S03E19 | Part 2 - leading Australian Aviation Corps first combat air assault in Afghanistan and why he started Cor Infinitus - building monuments to recognise those who served the country and have taken their own lives.
In this second part of our conversation with Kevin Humphreys DSC, we dive deeper into his extraordinary journey as a helicopter pilot and Army officer, leading the Australian Aviation Corps’ first combat air assault in Afghanistan. Kevin shares the challenges, the decisions under pressure, and the leadership lessons that shaped him during one of the most pivotal moments in modern Australian military history.
This episode also explores Kevin’s mission beyond the cockpit: founding COR INFINITUS, an initiative dedicated to honouring and supporting veterans and their families impacted by suicide. Kevin explains why creating monuments and meaningful recognition is vital to remembering those who have served and the sacrifices they’ve made, and how this work fuels his ongoing commitment to breaking the stigma around mental illness.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Kevin’s leadership of Australia’s first combat air assault in Afghanistan
- The high-pressure decisions and teamwork required in aviation combat operations
- The story behind COR INFINITUS and its mission to commemorate fallen veterans
- Insights into mental health advocacy, resilience, and supporting veteran families
- How personal and professional experiences combined to drive purpose and action
