School of Armour are working together with our #gunners from Australian Army - School of Artillery. The trainees have been exposed to a range of artillery tasks, including tactical emplacement of a gunline, and clearing the M777 howitzer before observing 53 Bty conduct a live-fire mission.

03.01.2022 Our latest Joint Fires Wing IET Gunners have commenced their Gunner Grade 1 Course and can be seen here conducting one of several assessments that are required before they can deploy with 53 Battery for their live fire culmination exercise. Stay tuned to see more of these Gunners in action over the coming weeks. CATC’s training is conducted in accordance current COVID-19 guidelines in a socially responsible manner.

02.01.2022 Our latest Air and Missile Defence trainees recently took part in a live fire All Arms Air Defence (AAAD) practice. Tasked to engage an off the shelf drone with a 2 foot wingspan, our soldiers certainly had their work cut out for them with the target moving upwards of 100km/h at times. That said, the "Big sky, small target" equation wasn't in the drones favour this shoot, with multiple hits and a destroyed target the end result. Check out our next post with a short video from the practice!

02.01.2022 53 Battery has been busy delivering support to our Joint Fires Wing courses, and on this occasion it was responding to calls for fire from student JFT Commanders. With the introduction of new technology and instructional methods as part of the Combined Arms Training Centre - Australian Army training transformation mission, this LFX was a prudent reminder that live fire training remains a key component in the delivery of realistic combined arms training. CATC’s training is conducted in accordance current COVID-19 guidelines in a socially responsible manner.
