Colonel Douglas V. Mastriano (born January 2, 1964) is an American military historian, strategist, Eagle Scout and an award winning author from Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His 2014 biography of Sergeant Alvin York won the 2015 Colby Award. Mastriano is also a candidate for the Pennsylvania 9th District Congressional Federal seat being vacated by the retiring Congressman Bill Shuster.[1]

Education

Mastriano has a bachelors history degree from Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania and has four master's degrees, which include; Master of Military Operational Art and Science, Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence, Master of Air Power Theory and Studies, and a Master of Strategic Studies. Mastriano is a graduate of the USAF School of Advanced Air and Space Studies. In 2013, he earned his Ph.D. in history at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada.[2] Mastriano was awarded the 2009 Eastern University Alumnus of the year in 2009 in St. Davids, Pennsylvania.[3]

Career

Military

In 1986, Mastriano was commissioned in the United States Army. He started his military career in Nuremberg, Germany with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment along the West German Iron Curtain border of East Germany and Czechoslovakia.[4] Mastriano took part in the end of the Cold War and in 1990 deployed to Saudi Arabia as part of Operation Desert Shield/Storm to force Iraqi out of Kuwait. His regiment, the 2nd US Cavalry, fought against Saddam Hussein's Republican Guards.[5] He also held military assignments in The Pentagon, 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) "Rock of the Marne," NATO, US Army Europe (USAREUR) and many other assignments. He has served in tactical, operational, and strategic assignments.[2][6]

Mastriano also served four years in NATO Land Headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany.[2][7] While in this unit, he deployed to Afghanistan three times, where he was director of the ISAF Joint Intelligence Center. Colonel Mastriano also served as the G2 (senior intelligence officer) for NATO's Army Headquarters (Land Component Command) in Germany. [2][6] In June 2012, Mastriano became a part of the US Army War College faculty as a professor in the Department of Military Strategy, Planning, and Operations in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.[2][6]

Historian and writer

Mastriano is a much sought after public speaker on a diverse array of topics. He was featured on C-Span for his talk on Sergeant Alvin York.[8]

Mastriano

Mastriano published his first book Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne in 2014.[6] He conducted twelve years of research for the biography, gathering data in both American and German archives.[9] In all, Mastriano spent 1,000 hours doing research on Alvin York, and combed through archives in various parts of Germany including, Stuttgart, Freiburg, Potsdam, Rottweil, and Ulm.[10] Mastriano then did another 1,000 hours of field research in the Argonne Forest of France to locate where Alvin York fought. Using terrain analysis, geo-spatial data, and field archaeology, his research team uncovered thousands of artifacts related to the Sgt York battle of October 8, 1918. He said that his interest in Alvin York began when he was a child, after having seen the 1941 film Sergeant York. After he joined the Army, his interest in York "deepened."[7] Along with research, the books incorporates forensic study and military terrain analysis.[6]

H.R. McMaster wrote of Mastriano's book, "A compelling story of Sergeant York's heroism and character."

The book won four awards, which included the 2015 William E. Colby Award,[2] the Army Historical Foundation Award, the US Army War College Madigan Award and the 2015 Crader Family Book Prize in American Values.[11][12] In 2015, Mastriano was inducted into the elite "Colby Circle." Other writers associated with this group include: H.R. McMaster, Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, James Webb, and Mark Bowden. This group of writers is recognized for their contributions "to public understanding of military and political affairs."[13]

Sgt York Historic Trail France

Mastriano is the co-founder of the Sgt. York Discovery Expedition. The purpose of this group was to pinpoint the exact location where Alvin York captured 132 German soldiers and removed a machine-gun nest, for which York was awarded the Medal of Honor.[6] On October 14, 2006,[10] Mastriano, along with his team, recovered several .45 caliber bullets, connecting back to York. This was followed by the discovery of twenty-four Colt .45 ACP cartridges and forty-six M1917 Eddystone rifle cartridges in the locations where German and American eyewitnesses indicated York fired his weapons. Subsequent forensic ballistic analysis of the pistol and rifle cartridges by Dr. Doug Scott proved that these matched York's rifle and side arm. The details of this ballistic forensic analysis are described in Mastriano's book.[9] His group of searchers included family members, soldiers from across NATO, historians, and colleagues, who dedicated 1,000 hours studying the battlefield with metal detectors.[9] He organized the construction of a five kilometer trail in the Forest of Argonne in France, that includes nine historic signs and two stone monuments with all text in German, English and French. Mastriano says, "on the 'Circuit du Sergeant York' visitors can walk where York fought."[2]

Douglas Mastriano published another book, "Thunder in the Argonne: A New History of America's Greatest Battle" in 2018. "Thunder in the Argonne" gives the most comprehensive account of this legendary campaign. Not only does the book provide American, French, and British perspectives on the offensive, but he also offers―for the first time in English―the German view. Mastriano presents a balanced analysis of successes and failures at all levels of command, examining the leadership of the principals while also illuminating acts of heroism by individual soldiers. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive is widely regarded as one of America's finest hours, and the amazing feats of Sergeant Alvin York, Major Charles Whittlesey of the Lost Battalion, and Lieutenant Sam Woodfill―all accomplished in the midst of this maelstrom―echo across the ages. Published to coincide with the centennial of the campaign, this engaging book offers a fresh look at the battle that forged the modern US Army. The theme of the book is "what you do in life echoes across the generations" and with that in mind, "Thunder in the Argonne" describes the feats of heroism on the battlefield in 1918 and how it impacted later generations.

