WINNERS ARE GRINNERS

The final results are in - the fastest cadet drone pilot is CDTSGT Angus Dickson “Dicko”.

Drone Racing Camp 2025 was a huge success.

The top 3 cadets now have the opportunity to travel to the Avalon International Airshow in March.

How good is it to be an Australian? How good is it to be an Australian on Australia Day? How good is it to be an Australian on Australia Day in Australia’s premier Garrison City? That’s the trifecta right there! Thank you to Her Excellency, Premier, A/Mayor

As Santa conducts his final 'boots and saddles' parade for 'the big day,' may we at the 3rd Brigade (Armoured Amphibious) wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

[Admiral David Johnston @CDF_Aust]

As the year comes to a close, I extend my gratitude to all Defence members for their service this year, particularly those deployed away from home these holidays. I wish you and your loved ones a safe and restful holiday break.

This week I handed over Command of the Land Combat College to my good friend, Brigadier Andrew Moss.
Thank you for all the support you have provided my team these past two years. It has been an honour and a privilege to lead such highly motivated and professional men and women.

[Brigadier Ben McLennan @3BrigadeTSV]

After two years I handed over Command of the 3rd Brigade to Brigadier Ben McLennan this morning, he is an outstanding leader and I have no doubt the Brigade will thrive with him at the helm. Good luck and good soldiering to the Brigade for the future.

[Brigadier Ben McLennan @3BrigadeTSV]

Privileged to promote the Brigade Intelligence officer this morning to LTCOL in front of friends and family, he has done a fantastic job this year and will go on to do great things as a LTCOL.

I hope some senior leaders in Australia might emulate US Secretary of the Army. Find our best story tellers and encourage them.

Third Fed Star for WO1 Frank Franolic🎖️

When WO1 Franolic enlisted in 1973, Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War had just come to an end & a six pack of beer cost $1.42.

While times have changed, Good Soldiering hasn’t.

Congratulations to Frank on 50yrs of service! 🎉
