DELTA FORCE OPERATOR | THE DEBRIEF | Former Green Beret & Delta Force Brent Tucker
In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Brent Tucker.
A 9th generation Floridian, Brent enjoyed his time, schooling & sports in his hometown, until the tragic events of 9/11 led him to ask what he could do for his country. First joining Air Defence, before completing the near-year long training to become a Green Beret, Brent didn't stop there, and continued to advance his career. After 4 tours as a Green Beret, Brent passed the selection process to become a Tier 1 Delta Force Operator. His fierce passion to fight for his country led him to more overseas tours, including an operation that almost cost him his life. Surviving a round from an AK47 and a grenade blast, Brent and his team pulled off a daring escape, and he was awarded a Purple Heart Medal for the operation.
Brent began training police SWAT teams upon his return to civilian life, and soon realised the first responders were operating with poor funding and support for their wounded or fallen members.
Brent is the proud founder of:
First Responders Coffee Company (FRCC) - frccoffee.com/
&
First Responders Cigar Company - frccoffee.com/collections/cigars
And has raised tens of thousands of dollars to help support First Responders and their families.

These podcasts are getting better and better
Thank you for your support!
Excellent. Nice to see the respect he has for our lads and vice versa.
It’s amazing to me that these guys can still operate or even recall what’s going on after almost losing an arm. The training and hardship these guys go through just can’t be properly explained.
Another really enjoyable podcast, mate. So long as we're friends with America, there will always be hope.
Absolutely
Brent is a stud and very patriotic on the rob o'Neill job and Phil or big Phil is the man Legends, warriors, and god shines on these men Not all though as some ride the brand and make money for the wrong reasons Delta forces and 22 SAS are the elite of the elite Love you phil and Brent I watch your anti hero podcast and your a cool guy and the golfer on your team's and on podcast other week is a legend Also the guy who left devgru and then got in delta is a top man Yeah delta and SAS are brothers in arms
Thanks for your support!
I love listening to Brent and Bob Keller as the stories they tell are amazing
Best one yet. And he is totally right with the veterans who went on the ground and the ones who stood on the scoff house entrance
Thanks for watching!
First time viewer. Great job Mate. Brent's story is legendary. Not unfamiliar with it. He presents a compelling, rational and logically sound argument with respect to the military (getting off it's proud arse) and tangibly supporting First Responders. Many sound bytes take aways.
Thanks so much for watching!
Fun fact: Brent Tucker was army national guard special forces with 20th group. A lot of people don’t even know the 19th and 20th exist
Thanks for sharing

Hey Phil, great interview, thank you for hosting it! It seemed to end prematurely or at artificially-why’d it have to be at most an hour? Take care and thank you for your work!
Around an hour is our sweet-spot for making our content accessible for as many viewers as possible, and means we'll get to organise a part 2 with Brent!
hi phil, followed you for a long time,,im glad to see that you have found a platform, great show (s)
Thanks for the support!
only too glad,fight the good fight@@ForceRadioHQ
Whats the other motto,from the states, the difficult every day,the impossible by appointment only. Love that one.
Great podcast Phil. You gotta hope 🇺🇲 & 🇬🇧 are always friends, no matter what the politics
Thanks for the support!
Really enjoyed your podcast, and from now on I'm going to see them all .Bit didn't Brent know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.❤
Legend
Thanks for watching!
Brent definitely has a point to make. Sounds hard hearted, there’s a balance, sometimes you just have to focus on the positives.
Well said 👏🏻
Real Coup this one Phil
Excellent👍
Thanks a lot
good convo!
Thanks for listening
Hey phil, new fan and new sub
Thanks for the support!
I’m 41. I wanted to join the Army so bad I could taste it after 911 but I let my family talk me out of it. Very few days go by that I dont regret it.
Thank you for sharing
Big Phil, you and a few of the lads must have some hilerous stories of shit that went wrong either operational or in traning not just SF but also green army. We need the funny side of it all. Great respect for everybody who served. UK Forces best in the world.. FACT. Foxy nailed it, "we have the best forces in the world due to our traing grounds". Mostly Wales.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Delta and SAS are based on one another We taught them but America devgru and delta/CAG etc get unlimited cash so it gives them a lot of TTPs with the best equipment but SAS were still using bright lights on weapon in IRAQ instead of using top night vision/lasers etc but we make up for it with talent John macaleese and Billy billingham were proper tier 1 operators
ya'll didnt "teach" our delta operators, Beckwith who stood up delta went thru your SAS selection and OTC personally and succeeded (macaleese and another SAS legend who had a YT channel before he passed and has an episode dedicated to beckwith and what he managed to do everyday and night for almost a year straight, were in the same selection as beckwith in the late 70's) WHILE forming the blue print, the training regime, desired operator psycology, neccessary capabilities etc.... everynight after he would get done with that days selection requirements or otc training. so while everyone else were either resting or having a few beers, beckwith had his nose to the grindstone DOUBLE TIME forming the blueprint for delta's selection/otc and core capabilities that has till this very day remained virtually unchanged. delta and sas are very close but they are not 1-1 when it comes to the fine print.
@@danielcampbell9457 I agree with everything you said as becwith came an moulded a team around the SAS after the failed Iran deal when helicopter crashed but yeah America and Britain are very close and done top high value targets together
@danielcampbell9457 How the fck do you know that? That's right, you dont, HELMET!
@@pauldrysdale7615 because "helmet" this isnt top secret information, dummy. ur own legendary sas operators talk about it. lmao "helmet".
Look it up ,Chris van sant delta force man and he said British were still using bright lights on their guns an it's a fact becwith came to train with SAS and he modelled delta on them and fucking plenty of delta even admitted they get unlimited funds yet British don't ,anyway the word helmet is ancient ,go give your head a good shake. ,how can you be such a salty nob to cause an argument when if you look at my other statements you'll see I love American tier 1operaters so sort your head out instead of pulling people down
We had the same thing with the 82nd cab. When we were in the shit they would set it down now matter what. They are the rockstars. They even took time to shoot m4’s out of the Kiowas when they were Winchester. Nuff said. They know who they are.
Nice.
Thanks for watching
I like this interviewer.. not afraid to get into it.. Brent will decline to answer if he has too
Thanks for watching!
What would interest me is a debrief from Mr Ben Griffin.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Didnt know jorge masvidal was in delta
Please interveiw John Shrek Mcphee
Scoff not heard that for years 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Is that the same as scran? 😅

