Cargo specialists jump into action for Talisman Sabre Cargo specialists use cranes and forklifts to get multinational forces unpacked and ready to fight during Talisman Sabre.

During the recent NQLD Warfighter, 10 FST deployed to the Lucinda area and established a position within a sugar shed “hiding in plain sight” where concealment was of the highest priority.

The FST was made up of members from 10 FSB and 9 FSB, the FST primarily pushed various classes of supply and distributed them via DP with 3 CSSB approx. 150km to the south. Over 380T of freight on 48 TEU moved from Townsville to Lucinda and then into the training area, driving in-excess of 25,000km.

Outstanding work!
