| Summary |
The 'long peace' ended suddenly in 1999 with SAS sent as an anti-guerrilla force to East Timor. The SAS CT Squadron seized the vessels Tampa, South Tomi and Pong Su at sea. After 9/11 SAS joined the Coalition in Afganistan searching for Osama bin Laden. In Operation Anaconda in 2002 an SAS patrol turned defeat into victory. In 2003 SAS joined the invasion of Iraq to change the regime. From 2005 to 2014 Afganistan was again destabilised and SAS and US Special Forces fought an asymmetric war, ravaging the Taliban command structure. In 2015, with the rise of the brutal ISIS caliphate, SAS faces a busy future. -- disc packaging |
