The Network
Combat Story is part of a larger community. These are the people, shows, and businesses we stand behind.
Combat Story has never been just about one show. It is about the people who serve, the people who support them, and the people who tell their stories. This page is for all of them.
AJ Pasciuti — Host, Combat Story
Right Now
The stories, people, and ideas shaping Combat Story's conversations this season.
Brandon Bateman
Brandon’s care, confidence, and genuine curiosity to seek out and understand each person’s story are among the purest forms of human connection I have experienced. His love for this work is not only rooted in preserving our nation’s history but also in protecting each veteran’s legacy. It is an honorable path, and one worth walking beside.
Dagan "Hoot" Van Oosten
Dagan and I have been close friends for many years, and his care for his craft and attention to detail are second to none. I have valued his friendship for more than two decades. Even though we have walked different paths, we have always found our way back to one another, reconnecting as if we had never left each other’s sides. That same steady presence shows up in his work, his relationships, and the way he leads others.
Web Development
Founded by a Marine Reconnaissance veteran and my good friend (and former student!) Shane Fredericks, Kortex brings military-grade discipline, security-first engineering, and modern technology together with purpose. From websites and applications to AI tools and full-scale platforms, Kortex builds solutions that do more than look good: they perform, scale, and support real business growth.
The Difference
When AJ Pasciuti recommends something, his audience listens. Not because of production value or reach, but because of 22 years of earned credibility. That kind of trust does not come from a media kit. It comes from service.
Combat Story listeners do not skip. They stay for the full conversation because they are invested in the people and the stories. That attention extends to the brands that support the show.
We are selective about who we work with. Every partnership must serve the audience. If it does not make their lives better, it does not make the show.
