Our guest on Pod #012 is Tim Miller who completed a tour as BC of 4/73 Bty. On this podcast we discuss why he joined the Army, his time with the unit and the challenges he faced in keeping STA patrols relevant in an ever changing world. The main focus of the episode is on the Long Range Desert Group. A specialist unit who pioneered long range operations in that difficult environment and were much more than a taxi service for an embryonic SAS. This episode is a precursor to a future pod on STA patrols in Afghanistan where they carried out some of the longest desert patrols since WW2. We finish with Tim's book choice on Desert Island dits Undercover War by Harry McCallion. His film choice is Where Eagles Dare. The teams book choices this episode are My Friend The Mercenary by James Brabazon and The Jungle Is Neutral by F Spencer Chapman .Find out about the current serving unit at STA Patrols Special Observer.Follow us:Instagram @the_unconventional_soldier_pod.Facebook @lateo82.
