From May 8 to 14, 2005, Stann led his men into battle, where their mission was to seize a bridge near Karabilah, Iraq. Three different times he negotiated four kilometers to maintain their position from enemy attacks. However, on the third time through, the enemy had set up an ambush for the Marines.
Although ambushed, Stann called in close air support and direct fire from tanks while taking on more than 30 rocket-propelled grenade attacks, multiple machine-gun fire, and as improvised explosive devices detonated. "When we began, it was a big fight, but as it days went on, we began to use more of our assets," Stann explained. "We called in close air support and used tanks and dealt a big blow to the enemy."
Stann was in a 360-degree fight and set up casualty evacuation points after they were hit by suicide IEDs. All of this would not have been possible if it were not for the hard work of his men in the sheer face of danger, explained Stann. His main goal was to bring his entire group of Marines home from Iraq. "you can forget all the other medals. I just wanted the award that said 42 out of 42 men came home safely," Stann explained. "And we all came home, so mission accomplished."

Stann Brings Big Guns Against Zellner! 6/6/07
All American Brian Stann won a silver star for extraordinary heroism while leading a Marine platoon fighting in Iraq in 2005. If he continues as he has been in mixed martial arts, he soon may wear the gold of a championship belt. Stann was impressive Sunday in his biggest pro fight, stopping former WWE star Craig Zellner at 4:57 of the first round of a light heavyweight bout at the Hard Rock Hotel. The victory improved Stann to an undefeated 4-0, all by first round KO. Stann and Zellner spent most of the round trading punches, but Stann was both quicker and the harder puncher. He knocked Zellner down after a back-and-forth exchange and went to the ground-and-pound. "I hit him and I saw his head kind of wobble," Stann said. "I knew I had stunned him before, and I figured, 'Hey, this is the time. Suck it up. Put him out. Win the fight right now.' That's what I did."
