Students of Tactical Communications (TACTCOMMS) course 0039 don their packs and prepare to move out with 6x6 and 4x4 Land Rovers to their first Tactical Air Command Post (TACP) site. After spending three weeks training at RAAF Richmond's No. 1 Combat Communication Squadron (1CCS), students of TACTCOMMS course 0039 deployed to the Singleton Training Area in New South Wales to consolidate their knowledge in a tactical field environment. Having travelled from RAAF bases all over Australia to participate in the course, the students were kitted out with their packs, webbing and F88 Steyrs before disappearing into the bush to set up and operate Tactical Air Command Posts (TACP) and smaller satellite radio communication posts known as 'Step Ups'.

A six-wheel drive Land Rover infantry mobility vehicle from the International Stabilisation Force’s Anzac Infantry Company rattles over a steel bridge on the way into the town of Emera. On board are troops from 1 Section, on their way to conduct a regional patrol in Emera. Mid Caption: In February 2011 it was the job of 1 Platoon of the International Stabilisation Force’s Anzac Infantry Company to patrol the Emera district, located to the southeast of Dili, using the ISF compound in the town of Gleno as a patrol base. The troops were tasked with conducting patrols across the district, visiting each sub-district to gauge how things are operating, such as local government, police and public services.

The river bed at Moolooo Downs proves to be softer than expected when the land rover was bogged during a treck across the terrain. The Australian Army Band Perth (AAAB-P), in conjunction with the Joint Logistics Unit-West (JLU-W) conducted Exercise GASCOYNE ASSIST over the period 17-25 July 2011. The activity involved the provision of assistance involving flood recovery operations personnel in the Gascoyne Region with a focus on MOOLOO Downs. The assistance provided by both Navy and Army consisted of fence construction, cattle yard construction, cleaning/removal of mud from outbuildings, general clean up and asset/material recovery from the flood plains. MOOLOO Downs was one of the worst affected stations, after the flood of December 2010, succumbing to a meter of water in all buildings, the first time the water has been recorded breaking the banks of the creek in over 100 years. MOOLOO Downs has had no government or voluntary recovery assistance to date. (Photo: Australia DoD)
