Rapid deployment, interoperability and force projection have been rehearsed in real-time following the successful completion of Exercise Diamond Trident in Weipa, Far North Queensland.

The Battle Group, formed from 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, were fresh from Exercise Diamond Run in Shoalwater Bay. They were re-tasked to conduct an airborne operation, to seize and open an airfield, and then evacuate Australian citizens and Approved Foreign Nationals, following a clear and present danger from an exercise enemy.

The move involved the Royal Australian Air Force C-17A Globemaster III aircraft, United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, as well as New Zealand soldiers removing all non-combatants less than 24 hours after touching down. 6 RAR will soon to be certified as the Australian Army’s Ready Battle Group.
