On September 11, 2001, CAPT Tony Barnes was serving at the White House Military Office as Deputy Director of Presidential Contingency Programs. As part of a small cadre of military leaders, he directed operations from inside the White House during the most critical crisis in modern American history.  

In Part 1 of this episode of The Briefing Room, Matt Bowman interviews CAPT Barnes as he  shares his experience navigating the White House on 9/11—an operational response that earned him the Defense Superior Service Medal for exemplary performance under extreme circumstances.  He also reflects on his 31-year Naval career, spanning time as a Naval Flight Officer, commanding Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Squadron 16, serving as Commodore for Navy Recruiting Region Central, and acting as Chief Diversity Officer at the U.S. Naval Academy.
