Australian Navy commissioned HMAS Stalwart into service on 13 November at Fleet Base West, Rockingham, Western Australia.
HMAS Stalwart, the second of the Supply-class auxiliary oiler replenishment ships will provide logistics replenishment to ships at sea, while also having the ability to support the Joint Force on a wider scale.
Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Michael Noonan said the auxiliary oiler replenishment ships bring a significant capability to Australian Navy and Australia’s regional partners in terms of providing at-sea support.
Stalwart Commanding Officer Commander Steve McCracken said his ship’s company was proud to be part of the continuing relationship between the Royal Australian Navy and the City of Greater Geraldton.
“The naming of Geraldton as the ceremonial homeport of Stalwart formalises a three-way partnership between the ship, the City of Greater Geraldton and the Yamatji peoples,” Commander McCracken added.

1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment conducted a unique combined arms training event Far North Queensland recently.
The Combat Training Center successfully reinvented the traditional training event to enable Australian Army's combined-arms teams to survive and thrive in the jungle, mountains, coastal and urban terrain typical of Australia's near region.
The training saw troops complete a range of dismounted missions including reconnaissance, patrolling, rural village clearances, ambushing, attacks and defensive actions.

What were they thinking, It's only a matter of time before they become self aware. Optionally manned M-113's today. . . . . . Skynet Gavin's tomorrow
