The SASR Pulled Back Under Fire. One Operator Turned Around and Ran 80 Metres Back Into It
The SASR Pulled Back Under Fire. One Operator Turned Around and Ran 80 Metres Back Into It. The element had pulled back. The fire was sustained, the position was compromised, and the call to withdraw was the right call. Then one operator turned around. Eighty metres of open ground, back toward the contact, back toward the fire, for a reason the men behind him understood immediately and the men in front of him couldn't see yet. What he did in those eighty metres — and what he found when he got there — is the kind of account that ends up in citation paperwork. The kind that uses language like "complete disregard for his own safety" because there is no other language that fits. JOIN THE DISCUSSION: There's a line between tactical decision-making and something else entirely. What separates an operator who turns back from one who doesn't — training, instinct, or something that can't be taught at all? Leave your take below.
