AIRLAND INTEGRATION: 7th Brigade tested its ability to quickly deploy overseas during the Royal Australian Air Force Exercise Mobility Bluegum. A key component was the integration of @AusAirForce Air Mobility Group and Army's Ready Brigade, the 7th Brigade. Elements included infantry, 155mm artillery, Protected Mobility Vehicles and communications. The force projection demonstration tested the participants’ ability to rapidly deploy combat forces and equipment over continental and oceanic distances – employing an intermediate staging base to remote overseas territories. This year’s joint planning validated the ability of AMG and 7 Brigade to execute tactical air-land operations in challenging and time-sensitive scenarios.

1AR conducted our Cambrai Parade on 17 Nov. The parade was excellent. The vehicles and the crews were sharp - ensuring that the Cambrai Parade reputation as the finest mounted parade that army conducts, is still true. @FORCOMDAusArmy @COMD9Bde #cambrai #tank

@FMcL2020 I’m disappointed that you are sending out ill-informed messages. It’s not helpful, and while you have moved on from Defence, your voice still travels. Your positive voice for the soldiers and officers would be much more helpful.

I don’t think this will be the biggest story in Canberra today but it seems 7 RAR and 1 Armd will be effectively disbanded. Missile forces were already planned but now taken from hide. Missile force for Adelaide as combat troops go north theaustralian.com.au/nation/defence…

5 multi-nat partners over 4 comb arms ex’s in 2 countries makes for 1 amazing time in the Regt! Last month the Regt has deployed to Indon for #SuperGarudaShield. At home, we conducted Ex PARATUS CUP & trained with the Malaysian AF and 7 RAR. @FORCOMDAusArmy @DefenceAust

#ExerciseGarudaShield 2023 was an outstanding exercise. From observing the Amphib landing to CALFEX. Hungry for more! Well done to our men and women of the #AusArmy contingent. I’m so very proud to be a part of the team here in Indonesia. #YourADF
