McKee was injured during an attack on his platoon while conducting operations in support of 1st Advise and Assist Task Force, 1st Infantry Division, deployed in support of Operation New Dawn. McKee’s vehicle came under attack while on a patrol, knocking McKee unconscious. The Company B soldiers reacted quickly to the attack, assessed the situation and returned to COS Warrior. “We are definitely a team” said McKee, a native of New Braunfels, Texas. “They responded just as I expected them to, we had trained significantly for this deployment, and they responded the way we trained.”
