Havoc-06 : A Combat Controller on Operations

"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, 297pp, b&w photos. Light wear to card edges, 1.5cm crease across top free corner of rear cover; a very good copy. Havoc-06 is the call sign of former Australian Combat Controller, Troy Knight. As a Royal Australian Air Force Airfield Defence Guard, Troy had not found the military adventure he sought; combat operations. His thirst for overseas deployment saw him privately contract his services in Iraq and South East Asia, but when he heard that the Australian Defence Force was raising a new defence capability, he wanted to be part of it. The new Defence capability, termed the ‘Special Tactics Project,’ would see Troy undertaking the gruelling Commando Selection course and passing, making him one of Australia’s first Combat Controllers attached to the Australian Army 2nd Commando Regiment.
