Recently, soldiers from C Company, 7 Platoon, used a PMV movement task as an opportunity to sharpen the skills of drivers and crew commanders.

As an added bonus, getting these vehicles out on Victorian roads gave members of the community a chance to see Army Reserve soldiers in action and the work being done by local Reserve units.

Making the most of every training opportunity! 🇦🇺 🇵🇱
