Leslie Reigart

Rear Admiral Leslie McMahon Reigart, USN (Ret.) is a former commanding officer. In 1995, Lieutenants Chris Burnett and Jeremy Stackhouse were shot down behind enemy lines during a reconnaissance mission flight that went horribly wrong.

Earlier after the crash, Stackhouse was killed and Burnett was left alone to fend for himself. With many obstacles in his way to rescuing Burnett, Reigart was faced with multiple choices that left Burnett constantly without aid.

Reigart eventually decided that it was worth losing his command to rescue Burnett and with the help of members of the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy, Reigart rescued Burnett, who retrieved the reconnaissance photographs.

Reigart was reassigned to an administrative job in Washington, D.C., but decided instead to retire instead from a long career in the Navy, keeping the respect and gratitude of the men and women under his command.
