It was 2005; Weapons Company was forced to move out of their traditional roles inside of 1st Battalion, 5th Marines and create five platoons that were armored and armed to the teeth to fight the insurgency of Iraq. What proceeded was seven months of highly kinetic combat operations with death and destruction at every turn. Hundreds of combat patrols, many of them resulting in firefights would continue for months inside the Triangle of Death. What returned was a group of men who were weary from battle and looking for any outlet to numb their memories and move on with life. This is their story.

Despite holding back the Dark Forces from completely eradicating the human race, the EDTF is severely outmatched against such a powerful foe. Many Decades after the western hemisphere became a draconic wasteland, the EDTF had begun development of Project Firebreak, a hand-picked set of individuals to become humanity's best warriors.

Memoirs of an Outlaw: Life in the Sandbox
In Fallujah, during a particularly difficult time in the Iraq War, a group of Marines are deployed on a tour that will bring them closer together, while threatening to tear them apart. The Delta Company Outlaws are a group of USMC infantrymen deployed in 2004 to one of the most hostile war zones in the world. Through the memoirs of one Marine, this touching story encapsulates the drama surrounding everyday life during the Iraq War. With a bond formed through blood, sweat, and tears, a group of unfamiliar Marines will come together stronger than family. Memoirs of an Outlaw: Life in the Sandbox is a dramatic new take on the Iraq War that focuses more on the personal aspects of war rather than exclusively on combat. With a touching approach to the camaraderie, daily life, and unfortunate losses, this enlightening memoir by Robert M. Tanner delves into the brotherhood that’s formed throughout a deployment while documenting the combat experiences and daily life of a Marine. Using personal experiences, this engaging story hooks readers with drama, action, and honesty while painting an illuminating picture of both the funny and tragic sides of war. Inspired by a bond that’s stronger than blood, Memoirs of an Outlaw began as a therapeutic way to document wartime experiences and eventually led to a full-fledged memoir. Deciding to focus on the daily life and camaraderie of war, the story captures the tension, drama, and bonding that comes with combat and living in a hostile environment far away from home. By focusing on the humanistic side of the armed forces, Memoirs of an Outlaw perfectly captures a unique moment in time during an extraordinarily challenging part of the war.Complete
