Elements of Australia’s 1 Sqn, SASR entered Iraq on 18th March 2003 hunting Scud missiles and may well have fired the first shots of the war deep in the west of the country.
Early in the war Australian SAS troopers were regularly fighting running battles with Iraqi soldiers.

this is beautiful!
Platatac makes great smocks, I own… a number of them, but the combination of their manufacturing prowess and their attention to detail ensures this will be a quality piece that’s just as functional as it is cool.
Love every piece of Platatac gear I’ve accumulated over the years.
I have an original of this one – love the little touches here like the silk E&E map and deck of cards.
Now to sew my own coins in . . .