Strategist

The Army Chief of Staff, General Ray Odierno (right) with Colonel Douglas Mastriano

Mastriano is a strategist with expertise in Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. He is a prolific writer on NATO, deterring Russia and the defense of the Baltic nations (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). Mastriano has supported six NATO exercises in the Baltic Region since 2014 and published ten articles on this subject. He also served as the lead contributor and editor of two major book length United States Army studies in support of a tasking from the Army Chief of Staff, General Ray Odierno. These studies involved a multinational and joint service team to provide the United States with viable options on how to maintain the peace in Northern and Eastern Europe. These include an extensive analysis of the threat that Putin's Russia poses for the United States and its European Allies, particularly Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. He has led several studies on this subject, making recommendations on how to best deter Russian aggression and assure our Baltic Allies. The most significant studies are "Project 1721" and "Project 1704."

Colonel Douglas Mastriano and Rasa Jukneviciene, a Member of Parliament and former Lithuanian Minister of Defense

Mastriano's introduction of Project 1721 (published in 2017) states

Rasa Jukneviciene, a Member of Parliament and former Lithuanian Minister of Defense, brilliantly stated, “The biggest provocation for Putin is empty security promises. Lithuania’s policy in 1940 was not to provoke Stalin and Russia. Look at what that got us.” The Baltic Nations had a policy of not provoking the Soviet Union in the late 1930s and in 1940. History demonstrated that weakness encouraged aggression. In 1940, Stalin demanded that Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania open their borders to the Red Army, which they did, in an endeavor not to provoke or antagonize Moscow. This weakness resulted in the invasion and occupation of these lands that within a year would suffer unimaginable horror and deprivations at the hands of Moscow. This is yet another example of appeasement inviting aggression. The idea that inaction and weakness is a reasonable course of action for the United States and NATO is a hazardous and dangerous approach that historically has only resulted in costly and bloody wars. Indeed, the “costs to deter Russia now is far cheaper than the costs later,” as “Russia always goes for the weak one.” “There is a race for the Baltics; the side which comes first with substantial forces will prevail. To prevent conflict, there must be strength and resolve.” If NATO acts with determination, war can be averted and peace preserved. However, the window of opportunity for the Allies is closing. The emerging Russian “strategy of ambiguity” is a direct threat to the NATO Alliance. Yet, it can be deterred now with resolve and a modest forward deployment of American forces in the region. The United States can change the calculus in the region and avert a perilous move by Russia with a simple commitment of a brigade in the Baltic Region. NATO has an opportunity to prevent the unthinkable from happening. [14]

H.R. McMaster, the U.S. National Security Adviser with the Mastriano Family

Mastriano's introduction of Project 1704 states:

The strategic calculus changed in Europe with the 2014 Russian seizure of Crimea and its ongoing war against Ukraine. Compounding the dilemma of an aggressive Russia, is the application of ambiguity to create a cloak of uncertainty that prevents a decisive response to counter its destabilizing activities. However, this application of ambiguity is easily defeated, if nations are willing to take concerted efforts now to preempt and deter further Russian aggression. Project 1704 provides an honest assessment of the tenuous strategic environment that now envelopes Eastern Europe and offers specific recommendations on how to continue the 70 years of unparalleled peace that most of Europe has enjoyed.[15]

In the recently released Project 1721, Mastriano writes,

Latvian President Raimonds Vējonis with Colonel Doug Mastriano in Riga, Latvia

"The armed forces of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania must be capable, survivable and maneuverable. This is why acquiring mid to long-range weapons could make these nations less appetizing to Moscow. If attacked, these offensive weapon systems could wreak havoc to Russian command and control nodes, transportation hubs and disrupt the movement of Russian forces. This would provide the Baltic nations a credible military capability and a 'capacity to deter by denial as well as to deter by punishment.'”[16]

