On today's Zero Limits Podcast I am joined in the studio by Mark Direen former SASR Australian Special Forces operator.
Mark enlisted into the military in 1993 and after completing infantry training he was posted to the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.
Mark applied for, and was selected to join the elite ranks of the Australian Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment. Serving in the SAS for over 10 years, Mark specialised in mobility operations, sniping, personal protection duties, special reconnaissance and training of local indigenous forces. With numerous deployments during his service in the Special Forces including Sydney Olympic Games, East Timor, Iraq and five tours of Afghanistan, Mark has extensive experience and knowledge in operating under pressure, working in and leading teams in some of the world’s most hostile and unforgiving environments.
In 2007, while serving as an operational team leader in Afghanistan, Mark
suffered serious injuries during an IED attack. Evacuated home to Australia, Mark focused intently on his recovery and rehabilitation. Displaying his trademark determination and tenacity, Mark successfully made a full return to health and deployed back to Afghanistan just six months later.
Discharging from the Regular Army in 2009, Mark continued to work in
complex and high-risk environments, namely as a team leader and security manager at the Australian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan during the period 2009 to 2016.
Mark is now Director of Point Assist, a unique company specialising in adventure travel, physical safety and self-improvement. His 25-year career in the military, security and adventure travel fields have given him the unique skill set and experience to provide practical solutions to the most complex and challenging situations across military, government, corporate and private sectors.
