About: Matt Eversmann

Matthew Eversmann (born 1967) is a US Army Ranger and was the leader of Chalk 4 during the Battle of Mogadishu. The October 3, 1993 mission was his first time leading a group in combat. In the movie Black Hawk Down his role was a main character played by Josh Hartnett. Contrary to the movie though, Eversmann was picked up by and fought alongside the "Lost Convoy," not the ground assault to the downed helicopters (a role taken by U.S. Army Rangers Tom DiTomasso and Larry Perino).
