A FORMER Australian soldier has been jailed for nine months in the US for his role in a $US900,000 ($1.03million) Afghanistan security contract kickback scandal.

Scott Anthony Walker, 36, told a US District Court judge on Friday he was sorry and took responsibility for his actions.

After leaving the Army, Walker had gone to Afghanistan seeking wealth in the private sector. He took a job as security co-ordinator in Kabul with engineering companies Louis Berger Group and Black & Veatch.

The companies in joint venture won a $US1.4billion US government contract. Walker used his position on a committee to try to solicit $US900,000 in kickbacks from private security vendors seeking subcontracts.
