Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza has collaborated with director Alex Garland, known for movies like “Civil War” and “Ex Machina”, on a new project titled “Warfare”. Both of them have co-written and co-directed this film. In November 2006, during a dangerous reconnaissance mission in Ramadi province, Iraq, Mendoza was part of a Navy SEAL team. A tragic incident occurred when al-Qaeda forces hurled a grenade into their midst, injuring two SEALs. One of the injured SEALs was sniper and medic Elliott Miller (portrayed in the film by Cosmo Jarvis). Miller sustained severe wounds, along with another SEAL (Joseph Quinn), when an IED detonated outside the building as they were being evacuated.
