Great coverage of the work the unit has been doing. Wise words from CPL Pitt and LCPL Casey #ArmyintheCommunity #loveofcounteyleadsme #armyinmotion https://t.co/xWMKh0P9Ow

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

[Mick O’Sullivan @51stBattalion]

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.

Welcome. @AustralianArmy’s newest recruits from across the Cape, Gulf, Torres, Daintree and Tablelands. Too many family wanted to attend the ceremony so thank you to @RSLQueensland Cairns for hosting. #loveofcounteyleadsme #armyinthecommunity

#Sarpeye Ball 2019. A first for many of the young #51fnqr soldiers recently recruited from the Torres and our whole of government interagency partners who support #RFSG operations. #loveofcountryleadsme #ArmyInMotion

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

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

Indigenous soldiers are being recruited by the Australian Army for their unique skills https://t.co/BFtHBT17oO

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

[Mick O’Sullivan @51stBattalion]

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

@ADFinPNG No better way to demonstrate the proximity and porous nature of our most northern border

The soldiers of Charlie Company were honoured today to support the launch of the 4th #ReconciliationActionPlan at the @AWMemorial in Canberra. #ArmyInMotion #loveofcountryleadsme #51fnqr

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

[Aust War Memorial @AWMemorial]

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.

[Mick O’Sullivan @51stBattalion]

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

[Mick O’Sullivan @51stBattalion]

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

[Mick O’Sullivan @51stBattalion]

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
