AB Staff  Sergeant  P.  was  a  34-year-old  veteran  of  the  United  States  Army,  having  served  two  tours  of  duty  in  Operation  Enduring  Freedom  in  Afghanistan.  During  his  second  tour  of  duty,  his  squadron  of  nine  soldiers  was  attacked  with  an  improvised  explosive  device,  resulting  in  the  deaths  of  two  soldiers  and  injuries  to  three  others,  including  Staff  Sergeant  P.  The  explosion  resulted  in  a  traumatic  brain  injury  (TBI)  to  Staff  Sergeant  P.,  which  produced  persistent  headaches,  trouble  concentrating,  fatigue,  sleep  disturbance,  irritability,  depression,  and  anxiety.  He  was  evaluated  by  an  Army  physician  and  found  to  be  unfit  for  military  service,  ultimately  resulting  in  a  medical  discharge.
