Dawn.
19 July 1972
. A force of nearly three hundred heavily armed, well-trained guerrillas launches a surprise attack on the small fishing village of Mirbat. All that stands in their way is a troop of just
nine SAS,
aided only by an elite band of fighter pilots overhead.
Two years earlier a Communist rebellion had threatened the Arabian Peninsula, in the strategically critical
Sultanate of Oman
. Following a covert intelligence mission,
22 SAS
deployed their largest ever assault force against the rebels.
But this was to be a bitter and hard-fought campaign culminating the
Battle of Mirbat
which would become a defining moment for the Regiment. Their heroism that day would remain part of the SAS legend for ever.
