"Rich is a super guy and long time friend. "

"Rich is a solid individual and a faithful friend. I have known him for over 20 years. He is competent and well read. Highly recommend. "

"Richard is a thoroughly knowledgeable person in the planning and execution of modern warfare. Specifically, he has the grit to dig below the surface of history. His efforts reveal the true, bumpy nature of history as experienced by the American fighting man. His opinions are well thought out and he considers all sides of an equation before he speaks. I trust him and consider him a fellow warrior."

"In the late 80's, I served under Richard Killblane as my Company Commander for Alpha Co 2/9 Infantry Regiment in Fort Ord, CA. Richard is highly regarded for his professionalism, knowledge in military tactics, and strong discipline. I would serve with him again without any hesitation."

"First class leader, scholar and gentleman! Best of the best."

"Mr Killblane is a respected and experienced leader, a West Point Graduate, US Army Special Forces officer with extensive experience in combat operations and historical events. He is a published author and one of the most gifted writers I have ever known, his attention to detail is impeccable and his dedication to historical accuracy is the best I have seen. His work as a US Army command historian took him to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan in five deployments where he gathered combat history of transportation and convoy security missions that without question are the most detailed and accurate accounts available. I highly recommend Mr Killblane as a professional and reputable source for historical analysis and information. He is among the best, if not the best in his field. "

"Rick is a true leader. He calls on his vast historical knowledge of military leadership and operations to master current day challenges and provide great value to every organization he is a part of. His lifelong study of martial arts depicts the discipline and dedication he can put forth in any endeavor. I highly recommend Rick."

"Richard is an extremely skilled and experienced Military Historian. He is a critical thinker who excels at deriving evidence from primary and secondary sources. His reputation for knowing all things military is superb, and he is a joy to work with."

"Great guy. I've read most of his books and papers. I've known him for over a decade and consider him a good friend who is brilliant, witty, and honest. As a military historian, there is none better in my opinion."

"Rich is a skilled Military Historian and Author. He is my personal 'go-to' for questions on the US Army Transportation Corps and military logistics. A true team-player, he would be a great addition to any organization or venture. "
