John A. Chapman “Chappy” was a U.S. Air Force Combat Controller and Medal of Honor recipient killed during the Battle of Takur Ghar, Afghanistan, during Operation Anaconda. Surrounded and under heavy fire, Chapman continued fighting after the rest of the team had withdrawn from the objective. His actions helped save the lives of other operators on the mountain. The events surrounding Takur Ghar and Roberts Ridge later became widely known through Alone at Dawn by Dan Schilling and Lori Longfritz, along with the film adaptation based on the book. This design honors John Chapman, Combat Control, Air Force Special Tactics, and the legacy of the 24th Special Tactics Squadron.
