My name is Johnny Beltran, I am a former decorated U.S. Navy SEAL combat Veteran, Purple Heart recipient and co-owner of Warriors Left Behind (WLB). Throughout my tenure as a SEAL, I was well- versed in many areas such as platoon point man; lead assaulter, and Special Activities intelligence collection. Additionally, I had multiple roles and responsibilities; to include primary platoon Intelligence and Special Reconnaissance Dept Head, where I oversaw the training and maintenance for our platoon image/ video capturing surveillance equipment.
I proudly served in combat tours to Afghanistan and was deployed through-out Asia in support of the war on terror. While deployed to Afghanistan, I conducted several Direct Action, and Special Reconnaissance missions to capture high value Taliban and Al-Qaeda insurgents. As a result of life threating wounds sustained from a firefight during a Direct-Action Assault on a Taliban compound, I was awarded the Purple Heart Medal, as well as a Navy Commendation with Combat Valor.
I am dedicated to combating terrorism and continue to train some of the finest military and police tactical units around the world. As a defense contractor I have led various security and government training contracts for companies such as AT-Solutions, where I was a team lead for a contract running the US Navy EOD combat skills training; and later was promoted to the company Products Manager. As a business professional I have taken up multiple roles such as marketing director, product manager and business development lead. Alongside my brother & Navy SEAL Doug Gallaher I continue to provide tactical training and product procurement services.
We started Warriors Left Behind to help with the difficult and overwhelming frustrations of owning a small military/veteran/family business. We stand not only to re-build families and military businesses but uplift our national economy and share our services with the world. May No Warrior be Left Behind.
