Scott Mann was born in Clifton Forge, Virginia. His dad was a U.S. Forester and Wildland Firefighter, so they moved a lot in his early years. He calls himself a “child of the Appalachians”. He loved being outdoors and playing in the woods for hours at a time. When he was 14, he met an active duty green beret and had a conversation with him that changed his life forever. He decided that he was going to be a green beret. He attended high school where he spent most of his youth, a small logging and farming town known as Mount Ida. He was an introvert, he was committed to training and getting into special forces type of shape. His nickname was “Rambo”, he says, because he was just the opposite. He attended Arkansas State, enrolled in ROTC and then joined the Army. His eye was always on being a part of Green Beret selection. There were a number of people that encouraged him. One of the best was a superior officer that made him his assistant which put him in the Green Beret community, exposed him to the standard of Special Forces and taught him what was needed to succeed in the community. Scott was tasked with working in Central and South America helping our ally nations with the challenges of the day that they encountered. When 9/11 happened he was driving outside of Fort Bragg with another member of his unit and once they heard about it they immediately turned their vehicle around, headed to base, knowing that their service and their life had been changed forever. He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2003 where he and his team worked with the local Afghan population to make their lives better. They worked hard with their Afghan partners to win the hearts and minds of the locals. He worked very closely with Afghan citizens that helped them with translation, local norms and customs. Some of those citizens became Afghan special forces trained by the U.S. military. When the U.S. exited from Afghanistan in 2021, Scott and several of his former green berets worked tirelessly to help facilitate the evacuation of the personnel that had faithfully helped them over two decades in the war. That effort of Task Force Pineapple became the source for Scott’s book “Operation Pineapple Express” and the subsequent play “Last Out”. Scott has written a new book that is titled “Nobody is Coming to Save You: A Green Beret’s Guide to Getting Big Sh*t Done.” It is an amazing book that everyone should read, especially if you are in leadership! We highly recommend “Operation Pineapple Express” as well!
