TUSKER TRAINS THE U.S. SPECIAL FORCES AT HIGH ALTITUDE
2010 – Tusker’s reputation at high altitude prompts the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency to ask Eddie to assist with research and provide high altitude medical training for elite special forces operators.
The goal is to ensure that special operators experience the body’s natural response during altitude sickness in a safe environment so they can recognize the early signs and react proactively to avoid acute mountain sickness.
