19.05.2022 Last week the trainees and staff of Tactics Wing took part in Battle PT (Physical Training) at Light Horse Park, Seymour. The conduct of battle focussed events builds team cohesion through common adversity. Team oriented training like this grants the opportunity for staff and trainees to exhibit their leadership under pressure while also commemorating those that have gone before us in the lead up to ANZAC Day. #OurPeople #GoodSoldiering
