On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with former Australian Special Forces soldier Scott Ryder from the 2nd Commando Regiment and Author of “Forged in Fire : An Australian commando’s story of life and death on the frontline”

Scott served 22 years with the Australian Army, after enlisting as a paratrooper and deploying to East Timor with 3 RAR, Scott attempted special forces selection, passed and completed special forces training to become an operator at the 2nd Commando Regiment spending 16 years as an operator in the unit. He served in East Timor and multiple tours of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Forged in Fire takes us inside the secretive world of the commandos. Ryder shares battlefield stories from his tours to Afghanistan, where his regiment saw some of the heaviest fighting Australian forces have experienced since the Vietnam War. Scott was seriously injured in a helicopter crash on 21 June 2010 in Northern Kandahar, Afghanistan which claimed the lives of 3 Australian Commandos and a United States of America soldier.  They were among 10 Australians from the Special Operations Task Group on the coalition forces helicopter when it crashed in rugged terrain

After being seriously injured in the Black Hawk helicopter crash in Kandahar, he was the only survivor to return to active service.
