SASR Held Roberts Ridge While Rangers Were Pinned. They Filed Nothing. The Pentagon Wrote 40 Pages.
SASR Held Roberts Ridge While the Rangers Were Pinned. Filed Nothing. The Pentagon Wrote a Report. Roberts Ridge was one of the most brutal engagements of the Afghan war. When US Rangers were pinned and the situation was deteriorating, the SASR held the line — absorbing pressure that the broader force couldn't manage — and kept the ridge until the contact was resolved. They submitted no formal account of what they'd done. The Pentagon produced a detailed internal report. That document, which circulated inside US special operations command, laid out in precise terms what the Australians had contributed and what the outcome would likely have been without them. The Australians, as usual, said nothing publicly. JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Roberts Ridge is well documented on the American side. Does the SASR's silence on their own role reflect operational culture — or something the Australian public deserves to know more about? Leave your take below.
