State University Rodeo team for two years where he was a calf and team roper. His upbringing built him for the moment in Afghanistan. “Just growing up in that environment with that grit, the just don't quit attitude, prepared me,” Nutsch said. “The other guys were learning how to ride for the first time there, on the job training to the extreme, and carrying a rifle and the heavy military equipment. Plus, when you get stallions together, they are going to fight, so we also had to deal with that and the crude wooden saddles as a safety issue. There was a bit of horse roulette each day because you never really knew how each horse would react.” When Nutsch reflects on those days in Afghanistan, he remembers teammates, Mike Spann, a CIA operative, who was killed, and Sergeant First Class Bill Bennett, who was killed in Iraq in a different battle in 2003 with the 595 team. And he also ponders the challenges he and everyone faced. “It tested you every way mentally and physically, and because of the isolation, all you can rely on is each other, yourself, and our Afghan allies,” Nutsch said. “We were working to build trust and understanding with everyone involved. Each of us grew up in different backgrounds and had to come together. I was very fortunate to grow up around cowboys, team ropers and ranchers, and that had just as much to do with preparing me for that mission as any training that the Army gave us.”
