Friends & Allies – General Sir Michael Rose

In this episode we follow Rose from his birth in Quetta, India – now in Pakistan, into his career through the ranks of the British military. He served in Britain and Northern Ireland with the Army, Air-Force and the Special Air Service. The famous live-on-television operation against six Arab terrorists holding hostages in the Iranian embassy in London made him a national hero. His actions in the Falklands cemented his reputation, and elevated the status of the SAS. Having trained Artic-Warfare with the SAS in the mountains alongside Norwegian Special Forces, Rose has a special relationship with Norway. Later, as Force Commander of the UNPROFOR-mission during the Balkan-war, he made an effort to fulfill the UN-resolution and secure necessary humanitarian aid to civilians. One of these operations included the NorAir detachment, a Norwegian helicopter squadron, who were well suited to operating in the cold and dark conditions.
