Further changes to Combat Brigade construct - 2017

[edit]

Recent further changes will include PMVs and M113s going back to the Infantry Battalions, with one motorized and mechanized bn per Bde. An extra cavalry squadron will be raised by each ACR for brigade reconnaissance. Details available below:

I'm I bit busy at the moment so I'll post this here for later use (happy if someone beats me to it though of cse). Anotherclown (talk) 03:27, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yeah the revised model of creating a mech infantry bn and motorised infantry bn per brigade, plus 2 RAR going to 1 Div, were known as 'Plan Keogh' I believe, which was sort of an update on Beersheba. It would be worth a write up if anyone has interest and time. --TinTin (talk) 06:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anotherclown (talk) 09:09, 11 November 2017 (UTC) Nick-D, AustralianRupert, talk page stalkers, I have just learned that 1 Armd Regt has been moved *back* down to Edinburgh, though the MBTs have also been sent to the other brigades. Was there a public explanation as to why no tank force has been retained in the Northern Territory? Buckshot06 (talk) 06:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, IMO it was ostensibly done to negate the difficulties of training with heavy vehicles in the wet season. Cultana is more suitable for year-round activities: [1]. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think that there was also some discussion of this on the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's blog and/or reports - they've had a focus on ADF forces stationed in northern Australia. Nick-D (talk) 10:01, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
