Welcome home HMAS Perth! Family and friends waved from the wharf last week, to welcome loved ones after three months away protecting Australia’s maritime interests.

During the deployment, HMAS Perth III performed border protection duties as part of Operation Resolute and participated in Exercise LaPerouse, a multinational exercise with IndoPacific regional partners.
Perth conducted surveillance and response in the nation’s maritime approaches, in addition to logistics visits to Darwin and Singapore that allowed crew members to explore new places and enjoy some respite.

A No. 36 Squadron C-17A Globemaster III aircraft performed a low-level navigation sorties during Exercise Global Dexterity.

Exercise Global Dexterity is designed to develop the bilateral tactical airlift and airdrop capabilities of Austrlian Air Force and US Air Force. Both rely on the C-17A to provide strategic and tactical airlift across the Indo-Pacific region, with its ability to provide short-notice and time-critical airlift support making it essential during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.

Maybe it's now a case of now that anyone can do it, not many want to.

If it's anything like our Air Force they are grown by guys who 1. Look 12 yrs old 2. Have no chin 3. Have too many chins or 4. thinks it will make someone mistake them for an "Operator"

The Australian Air Force deployed C-27J Spartan aircraft and personnel from RAAF Base Amberley to participate in Exercise Ready Spartan Prove and test their tactical readiness to plan, deploy and fly missions at short notice.

It was a fast-moving exercise, with C-27J Spartan pilot Flying Officer Brianna Hawkins challenged but pleased with the seamless integration involving other ADF units. Crews were put through a number of scenarios in the aircraft’s light tactical fixed wing role, with additional simulated threats, increasing in complexity.
