On 24 August 2010 Jared was part of a 35 strong Australian force from D Company 6RAR, mentoring Afghan National Army troops on a fighting patrol in Afghanistan.  The patrol deployed from forward base Anar Joy in the Tangi Valley in Uruzgan Province Afghanistan, about 20 kilometres west of Tarin Kowt. The troops engaged the Taliban at the village of Derapet and Jared was ordered to lead his men up a hill to set up a machine gun overlooking the combat zone.  During the engagement, Jared was fatally wounded by a single gunshot. Jared was on his fourth deployment which was his second to Afghanistan.
Jared was an outstanding soldier; he was very competitive and he set very high personal standards which shone throughout his military career. He was fearless to say the least and never let a moment pass him by.  His zest for life was nothing short of inspiring.
