About this listen

Navy radio operator Suzy Wilson was one of seven Australian women who became the first to serve in a combat zone during the Gulf War, breaking a significant military barrier. Wilson, now serving as an ambassador for first Gulf War veterans, reflects on her groundbreaking deployment and the evolution of women's roles in the Australian Defence Force. Lieutenant General Susan Coyle's appointment as head of the Defence Force in 2026 represents the significant progress made since Wilson's pioneering service.
