The sergeant is an AAC (Australian Army Cadet). The Lieutenant may be Medical Corp but I'm not sure enough on that one

The white stripe is an Officer Cadet. Not AAC, that's the school kids. I'm unsure about the red outline on the Lt.

It's not the correct rank slide for that dress. RMC might use it, chuck it at who ever is filling the position for that activity.

Good on ya Dig, I hope you would chime in with this one. I've been out too long to know what the state of play is now and all my knowledge is RAN based

Cheers was going to tag you into the question. Our OCS run something similar from memory with a white outline to the NCO ranks and maybe a lighter fill color. Our Cadet Forces (school kids) rank embellishments are red.

Then there is still the Officer Cadet v Staff Cadet thingo. I think the kids at ADFA are Officer Cadets, at RMC they're Staff Cadets. But I might have that totally wrong.

The Australian Army’s Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery (RAA) successfully tested the new Sensor-fused Munition for Artillery (SMArt) 155mm round during Exercise Chimera 2018 held at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area near Rockhampton.

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Duncan, Commanding Officer of 4 Regiment, RAA said that up until now the Australian Army Artillery had lacked a capability to efficiently and effectively engage and destroy heavy armoured fighting vehicles, such as main battle tanks.

“The introduction of the SMArt155 projectile gives us that a capability to create a dilemma for enemy commanders by disrupting armoured approaches at operationally significant ranges, in all weather and terrain,” Lieutenant Colonel Duncan said.

“The round is specifically designed for long range, top attack. Each round contains two submunitions which descend over the battlefield on parachutes, identify armoured vehicles using advanced sensors, and then fire an explosively formed penetrator warhead into the target.

I recall doing essentially the same thing for the same unit 20 years ago, except that time it was a M712 Copperhead round. We did the close target recce for the Company attack on the position and walked the FO in with the laser for the "shot".
