| Ty Carter enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on October 13, 1998, and attended the Marine Corps Combat Engineer School. After four years of service, Carter left the Marines and attended community college to study biology. Seeking the sense of purpose he'd had in the military, he joined the U.S. Army as a cavalry scout in January 2008. In May 2009, Carter deployed to Afghanistan with his unit, the Black Knight Troop of the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. The unit was sent to Combat Outpost Keating, one of the country's most vulnerable spots. On the morning of October 3, 2009, which became known as the Battle of Kamdesh, Carter and 52 other American soldiers were woken by the sounds of Taliban fighters firing from high ground on all four sides of Combat Outpost Keating.

Carter ran at least twice through enemy fire to resupply ammunition to his fellow soldiers in a trapped Humvee and stayed with them to defend it. Over the course of several hours armed with only an M4 carbine rifle, Carter prevented their position from being overrun. Despite his wounds, Carter ran through rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire to check on and rescue fallen soldiers. He eventually recovered the squad’s radio, which allowed them to coordinate their evacuation. Carter’s actions were critical to preventing the enemy from capturing the position and saving the lives of his fellow Soldiers. Staff Sgt. Carter received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama during a ceremony at the White House in 2013.
