Would any LTC be willing to conduct an email interview with me for a story I am writing about a battalion fighting against an insurgency?

Hello all, I am currently writing a story that follows a Lt. Colonel over seeing a battalion that is fighting against an insurgency within a small region. I’ve read through the military.com description, but it’s a bit vague and frankly I know absolutely nothing about the inner working of the military, so I could use some insight. On that note, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone would be willing conduct an email interview or could help me get in contact with a current or former Lt. Colonel. I know the military is incredibly sensitive about what information they share so if I’m over stepping a boundary, forgive me. If it helps, I can post the questions here if need be.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Well, here is something for you to consider: Are you wanting to speak with an LTC that COMMANDS an Infantry BN, an Engineer BN, a Multi Functional Medical BN, Support BN? I ask because each type (and there are many) has it's own particular goals and end statements in regards to fighting insurgency.
And a food for thought. Officers that are in charge of units are never considered to oversee. They are in command. Company. Battalion. Brigade. Division, etc.. Always in command, never oversee.

I appreciate your response. Let me clarify, I am speaking in term of an LTC that is in command of an infantry BN.

Jack Kaiser first tip. A Lieutenant Colonel doesn't oversee a Battalion. They command a Battalion and lead it in its Missions. If you are talking about an Army Battalion, it is a LTC vice Lt Col. DM your email address so I can make contact and see what we would be doing.

I was in combat, but not in a combat unit. You need to find a Battalion Commander or a Brigade Executive Officer to a Infantry, Artillery, Armor, Air Defense Artillery or Engineer unit.
