This is a redacted personnel file, released under FOIA case 2026-AR-992. Sergeant First Class Caleb J. Rourke, Special Forces, served across multiple theaters under authority that had, in several cases, already stopped functioning. His evaluations record strong tactical judgment and limited tolerance for unclear tasking. One post-operational notation was never followed up. Rourke is one of three central characters in A Perfectly Useless War, a geopolitical thriller about a military operation that keeps executing after its reason for existing has disappeared. No villains. No heroes. Just competent people doing their jobs correctly. The file is free. The novel is available now on Kindle and Kobo.
