Elliot Stone

Elliot Stone is a veteran Special Operations Soldier and a National Guardsman. As a Special Forces Communication Sergeant, he has traveled the world in support of America’s missions. In a time of massive global conflict, he saw change was coming and switched focus to assisting the military’s transformation to prepare for the “future fight.” Cyber, robotics, electronic warfare, and space are no longer distance threats. They are ever-present, and the Guard is a vital part of our multi-domain defense. After a decade of dedicated service, he decided to tell the remarkable and untold stories of National Guard Special Forces. Having spent years prior to beginning his military service living a fantasy life as a television producer and traveling recording artist—he can unequivocally say, “Being Guard SF is the coolest job on earth.” He chose to share a fiction-based Guard world in “Guard US” because it allows readers to consider the art of the possible while focusing attention on the more relatable and transcending themes that drive us all to keep going—even when it’s overwhelming. Citizen Soldiers. Warriors among US.
