He was part of a team sent to capture or kill several high-value members of the Hezb-e Islami al Gulbadin militant group.
Shurer received his bachelor’s degree in business economics from Washington State University where he stayed on to work towards a master’s degree. However, after the Sept. 11th attacks happened, Shurer (inspired by his parents who were both in the Air Force) joined the Army on Nov. 21, 2002.
Two years after enlisting, Shurer began Special Forces training to become a Green Beret. He passed the qualification course in June 2006 and was assigned to the 3rd Special Forces Group.
Shurer deployed to Afghanistan from August 2006 to March 2007, then again from October 2007 to May 2008. It was during that second deployment that he earned his Medal of Honor.
Shurer passed away May 14, 2020, at the age of 41. He is survived by his wife and two sons.

Helikopter masih merupakan sarana transportasi udara yang efisien dan efektif dalam mendukung operasi militer bagi US ARMY, baik sebagai sarana transportasi udara terbatas, sarana evakuasi, maupun sebagai sarana serbu dan bantuan tembakan ke darat.
Program untuk mendapatkan helikopter baru US Army dirasa cukup mendesak untuk menggantikan pesawat helikopter yang dirasa sudah tertinggal secara teknologi, maupun perhitungan dari segi kebutuhan operasional dilapangan.
Untuk itu pihak US ARMY mengajak pihak industri strategis untuk turut aktif dalam program penelitian dan pengembangan guna mendapatkan pesawat helicopter yang cocok untuk mendukung operasi militer.
Untuk mencari rancangan helikopter baru US ARMY dibentuklah program FARA (Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft), yang di canangkan akan selesai pada akhir tahun 2022 ini. Mayor Jenderal US ARMY Wally Rugen – Perwira yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengembangan pesawat vertical masa depan US ARMY.
Program FARA ini juga untuk mengisi kekosongan helikopter baru US Army yang selama ini dilaksanakan oleh helicopter serbu AH-64 Apache didampingi (teamed) oleh drone Shadow, setelah helicopter OH-58D Kiowa Warrior di pensiunkan.
Pada program helikopter baru US Army ini pihak Lockheed Martin dan Bell bersaing head-to-head guna membuat purwa-rupa dan pesawat contoh yang rencananya akan di terbangkan pada bulan Nopember 2022 mendatang. Selanjutnya, pihak US ARMY akan menentukan mana prototype helikopter yang akan dipilih.
