The Australian SAS: The Untold History

Part 11: Fighting the Asymmetric War

In 2001 and 2003 SASR captures illegal shipping on the high seas. In 2003 it spearheads the invasion of IRAQ before returning in 2006 to asymmetric warfare in Afghanistan. The series concludes with reflections on SAS veterans' long-term health, the global threat to food security, the possible tasking of SASR against narcotics and its deployment across the entire strategic spectrum of an increasingly troubled, complex world.
