Jeremy Jason Wise (February 20, 1974 – December 30, 2009) was an American Navy SEAL and Central Intelligence Agency contractor. He was killed in a suicide bombing at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost, Afghanistan on December 30, 2009.

Wise was born in 1974 to Dr. Jean and Mary Wise in Camden, Arkansas.^[1] He grew up in southern Arkansas, Hope, Arkansas,^[2] where he attended Westside Christian School in El Dorado. He later graduated from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas.^[1]

Wise joined the United States Navy in 2001 and served as a Navy SEAL on a special-warfare team until September 2009, when he left the service.^[1] His career included multiple deployments and specialized missions. After leaving the Navy, Wise worked as a security contractor for the CIA in Afghanistan.^[3] On December 30, 2009, Wise was killed in the Camp Chapman attack at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost, Afghanistan. The bombing was carried out by Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double agent.^[4]

Wise's death was part of a series of tragic events for his family. His brother, Benjamin Wise, a Green Beret, died in Afghanistan in January 2012 from injuries sustained in combat.^[5][6] Another brother, Beau Wise, also served in the U.S. military as a Marine and was subsequently removed from combat zones by the military as a precaution, making him the only known service member to be pulled from combat, in the Sole Survivor Policy, after losing two brothers in the Global War on Terror.^[7]

Wise was married and had one child at the time of his death.^[1] Wise's name is inscribed on the CIA Memorial Wall, which honors agency personnel who have died in the line of duty. Hendrix College named their football stadium "Young-Wise Memorial Stadium" to honor the Wise brothers.^[8] A book entitled The Three Wise Men tells the story of the Wise family's sacrifice.^[9]

After his death, the Wise family sued HSBC, alleging that the bank violated federal anti-terrorism laws through its financial dealings with banks tied to al-Qaeda, including Iran's Bank Melli and Bank Saderat, and Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank. The lawsuit was linked to the Camp Chapman Attack, carried out by al-Qaeda. However, the court of appeals dismissed the case, finding insufficient evidence to directly connect HSBC's actions to the attack.^[10]
