Justin Allen

Justin Allen was commissioned as a U.S. Army Infantry Officer through Officer Candidate
School in 2011. Following his commission, he completed multiple training programs, including
Infantry School, Ranger School, and Airborne School, before being assigned to Fort Hood,
Texas.

In 2015, Justin met Drew Ross at the beginning of the Special Forces Qualification Course,
forming a strong friendship that would last throughout their time together. While at Fort Bragg,
they completed multiple course alongside each other including the Special Operations Captain
Career Course, Small Unit Tactics, the Detachment Commander Course, and Robin Sage. Their
bond was forged through shared experiences in both their professional and personal lives.

After completing the qualification course, Justin and Drew maintained close contact, especially
as their units were scheduled to rotate in and out of Afghanistan—Drew's unit (3rd Special
Forces Group) was set to replace Justin's unit (1st Special Forces Group) in the fall of 2018.

During his time in the Army, Justin served in various leadership roles, ultimately serving as
Detachment Commander of ODA 1215 from July 2017 to June 2020. As a Detachment
Commander, he led two deployments to Afghanistan, where he led operations against ISIS and
Taliban forces in Nangarhar and Helmand Provinces.

In 2020, Justin transitioned out of the Army and pursued an MBA from Northwestern University,
focusing on entrepreneurship and finance. He is now a Partner at VictoryBase, a company
dedicated to providing superior housing near military bases. VictoryBase enables renters to
become investors, allowing them to build wealth for their futures. The company currently
operates in two military markets, with plans to expand to every major military base in the U.S.
