Thanks Gary Stone for conducting an ethical decision making seminar for 25/49 RQR. His decades of service and passion for the well-being of soldiers makes for engaging and powerful discussion. This ongoing training, based in ADF values, is core to our warfighting capability

Great to see 25/49 RQR, Queensland University Regiment and Defence Force Recruiting at the 2023 University of Queensland Market Day. Over 110 students learned of the many benefits of exciting, adventurous and highly rewarding part-time service in the Army Reserve. #11Bde #2Div

Our sincere thanks to members of the 11th Engineer Regiment from Gallipoli Barracks, who heeded our call for help following last week’s floods.
The troops finished a two-day deployment to the region yesterday to assist with the initial clean-up. @AustralianArmy

I had the honour of representing the ADF at the ANZAC Day Service in my hometown of Millmerran on the Darling Downs. The march and service were very well attended and organised.  The support of the community for the work of ADF was strong. #ArmyInTheCommunity #LestWeForget #2Div

[Brigadier Mark Smith @COMD11Brigade]

#AusArmy soldiers recently visited a Texas library in Queensland to support the First Five Forever.
The soldiers have been supporting the @QldPolice at border checkpoints and jumped at the chance to visit the kindergarten children. https://t.co/zzN9UD8qHr
