I received a target indication from one of the rear team members and observed movement coming from the left of the area of engagement. I then saw them, two enemy fighters moving to a new position. I must have let rip about twenty rounds and not one of the rounds hit them. I had missed completely!

“You shit shot,” swearing at myself under my breath. My teeth were clenched and I was pissed off at my own incapability with a rifle, however, I realised I had a primarily role to play and that was as the Platoon JTAC.

Havoc-06 is the call sign of former Australian Combat Controller, Troy Knight. As a Royal Australian Air Force Airfield Defence Guard, Troy had not found the military adventure he sought; combat operations. His thirst for overseas deployment saw him privately contract his services in Iraq and South East Asia, but when he got whiff that the Australian Defence Force was raising a new defence capability, he couldn’t help but want to be part of it.

The new Defence capability, termed the ‘Special Tactics Project,’ would see Troy undertaking the gruelling Commando Selection course and passing, making him one of Australia’s first Combat Controllers attached to the Australian Army 2nd Commando Regiment.

As a member of the Special Forces unit, Troy’s lifelong dream of taking part in combat operations would come to fruition, but the reality of his dream would also play havoc on his life.

Havoc-06 is the untold story of the Australian Combat Controller, but it is also Troy’s personal story and one that will resonate with so many.©2022 Troy Knight (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd Armed Forces Military Military & War Special & Elite Forces Dream Air Force Combat Controller

Any audio book needs two things, a good author & then the person who actually reads it. To me, this is an honest account of life in the Australian special forces & not an American accent to be heard anywhere! A great yarn bought to life by the narrator, John Stretton who, I thought did a 5* top job of relating how Knighty was feeling especially when two close buddies were killed (had a wee lump in my throat). Stress, combat & alcohol all took it's toll. Unfortunately for me, the end of the book came to sudden stop & kinda left me hanging. I would've liked to have found out how life panned out for Knighty post forces. Anyway I hope he's ok & living his best life. 5 stars.

Loved it
