25.01.2022 Well done to our Survey Team. Some great work in trying conditions.

25.01.2022 In the lead up to National Reconciliation Week, we’d like share our first interview with #AusArmy’s second Indigenous Elder, Aunty Lorraine Hatton OAM with you.... Aunty Lorraine says she is extremely honoured to have been entrusted with this appointment. Aunty Lorraine will build on the wonderful work of Uncle Roy Mundine OAM, who has provided Army with exemplary service as Army’s inaugural Indigenous Elder since 2015. While the role of Army Indigenous Elder focuses on engaging and educating both soldiers and Indigenous communities, for Aunty Lorraine, it’s also about culture and history. To read her full interview, head to page 5 in the latest copy of Army News https://www.defence.gov.au/news/armynews/. #GoodSoldiering

03.01.2022 A message from the Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Rick Burr AO DSC MVO to #AusArmy families: To our Army families We are in uncertain times as we face the ch...allenges COVID-19 is placing on our personal and professional lives. I hope that wherever you are, you are well and managing during this time. I acknowledge that a lot has already been asked of Army families this year, with many people recalled from Christmas leave to support the nation during Operation Bushfire Assist. But more is now being asked of us all. At the Australian Government’s request, Defence is supporting the fight against this pandemic through Operation COVID19 Assist. Over 1200 of our people are already assigned to the Operation and I anticipate this number will increase and the nature of tasks will evolve. Army can only help if we are healthy. We have taken active measures to protect our people and this is why social distancing and working remotely is necessary. This has obviously been quite disruptive, and I appreciate everyone’s sustained commitment to this important effort to flatten the curve. I realise that the unusual demands of this situation may be causing uncertainty. There are still many unknowns, and we don’t yet have all the answers as to what this may mean for your loved ones who are serving, but we are working to bring clarity as best we can. Most urgent is the work we are doing to examine the impacts of COVID-19 on the posting cycle for the end of 2020. Staying connected and well informed is critical. Unlike other operations, serving members can talk about Operation COVID Assist, and I encourage open family discussions about the situation and its implications. Defence and Army are providing regular Operation COVID-19 Assist updates, and our people are encouraged to speak with their chain of command if they need more information. Families also have access to resources, some of which are listed below this letter. I thank you for your support and patience during these uncertain times, and hope you remain proud of the incredible work of your loved ones and the effort of those throughout Army to keep our nation safe and protected. We are in this together, as a nation and as communities, and especially as an Army community and what I do know is that our Army community is strong and resilient. I sincerely thank you for the support you give your family and friends across Army and the ADF during these challenging times. Stay healthy. Stay strong. Sincerely LTGEN Rick Burr Chief of Army --------------------- Staying connected and well informed ForceNet for Families We have an online group for Army families, where we are posting updates and information that you may find helpful during this time.
