The once distant thunder is rapidly approaching…
106 Bty, 4 Regiment, finalising their training on the @AustralianArmy world class self-propelled howitzers.
Their training is transforming 4 Regiment into Army’s Armoured Artillery Regiment delivering unprecedented lethal fires in support of Army’s 3rd Armoured Brigade and the 1st (Australian) Division.
Matching the world’s best platforms with the world’s best soldiers…
King of the battlefield!
View from the window. Another amazing start to the week. Armoured Brigade with an Air Assault ace up the sleeve.
3rd Armoured Brigade Headquarters: the latest in countless teams who have prepared for war in the Australian Army’s sole training area replicating regional terrain - Tully’s ‘green armour.’
The late, great, Brigadier George ‘Warry’ Mansford’s extraordinary and enduring legacy - manifest during 1st (Australian) Division’s Command Post Exercise.
View from the office on ‘Fighting Friday.’
Good ole fashion inspection/readiness check by the Brigade RSM: our master trainer.
‘What is not inspected gets neglected.’
‘I am perfectly certain that this war will be ended by Tanks.’ General GS Patton
3rd Armoured Brigade: preparing, in every respect.
‘Who are we that love Australia?
We who love her! God hath lavished
At her feet all earthly good,
Ours is to make and keep her
Worthy of her nationhood.’
Agnes Storrie
Under monsoonal skies, a privilege to celebrate our great nation, with the community of our garrison city.
‘The challenge of every team is to build a feeling of oneness and dependence on one another. The question is usually not how well each person performs, but how well they work together.’
3rd Armoured Brigade command teams/staff finalising Plan 2026. It’s going to be epic!
3rd Armoured Brigade is modernising rapidly, transforming into Army’s lethal armoured combined arms fighting system.
Yet, we still have time to practice some old fashioned trebuchet construction and employment!
Happy St Barbara’s Day - for our Combat Engineers and Gunners!
Another view from the best office window in the world right now.
Energising!

‘[Their] human material was not one whit better than that of the human society from which it came. But it had been hammered into form in a different forge, hardened with a different fire.’
Part of 3 Bde (Armoured) Headquarters completing their second Combat PESA this week. Start time: 4 am at 27 degrees celsius and 84% humidity. A gruelling 2.5 hour standard that, like the battlefield, doesn’t discriminate trade, age or gender.
