Michael D. Steele Biography

Michael D. Steele is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on September 15, 1960 in Statham, Georgia, United States.

Michael Dane Steele (born September 15, 1960) is a retired colonel of the United States Army. He was a company commander in the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment during the Somalia mission Operation Gothic Serpent, which resulted in the now famous book and film Black Hawk Down, wherein he was portrayed by actor Jason Isaacs. He briefly appears in the documentary I Am an American Soldier.

On the afternoon of 3 October 1993, Task Force Ranger received intelligence that two leaders of Aidid’s militia were at a residence in central Mogadishu. In response, the task force sent 19 aircraft, 12 vehicles, and 160 men to arrest them. At 1542 hours, in Mogadishu, Captain Steele fast-roped from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter into the Bakara Market. The raid was to take 30 minutes and was meant to capture Omar Salad and Abdi Hassan Awale, two top advisors to Warlord Mohammed Farrah Aidid. They and other prisoners were loaded into the vehicle convoy to be transported back to base. However, with the downing of two UH-60 Black Hawks, Super 61 (CW4 Cliff Wolcott) and Super 64 (CW3 Mike Durant), the mission dramatically changed for the worse.

Steele is from the small Southeastern town of Statham, Georgia, and was born on September 15, 1960. He attended University of Georgia, where he was an offensive lineman for the Bulldogs football team, during the Vince Dooley era. In 1980, the Bulldogs were crowned national champions. Upon graduation, Steele was commissioned as an infantry officer through Army ROTC in 1983. His first assignment was to the Berlin Brigade in West Berlin. Later he received a master’s degree from Central Michigan University. His military education includes the following: Airborne School, Ranger School, Joint Power Control School, Army Command and General Staff College.

Steele and his brigade deployed to Iraq the fall of 2005 and conducted operations primarily in Saladin Governorate. In March 2006, the brigade planned and executed Operation Swarmer, which was a joint U.S-Iraqi air assault operation targeting insurgents in the desert area to the northeast province of Samarra. According to the US military, it was the largest air assault in Iraq since the start of Iraq War in 2003. In addition to Operation Swarmer, the brigade conducted numerous other brigade and battalion sized operations including Operation Katrina, Operation Rita, Operation(s) Red Light I, II and III, Operation Swift Sword, Operation Starlight, and Operation Iron Triangle.

For killings of unarmed combatants during Operation Iron Triangle (2006), four soldiers were taken to an Article 32 hearing, where they testified that Steele had told them to “kill all military-age males.” Steele refused to testify at the hearing for the accused soldiers, which is considered unusual for a commanding officer. He was investigated in connection with the incident and stated that he did not use “specific language” to order his soldiers to kill all military-age males, and that “we don’t shoot people with their hands up.” He was not charged, but was later formally reprimanded by (then) Lieutenant General Peter W. Chiarelli, commander of the Multi-National Corps – Iraq. The reprimand effectively ended Steele’s future chances of promotion in the army. The content of the reprimand has not been made public, but two anonymous defense department officials identified by The New York Times have said that the reprimand was “for not reporting the deaths and other details of the raid.”
