22.01.2022 WATCH || Hold on tight, as #AusArmys Optionally Crewed Combat Vehicles perform an autonomous casualty evacuation. Australian Army will increase its experimenta...tion & prototyping of its autonomous vehicles and emerging technologies through Defence industry contracts valued at $12 million. This will allow Army to learn, prototype and develop future concepts. Technology such as robotics, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence act as a force multiplier and will make #YourADF more effective on the future battlefield and help to keep personnel safe. #YourADF #DefenceCapability #DefenceIndustry

13.01.2022 #AusArmy Soldiers and officers of the 101st Battery returned to the field following the easing of #COVID19 restrictions, firing a barrage of rounds from four M7...7A2 howitzers during Exercise Ready Hammer. For young Australian Army soldier Gunner Percy Peacock, Exercise Ready Hammer was the first opportunity to deploy to the field environment and experience the sight of multiple field guns in action. I posted into the regiment earlier this year when most activities were put on hold and I hadnt had the chance to see the guns live fire," Gunner Peacock said. The exciting activity did not disappoint for the new soldier. The direct fire serial marked a great end to a tough three weeks and was a really good experience, he said. Not only was it the first time in 2020 the guns fired in unison, it was also the first opportunity for 101st Batterys leadership team to work in harmony in the field environment.

02.01.2022 Today we remember the 2,000 Australian men who lost their lives 105 years ago in the four day Battle of Lone Pine. Their courage and sacrifice lives on in memo...rial gardens, schools and civic spaces around Australia, thanks to Lance Corporal Benjamin Charles Smith. LCPL Smith collected several pine cones from the branches used to cover the Turkish trenches and sent them home to his mother in remembrance of his brother Mark, who had died in the fighting on 6 August. From one of these cones two seedlings were raised, with one being planted in Inverell and one on the ground of the Australian War Memorial.
