Operational Support Company delivering some really well received hands on training - small engine maintenance, soldering knot tying and sewing. These skills will help the soldiers both in Army and back home in Community. #loveofcountryleadsme#ArmyinMotion
And now the hard work begins. They will learn to help each other through the tough times ahead. We guide & instruct them. But it is the Mentors, young soldiers who have completed the training themselves, many from the same Communities, who provide the example that they can do it.
#Sarpeye Surveillance Patrols from the Northern Peninsular Area Platoon, South West Island Region Platoon and Outer Island Region Platoon certified and ready for Border Protection Operations in the Torres Straits. #loveofcountryleadsme
Hard working diggers of #51FNQR from across the Cape, Gulf & Torres attending 3 months of LLN training in Darwin. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the impact each of you will have when you take your new skills back to Community. #goodsoldiering @FORCOMDMedia
Army Education Centre's first Army Indigenous Instructor Development Program 5-day course #RFSU, a great success and great work CAPT Fox and MAJ Webster! Your efforts in Indigenous Training Transformation continue to us @DG_TRADOC @comdforcomd @AustralianArmy proud 🙏
1RegtBand stopped into Injinoo FNQ for a quick march through the park and a performance. Using music we connect with people and provide a positive image of Army. #musicconnects
Love seeing the next generation of #Sarpeye soldiers excelling. Well done to the #51FNQR Recruit and Patrolmen Course Student of Merit PTE Ces Whap from Mabuiag and the Combat Support Operator Course Student of Merit PTE Rene Mandee from #Bamaga#armyinmotion#RFSU
29 soldiers, from across the Cape, Gulf, Torres and Cairns have almost finished the second Patrol course of 2019. Lots of hard work from the trainees, mentors and instructors. #loveofcountryleadsme @FORCOMDMedia
Great to see the Torres Strait community out in force for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Children’s Day in ANZAC Park, Thursday Island. Love of country leads me. #51fnqr#ArmyInMotion#sarpeye
On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples we proudly recognise the traditional owners of this country and respect the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples long standing tradition of fighting for Country, and serving with honour among our military forces.
Another group of recruits commence their journey in #51fnqr. Great that so many family members could witness their loved ones enlist. Lots of hard work now required to become soldiers - they are all up to the task. #goodsoldiering @FORCOMDMedia
Training run by local NCOs from Bamaga Platoon without #sarpeye Coy staff provides more opportunities for soldiers to improve skills, increases employment opportunities & generates capacity for other training to be delivered across the Torres. Keep up the gr8 work @FORCOMDMedia
.@AusAirForce Indigenous Liaison Officers and members from No 35 Squadron attended a ceremony to unveil a WWII memorial at King Point on 29 May 2019. The islands have links to WWII history as they were used as forward operating bases until 1942. #ADFMemorial#AusAirForce
Recruit course 02/19 graduated today, you are all now part of #51FNQR where #loveofcountryleadsme. A fitting way to end Reconciliation Week. Fantastic so many family members could be here from across FNQ to watch the march out. #ArmyinCommunity @FORCOMDMedia
