On this episode of the Zero Limits Podcast, Matty Morris sits down with Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG, a former Australian Special Air Service Regiment soldier and recipient of the Victoria Cross for Australia and Medal for Gallantry.

Ben enlisted in the Australian Army in 1996 and began his career with the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. During his time with 3RAR, he completed two operational tours of East Timor, including the Australian-led INTERFET mission in 1999, as well as two deployments to Malaysia with Rifle Company Butterworth.

After completing SASR selection in 2003 and the regiment’s reinforcement training, Ben joined 3 Squadron. His service included counterterrorism duties with Tactical Assault Group West, operations off Fiji in 2004, and Iraq throughout 2005 and 2006.

Ben went on to complete six deployments to Afghanistan, serving in roles including patrol scout, sniper, patrol second-in-command and patrol commander. He was awarded the Medal for Gallantry for his actions in Afghanistan in 2006 and the Victoria Cross in 2011 for his actions during the battle of Tizak in June 2010, when he assaulted enemy machine-gun positions while members of his troop were pinned down under fire.
