Jason Beardsley

Retired Green Beret Master Sergeant Jason Beardsley is an entrepreneur and serves as the Director of Veterans’ Initiatives at Stand Together, former National Executive Director of the Association of the USNavy and served as Special Assistant in the Special Operations Low Intensity Conflict (SOLIC), OUSD and as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Department of VA.

Earlier this year, Jason was featured on MSNBC Morning Joe. The following material was excerpted from his introduction written by Rejina Shrestha:

He has 22 years of military service under his belt, with the last 15 years spent with Joint Special Operations and Army Special Operations. Jason was one of a small handful of people entrusted with carrying out some of the riskiest and most clandestine tactical missions supporting US military action and the Global War on Terrorism.

Beardsley has advised the US Department of Defense and other federal departments, including the State Department and government bodies of Host and Allied Nations, at a senior level. This background provides a solid foundation for dealing with all levels and agencies of the US and foreign governments.

Developing and executing plans to achieve strategic initiatives, establishing relationships with defense and intelligence groups of the US and our partner nations, unifying resources from disparate commands, and leading combined forces in accomplishing multifaceted operations were all part of his involvement with joint intelligence and special functions.

He oversaw task force operations, including planning and executing special operations missions in dangerous and isolated situations. Jason has been awarded two Bronze Stars for his outstanding performance and sound judgment throughout long-term combat operations.

Earlier this year, AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber interviewed Jason on the Better for America podcast series. Click the image below to view this broadcast.
