Colonel Danny McKnight Danny R. McKnight is a retired colonel in the United States Army. As a lieutenant colonel, he was the commanding officer of the 3rd Ranger Battalion and led the "Lost Convoy" during the Battle of Mogadishu on October 3, 1993. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor device for his actions during the battle. He attended Florida State University and received a bachelor's degree in management in 1973. He was also a distinguished military graduate from the school's ROTC program. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in the United States Army. During his career, he served in a variety of infantry assignments with conventional and Ranger units. Ranger assignments include service as company executive officer and instructor at the mountain phase of the Ranger course; regimental adjutant, 75th Ranger Regiment; S-3 (battalion operations officer), 3rd Ranger Battalion; executive officer, 3rd Ranger Battalion; executive officer, 75th Ranger Regiment; and commanding officer, 3rd Ranger Battalion. He retired from the Army in 2002. Successful Leadership on the Tough Days On October 3rd, 1993, about a hundred elite U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopter into the teeming Bakaara market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis, which became the longest sustained firefight involving American troops since the Vietnam War. Colonel McKnight was the on scene ground commander during the battle. In the motion picture adaptation of the battle, Black Hawk Down, Colonel McKnight is portrayed by actor Tom Sizemore. Colonel McKnight will provide attendees with excellent first hand insight on crisis leadership and being a leader during the "tough times". We have arranged for him to have his new book will be available for purchase and he will be autographing them.
