Thank you to the Royal United Services Institute - Queensland for allowing me to speak with you last week in Brisbane. Also an absolute privilege to stand shoulder-to-shoulder again with soldiers from @25_49RQR! @RUSI_org

Good luck to the All Corps Captains Course with your upcoming assessments. Pleasure to come and discuss #OneArmy and provide my thoughts on being a good staff officer. @ChiefAusArmy @comdforcomd

What an opportunity to be a part of Melbourne University Regiment's parade today at the Shrine of Remembrance! @cityofmelbourne @RSMFORCOMD @kim_felmingham

Absolutely fantastic visit to Day 1 of Ex Jacka Walk over the weekend - on the path to Ready #TotalForce #OneArmy @kim_felmingham @Comd4Bde @COMD9Bde @Comd_1st_Bde @comdforcomd

Yesterday marked a historic event for the @AustralianArmy with the establishment of the Regional Force Surveillance Group as a formation. The parade reaffirmed our ongoing commitment to national sovereignty, border security & Indigenous Australians. #ArmyInMotion #OneArmy

Part-Time soldier CPL Conway briefs 4/19 PWLH, 3/9 SAMR and 1 ARMD REGT Full-Time and Part-Time soldiers on dismounted drills and SOP's at Ex Predators Run. Now that's a Total Force Concept.

Today we remember the understrength and battle weary men of the 2nd Australian Division who 100 years ago fought in the Battle of Mont St Quentin. #AusArmy #ArmyInMotion

A truly thought provoking discussion with LTG Hokanson regarding the @USNationalGuard and the @AustralianArmy #TotalForce. @ChiefNGB @ChiefAusArmy @kim_felmingham

Silence and respect at Arlington Cemetery. @kim_felmingham @RSMAusArmy @ChiefAusArmy

It is important to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our brothers and sisters in past conflicts. Humbled to serve in their footsteps. @kim_felmingham @RSMAusArmy @ChiefAusArmy

An honour and a privilege to meet with ABCANZ Reserve leaders recently to share experiences and knowledge for the benefit of all. #OneArmy #ArmyinMotion @kim_felmingham @ChiefAusArmy @DepChiefAusArmy

The Hawaii National Guard is a first-rate Part Time organisation that consistently solves critical incidents with distinction. An absolute pleasure to visit and learn more about their capability. #MissionFirst @kim_felmingham @HawaiiTAG

9th Mission Support Command generates combat ready forces for mobilisation and deployment across the Pacific. A pleasure to meet with such a realistic and professional organisation that maintains a contingency mindset. #PrideofthePacific @kim_felmingham @9thMSC

Thanks for the excellent support recently from Ambassador Jane Hardy and the Honolulu Consul General team. Great strategic discussion on the conceptual nexus of hard and soft power. @kim_felmingham @ChiefAusArmy

I wish to thank @ChiefAusArmy, @comdforcomd, @COMD3BDE and @17CSSBDE for your contributions to the 2018 2 DIV CO / RSM Conference. Always a privilege to hear your thoughts on our future as a Total Force. @RSMAusArmy @kim_felmingham @RSMFORCOMD @RSM3BDE #OneArmy #TotalForce

I have a lot of coins in my collection, but none more special than the one @CO25_49RQR presented to me yesterday. BG Canaan, 13 Bde, 11 Bde and 3 Bde are and will remain one team #teamwork #respect

Thanks Greg. Looking forward to listening to the #LessonsfromHamel podcast episode on the Part Time Force out on @covetweet next month. #TotalForce @RSM5BDE @kim_felmingham @CO25_49RQR

Soldiers of 51st Battalion, Far North Queensland Regt are this week learning @AustralianArmy first aid & care of the battle casualty to care for their mates when they’re sick or wounded. Thanks 1 CHB! @embarnett78 #OurTraining @51FNQR @Commander2Div @kim_felmingham @comdforcomd