Baltic Map

"Concurrently, the U.S. should help reduce anxieties of our allies by stationing robust military assets in the region. This would increase the scope and scale of the forces in the region to complement USAREUR’s campaign plan of making “30,000 American Soldiers look like 300,000”. The genius of USAREUR’s plan is to blend the Active Army with the Army National Guard and Army Reserve to support the European Theater. The exercises conducted in the region must be expanded in size and scope. Part of this expansion is what should be called DEFORTIC (Deploy Forces to the Baltics). Using the Return Forces to Germany (REFORGE) from the Cold War, the goal is to have units rapidly fly soldiers into the region to use the American equipment already staged there. This reduces the arrival time of “over the horizon” forces considerably. Finally, the key to forward defense of NATO includes permanently stationing American and NATO forces in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This force should be a three-brigade element, one in each nation. Estonia should have a mechanized American Brigade Combat Team, Latvia a regional Baltic Brigade that should include forces from Sweden and Finland (if they are willing to participate as non-NATO partners). The brigade in Lithuania should be a multi-national NATO force permanently stationed in the Suwalki Gap. Keeping this gap open is imperative to prevent any ideas in Moscow that it could easily cut this essential land route from the rest of NATO."[17]

This three-brigade model for the Baltic nations borrows from the Berlin Brigade concept from the Cold War. Although the American, British and French Brigades stationed in West Berlin could not stop a Soviet invasion, these served as a guarantee that should there be an attack, three powerful nations would fight to defend Germany. Additionally, these brigades would make their task bloody and difficult to accomplish. Simply put the cost / benefit analysis would be too high for Moscow to try a violent seizure of West Berlin. This is the same end desired for the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Should Putin set his gaze on an area of the Baltics with a high ethnic Russian population, the question is if NATO act quickly enough to assure to deter Russian aggression? For example, Narva, Estonia, is more than 80% ethnic Russian. Should Putin’s strategy of ambiguity be attempted, would the United States be willing to risk New York for Narva? Indeed, the lack of an adequate forward force presence makes such an eventuality sadly feasible. However, should the United States and NATO embrace the three-brigade concept resident in the region, the calculus for a Russian ambiguous attack on Narva, Estonia is to the West’s advantage. A forward US Army Brigade deployed in Estonia, reverses the strategic calculus from is New York worth Narva, to, is Narva worth Moscow as American troops would be there supporting the Estonian Army. This would not be a replay of 1940, as the United States would be there to deter Russian aggression. This is the power of a modest forward presence of American and other NATO ground soldiers deployed permanently in the Baltic Region. It changes everything from a strategic point of view."[18]

"The emerging Russian “strategy of ambiguity” is a direct threat to the NATO Alliance. Yet, it can be defeated now with resolve, and a modest forward deployment of American forces in the region. A rotational brigade is a start, but not the final answer. The United States can change the calculus in the region and avert a risky move by Russia with a simple commitment of a brigade in the Baltic Region. NATO has an opportunity to act now, to prevent the unthinkable from happening later. There is a Russian “Sword of Damocles” hanging over the Baltic Region, yet the feeling of impending doom can be blunted by the physical commitment of NATO land-power to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania."[19]

Mastriano is regarded as the lead thinker on Russian strategy in Northern Europe (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and has spoken in Washington, D.C., across the United States as well as across Europe on this timely topic. He helped NATO formulate a strategy to deter Russian aggression against its Eastern and Northern European members. [20]

Congressional Candidate

Mastriano announced that he is running for the Pennsylvania 9th District's Congressional seat being vacated by the retiring Bill Shuster. He made the announcement of his candidacy on 13 February 2018 at the Otterbein Church in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.[21] Mastriano is campaigning as an outsider, with the slogan, "I fought for you in Iraq, I fought for you in Afghanistan and will fight for you in Washington, DC." He said that he felt duty bound to take this step due to the distressing condition of the state and the nation. In an interview with a news outlet, Mastriano said, “I was barraged by people at the local level who thought I’d be a good candidate. They told me, ‘We know you can’t be bought,’ Mastriano said that when he does speaking engagements, he encourages people to get involved and make a difference. “I was eating my own words,” he said. “It is an interesting and dark time in American history and I felt duty bound to step up and try to make a difference.”[22]

Mastriano said during the Congressional announcement rally, “2018 is our year... to get back our voice. For far too long, the money of lobbyists has carried more weight in government than the priceless ideas of our Constitution. I am not in the pocket of special interests or lobbyists. I will fight for you in Washington. It’s time to take back our government and restore the greatness of America. Now is our time to take action. The time is, now for the good people of Pennsylvania to say ‘no’ to the darkness… ‘no’ to the elite ruling class,” stated Mastriano. “It’s time to get the government off of our backs and out of our wallets.[23] Today, February 13, 2018, I hereby formally announce my candidacy for Congress in the 9th Pennsylvania District.”[24]

Mastriano for Congress Logo

Mastriano's advantage is that none of the candidates have any foreign policy experience, which adds to the dangers that the nation faces in these uncertain times of a rising Iran, North Korea, reemerging Russia and China. Mastriano is considered an expert on Russia and the NATO security situation in Eastern and Northern Europe. He also has extensive foreign policy experience in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.[25]

Personal life

Mastriano Family

Mastriano's spouse is Rebecca Stewart. They have one son named Josiah.[2] The family resides in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, close to where Rebecca's ancestors settled in 1732.

Mastriano is a devout Christian.[7]

His father served in the Navy.[2]
