Great work by the 11th Brigade, the QLD State Emergency Service and other agencies!

Thanks Gary Stone for conducting an ethical decision making seminar for 25/49 RQR. His decades of service and passion for the well-being of soldiers makes for engaging and powerful discussion. This ongoing training, based in ADF values, is core to our warfighting capability

From Jungle to City! 11 Bde soldiers deployed onto EX Austral Shield from the Jungle Training Centre and SEQ to Townsville on a no notice rehearsal of their response to a domestic security threat. Reservists providing short notice contingency forces for the Army & Joint Force!
Ready to respond 🚔
#YourADF and @QldPolice are working together at @QCBstadium in Townsville to test their response to a simulated domestic security threat.
Exercise Austral Shield is a no-notice rehearsal of a counter-terror operation in support of state civil authorities.

Our sincere thanks to members of the 11th Engineer Regiment from Gallipoli Barracks, who heeded our call for help following last week’s floods.
The troops finished a two-day deployment to the region yesterday to assist with the initial clean-up. @AustralianArmy

I had the honour of representing the ADF at the ANZAC Day Service in my hometown of Millmerran on the Darling Downs. The march and service were very well attended and organised. The support of the community for the work of ADF was strong. #ArmyInTheCommunity #LestWeForget #2Div

#AusArmy soldiers recently visited a Texas library in Queensland to support the First Five Forever.
The soldiers have been supporting the @QldPolice at border checkpoints and jumped at the chance to visit the kindergarten children. spr.ly/6018JzITm

Well done 41 RNSWR, proud that members of 12/16 HRL & 11 CSSB are supporting the NSW community and the 5 Bde Emergency Support Force!
Members of 41st Royal NSW Regiment are hard at work helping locals and businesses recover from the floods in Taree on the NSW Mid North Coast. Good to see some blue sky and smiles. #TYFYS #OurPeople @AustralianArmy

Fantastic story of a reservist, with a supportive employer, providing capability to the US Army, as well as balancing his family and civilian commitments. The last 18 months of reservists supporting operations has demonstrated the value of the “part-time” component
