FILE NAME: Briggs, Wade D.
PRIMARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Special Operations
SECONDARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Intelligence
BIRTHPLACE: Methuen, MA

Wade "Hotspot" Briggs graduated from Boston University in 1998 with a degree in investigative journalism, but decided to immediately enlist in the Army to help pay off his college loans. He earned his green beret shortly before the September 11th attacks, and soon found himself living with and fighting alongside Afghan tribesmen. Then he was deployed to Iraq, scouting targets and working with resistance groups in advance of the U.S. invasion.

He joined the Joint Special Operations Command special missions teams in 2008, and was assigned to the GI JOE team's covert operations team, alongside Falcon, Claymore and Chuckles. He acts as an intelligence agent, force builder and trouble shooter, deployed to potential crisis areas well in advance of any official military action.

A classic snake-eater, Hotspot loves nothing more than living and fighting alongside freedom fighters, actively unfolding history. He shows a great respect for the indigenous peoples he works with, their cultures and traditions, and hopes to one day tell their stories to the world. His prized possession and good luck charm is an AK-47 given to him by a tribal elder in Afghanistan with whom he formed a close bond on his first deployment. The rifle had belonged to the elder's late son, who had died protecting Ahmad Shah Massoud on September 9th, 2001.
