17th Sustainment Brigade - Australian Army

50 rounds rapid ... FIRE 💥

Soldiers from the Littoral Manoeuvre Group's 1st Landing Craft Battalion, recently conducted a live fire activity, engaging targets from the LCM8 platform with 30 personnel firing 10,000 rounds.

Range activities like this enhance operator proficiency in the employment of crew serviced weapons while at sea. Allowing vessel masters to issue fire control orders in a live fire environment.

Effectively engaging a target can be a little bit more difficult when you are moving around on the water which is why training like this is essential.

🇦🇺⚽ A fantastic result for the Socceroos with a well-earned win over Türkiye.

A great display of teamwork, determination and pride in the green and gold. Congratulations to the players and coaching staff on an impressive performance.

Well done, Socceroos! 💚💛

Today marks 15 years since the passing of Lance Corporal Andrew Gordon Jones during operations in Afghanistan on 30 May 2011.

Lance Corporal Jones served his country with dedication, professionalism and quiet determination. A skilled cook and respected soldier, he was known among his mates for his reliability, humour and willingness to always put others first.

Having served on operations in both East Timor and Afghanistan, Lance Corporal Jones embodied the values of service and mateship throughout his Army career.

Today we remember his sacrifice, honour his service, and acknowledge the lasting impact he left on his family, friends, colleagues, the Australian Army Catering Corps and the wider Defence community.

Lest we forget.🌺
