Gage (Chris's Son) and Tony (Chris's Nephew).
At approximately 10:30 am, June 5, 2004, CIS special operations officer Christopher Neidrich (RAVEN 18) was killed in an ambush near Badghad International Airport. Chris was on temporary assignment in Iraq providing executive protection for American diplomats.
Chris came to CIS in 1993 after being Honorably discharged from the United States Navy. Chris was accepted into the Navy’s prestigious Basic Underwater Demolition School, where he trained to be a Navy SEAL. Due to personal reasons, Chris had to separate from the Navy but still wanted to be apart of an elite force, which brought him to CIS.
While with CIS, Chris served in the SSG division where he was an integral part of what we are today. Chris later transferred into the Executive Protection Division where he was assigned to high profile celebrities, business executives, and a number of other details where he always proved to be a valuable asset to CIS. In December of 2003, Chris was scheduled to certify as an Anti-Terrorism Officer giving him one more identifier as a trained professional; Unfortunately, this was delayed due to his selection by BLACKWATER USA to deploy for assignment in Iraq .
Chris is survived by his 3 year old son Gage Neidrich and his fiancé Angela. Chris will be missed and always remembered as a true warrior that not only spoke about being a professional, but also lived as one.

Two PSC vehicles, a soft skin Suburban (with four occupants: 2 American, 2 Poles) in the lead and an armored Suburban (3 occupants: 1 American, 2 Poles) in the trail, headed toward BIAP from CPA. Past the second bridge, they were approached by two enemy vehicles at a very high rate of speed. SAF from enemy vehicles disabled the lead (softskin) vehicle which almost immediately caught fire. Second (armored) vehicle moved into screening position near disabled vehicle. Armored vehicle had a flat tire and catches fire. Enemy vehicles stop approximately 100 meters away and begin SAF. Occupants of softskin vehicle try to exit- some/all possibly dead or may be near dead at that time. At least one more enemy vehicle possibly two approached and was stopped to the rear of two vehicles and began SAF. At this point with both vehicles disabled, remaining personnel decide to break contact. Depleting all available ammunition, PSC exfilled across highway to oncoming traffic, commandeered a vehicle from local national and are driven to GZ by vehicle owner.

Gage (Chris's Son) and Tony (Chris's Nephew).
At approximately 10:30 am, June 5, 2004, CIS special operations officer Christopher Neidrich (RAVEN 18) was killed in an ambush near Badghad International Airport. Chris was on temporary assignment in Iraq providing executive protection for American diplomats.
Chris came to CIS in 1993 after being Honorably discharged from the United States Navy. Chris was accepted into the Navy’s prestigious Basic Underwater Demolition School, where he trained to be a Navy SEAL. Due to personal reasons, Chris had to separate from the Navy but still wanted to be apart of an elite force, which brought him to CIS.
While with CIS, Chris served in the SSG division where he was an integral part of what we are today. Chris later transferred into the Executive Protection Division where he was assigned to high profile celebrities, business executives, and a number of other details where he always proved to be a valuable asset to CIS. In December of 2003, Chris was scheduled to certify as an Anti-Terrorism Officer giving him one more identifier as a trained professional; Unfortunately, this was delayed due to his selection by BLACKWATER USA to deploy for assignment in Iraq .
Chris is survived by his 3 year old son Gage Neidrich and his fiancé Angela. Chris will be missed and always remembered as a true warrior that not only spoke about being a professional, but also lived as one.

Two PSC vehicles, a soft skin Suburban (with four occupants: 2 American, 2 Poles) in the lead and an armored Suburban (3 occupants: 1 American, 2 Poles) in the trail, headed toward BIAP from CPA. Past the second bridge, they were approached by two enemy vehicles at a very high rate of speed. SAF from enemy vehicles disabled the lead (softskin) vehicle which almost immediately caught fire. Second (armored) vehicle moved into screening position near disabled vehicle. Armored vehicle had a flat tire and catches fire. Enemy vehicles stop approximately 100 meters away and begin SAF. Occupants of softskin vehicle try to exit- some/all possibly dead or may be near dead at that time. At least one more enemy vehicle possibly two approached and was stopped to the rear of two vehicles and began SAF. At this point with both vehicles disabled, remaining personnel decide to break contact. Depleting all available ammunition, PSC exfilled across highway to oncoming traffic, commandeered a vehicle from local national and are driven to GZ by vehicle owner. Four KIA (2 Americans, 2 Poles), three WIA.
