Sergeant Major Guy M. is a com­bat para­medic in Unit 669, the elite Com­bat Res­cue Unit — one of the IDF’s four top-tier spe­cial forces units and wide­ly regard­ed as one of the tough­est in the world.

Guy has tak­en part in count­less high-risk mis­sions and oper­a­tions. On Octo­ber 7th, he was among the first teams to reach the Gaza Enve­lope, respond­ing to the dead­liest ter­ror attack in Israeli his­to­ry.

Beyond the bat­tle­field, Guy is a per­ma­nent lec­tur­er in senior IDF com­mand cours­es, train­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of mil­i­tary lead­ers at insti­tu­tions such as the Naval Acad­e­my, Unit 8200, and the IDF Offi­cer Train­ing School.

In par­al­lel, he leads a depart­ment at a world-lead­ing med­ical research cen­ter, writes as a colum­nist for Israel’s top news­pa­pers, and is the author of Full Throt­tle—a diary from his ser­vice in Unit 669 that became a best­seller and essen­tial read­ing for teens prepar­ing for elite IDF ser­vice.

His lat­est book, The Res­cue: Octo­ber 7 Through the Eyes of Israel’s Parares­cue Com­man­dos, is the only first­hand account writ­ten by sol­diers who fought on the ground dur­ing the Octo­ber 7 mas­sacre. It cap­tures the impos­si­ble deci­sions, split-sec­ond res­cues, and hero­ism of the men who ran into the chaos to save lives.

Guy has also led human­i­tar­i­an mis­sions around the world, includ­ing estab­lish­ing an EMS sys­tem in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca and lead­ing Africa’s first COVID-19 vac­ci­na­tion roll­out.

His full name is con­cealed by order of the Israeli gov­ern­ment due to the sen­si­tiv­i­ty of his position.
