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.

The #AusArmy combined arms team, led by 1 Armd, 10/27 RSAR, 3 HB, 10 FSB and CTC have completed #ExGarudaShield. What a group of energetic & motivated ambassadors from #YourADF. Check out the short clip by our talented PA team from @FORCOMDAusArmy of the firepower on the CALFEX!
