True Blue Conversations - Australian Special Forces 2nd Commando Regiment operator John Dixon
2024-05-20
On this week’s podcast, I speak with former Australian Special Forces 2nd Commando Regiment operator John Dixon.
John spent 16 years in the Australian Army. During his postings at 1RAR and 6RAR, he deployed to East Timor which gave him an introduction to military active deployments. After completing SF selection and the Commando reinforcement cycle, John was posted to Bravo Company 4RAR Commando now the 2CDO regiment. He was soon deployed as a special forces operator to Afghanistan on a SOTG (Special Operations Task Group) on his first combat deployment he was on ground the in
2007 the night when Luke Worsley was KIA. After this first deployment, John went on to further highly kinetic operations in Afghanistan in assault teams and as a sniper. He deployed to Iraq in 2015 and the Philippines before discharging the
military in 2016. We spoke about the hard transition that all veterans and first responders face when they leave service and finding purpose again after service.
