It’s an important time to visit Darwin and see COMD 1st Bde’s work in enhancing Australian Army’s littoral capability. 

Great to visit and chat with the soldiers, including the 4 legged ones, from 1st Brigade and other Darwin based units.

Have you ever seen a M240B machine gun? Join us on Sep. 10 at Robertson Barracks to see some in person and meet the U.S. Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers of MRF-D and COMD 1st Bde!

#YourADF & U.S. Marines & sailors of @MrfDarwin will enter a fictitious contested area of operations under a combined command throughout August.

Exercise Koolendong is the most integrated, realistic, high-end activity conducted in MRF-D’s 10-year history.

For the past two weeks, 1 Brigade has been deployed as part of a Divisional Command Post Exercise, Polygon Wood.
 
We’ve been fighting alongside @3Bde in this fictitious battle, collectively sharpening our warfighting skills.

It was a great pleasure hosting the Prime Minister Not ScoMo alongside our U.S. Marines partners at Robertson Barracks yesterday.

How good is soldiering in the Top End when you have U.S. Marines @MrfDarwin capabilities like this to train with!

Veterans, families and friends have gathered for #AnzacDay commemorative activities across the Top End. Today we reflect on the service and sacrifices of all Australian service personnel, past and present. Our #ADF families are an important part of the Anzac legacy.

#YourADF troops from the Top End were out on the grounds at TIO Stadium this morning during team training ahead of the 2021 AFL Anzac Shield.
 
The ADF will side a Men’s and Women’s team against NT PFES in a commemorative game to be played on 24 April, ahead of Anzac Day.

I recently trained with sappers from 1 CER at their demolitions range, undertaking a confidence test with a small charge of PE4. This activity requires sappers to cut a fuse to a specified time, ensuring their ability to safely handle explosives #BrilliantAtTheBasics
