Welcome back to After Action: Stories of the Diplomatic Security Service.

In this second episode, we get to hear from DSS Director Carlos Matus as he recalls some historic moments of his career, and “rites of passage” for many DSS agents. From protecting some of the most notable Secretaries of State and serving at high-threat diplomatic posts to a nearly fatal event in Latin America, his experiences, missions, and remarkable career are stories you don’t want to miss.