I wish I had served, I did try for the Marines but failed my medical :(
No shame in that, mate. Just bad luck. What will you do instead?
@@goodyeoman4534 This was 30 years ago, I'm nearly 50 now, unfortunately disabled now but ran my own business for many years, had a heart defect from birth.
What a great bloke, just right, not a yeeehaaaarrr type, get in do the job, pull out. I don't know about standing at the canteen door, but have roughed it at times, I once had to complain to the concierge about the shower dripping in my hotel room all night! Yes ex RAF!!! Hehe.
Thanks for watching!
Brent looks like the American version of Phil
Kevin Holland was the man i was thinking of who left devgru and then went delta Legend The devgru and SBS are good too Jason fox,ant Middleton Eddie penney and cole fackler etc But big Phil your a legend and thanks for your service Stories need to be told as long as its not revealing TTPs etc we deserve to know these stories as if your not doing it for cash then your doing it for the right reasons but delta are quite ooen Hope you and bear grills are still cool
@@nickjohnson710 Fuck salt you boys on here are salty I never mentioned how he got from devgru to delta .he actually worked as a gamekeeper in Carolina then rejoined after 9/11 Wow you boys are real salty What's your problem Are you pissed coz i like delta more than devgru as I'm just being honest Delta are the best in America hands down 10000% Anyway fanboy is off for day
No he was working as a gamekeeper in Carolina after leaving devgru red squadron as its him who first got the hatchet that all red squadron use an I also think other blue gold and silver adopted it as obviously they had a use for it and a few years later yes only way he could get into delta through a phone call with the black hawk down legend Kyle lamb and he told him he needed to enlist so quickest way was through national guard which a few delta boys did same thing
@@leetaylor2428 Why didn't you say all this in your original comment.....you said he left DEVGRU to go to CAG.....which isn't true, now you're backtracking because I called you out on it......
@@nickjohnson710 oh man chill Just coz I didnt mention every detail No I'm not back tracking I've followed American and British mostly on every tier one podcast and watched the movies which actually dont even tell true story about most operators I like Marcus luttrell and shawn Ryan etc Anyway just chill man I fully respect your American operators or I wouldn't watch everything I can find about them Which until delta man brent exposed rob o'Neil about him not being the one who shot bin laden I always believed rob but brent totally exposed him and I think he actually knows the man who actually shot bin laden first and then rob and rest put bullets into him after by what they call canoeing were they shoot top of their scalp off and split top of skull Red team with that saminski guy and I'm sorry if I've spelt that wrong but since Robert's fell out of chopper on Robert's ridge and were they left mark Chapman coz they thought he was ded and then realised he woke up and was still fighting alone and covered story up for all those years I love them devgru and delta and green berets too Is it coz I'm British and saying SAS are best ? Coz I actually admitted that delta now as the best equipment but I still think on a smaller budget the SAS are the best I apologise if that makes you salty
@@leetaylor2428 I'm not American.....I'm British! Where did I say i was American? Tell me
👍
🤟🤟
😊
Bro, I have intense combat experience in Afghanistan. I was medically retired at 50%. It’s been 10 years and my back is fucked up. I have gone back to the VA for an increase and got denied. However, there are shitbags getting 100%. It’s because when I was in, and shit hurt, I drove on because that’s the atmosphere of real men. The shitbags have a plethora of paperwork for every time that they went to sick call for every ouchie.
Thanks for sharing!
first coz im da goat
Was it hard telling your dad you were gay?
@@InterYamah mad coz u werent first
@@boblob3509yeah you're right 😔
@@InterYamah i know u dont have to tell me
Thanks for watching!
The golfer was Bob keller and wow he got stories with brent Chris van sant, Kyle Morgan, Jamie Caldwell SAS John macaleese Lindsey Bruce,Billy billingham and obviously obi one Nairobi, Chris Ryan, Wish I'd have gone down this route and joined the brotherhood and rid the world of evil Who dares wins
Chris Ryan was the one that got away, not Obi Wan.
@@johnnunn8688 Hey up Respect for reply Yeah Ryan got to Syria but craighead stayed there around 28 hours then helped other forces before going back to his gaff for a shower
@@leetaylor2428, you’re bonkers. Chris Ryan escaped to Syria 20 odd years before Craighead did his bit.
I've mentioned nearly every badass in delta you mug I'm a special forces fan an as far as I'm concerned uk and America are as one We train together we do targets together and we do every war together I'm fan boy yes but of all top tier 1 forces including Canada JTF tier one Anyway go enjoy your day and stop being salty and smile a bit Oh another delta badass is Brian Gilligan or Nate Dudley So yeah I'm a fan boy and your salty and I probs know more about your tier one than you do yourself Pat McNamara dale Comstock zach Harrison Craig (chilli) palmer and who can forget the sheriff of Baghdad john McPhee Enjoy your day salty
@leetaylor2428 what have I got to be salty about? It is people like you who give people in the UK a bad name! ......and I'm British....you're embarrassing yourself and this country
The Delta dude who claims to be a silent professional….💰
This shit is hilarious
