Pete sought active duty, nominated Afghanistan and put himself in harms way, crossing outside the wire 119 times.
Pete served in the Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC) in Kabul, placing him in "an imminent danger pay area" from late March to mid-September 2014, while the then-32-year old was still serving his first term as mayor.
The ATFC "identifies and disrupts Taliban, Al-Qaida and other insurgent financial support networks in Afghanistan."
Buttigieg represented ATFC at "high level briefings," the documents say, and "coordinated intelligence sharing and targeting deconfliction" methods with multiple organizations
