As we reflect on Veterans’ Families Day in SA, which took place during National Families Week, I want to thank the families who stand beside our people. Your strength, support and sacrifice are vital to everything we do. You serve in your own way—and we are deeply grateful.

Today in Adelaide, we farewelled a great South Australian - a dedicated servant of his nation, whose life was defined by courage, leadership and selflessness.

It was a privilege to attend bushfire Resilience Day commemorations today with our mates in the @CFSAlerts and @SA_SES.

The work the volunteers do in service to our communities, and the resilience they show during times of hardship, is an inspiration.

[Brigadier Tim Orders @COMD9Bde]

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to Australia.

Lest we forget.

It was great to visit Murray Bridge Training Area this week to see many of Australia's future leaders taking part in Cadets activity Exercise Rising Sun. Well done to all involved, including members of 9BDE who are helping to mentor these young men and women.

Honoured to have hosted Commander 4th Mech Brigade from the Malaysian Army for Ex Southern Tiger 2024. The training between our people has worked to build valuable bonds, while strengthening regional security. Well done to all involved on some outstanding training.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Family Thankyou Afternoon last night, and to @SoldierOnAust, Defence Member and Family Support, @tollgroup, @OpenArmsSupport , and @DefenceFamilies for making themselves available to come and speak with our people.

[Brigadier Tim Orders @COMD9Bde]

On Friday we welcomed home the team from rotation six of Operation KUDU.
This marks the completion of the 7RAR led commitment to the operation and a significant moment in the Battalion’s history. We are all very proud of what you have achieved!

[Brigadier Tim Orders @COMD9Bde]

Congratulations to the Army Men’s Team for getting up against the Indigenous All Stars in Port Augusta yesterday, and a great effort by the women, going down by 2 points. The matches capped an excellent @1_Armd_Regt engagement in our community. Well done team!

[Brigadier Tim Orders @COMD9Bde]

Great to attend the inaugural AIDN annual Gala dinner where CO @1_Armd_Regt spoke on the Army Accelerated Capability Pipeline and the importance of working with Industry partners to bring emerging tech into service faster through experimentation. Well done Jake. @Defence_SA

It was a privilege to have @derrickmcmanus speak with us yesterday about human durability.

Derrick’s story of survival after being shot 14 times was inspirational. His strategies to build resilience will help #OurPeople respond decisively and positively to a range of challenges.

[Brigadier Tim Orders @COMD9Bde]

In between phases of Exercise Rhino Run, #OurPeople have taken the time to showcase doing what they love for Army Reserves employers, @AustralianArmy Cadets and @AirForceCadets and career seekers from across South Australia's north.
