🚛 Training for war starts with mastering the fundamentals.

Australian Army Distribution Operator trainees from DISTOP IET Course 0066 were put to the test during Exercise THUNDERBOLT last month.

Across the “crawl” phase, trainees conducted vehicle resupply operations using 40M trucks while maintaining effective all-round defence in a field environment. With 1 Section leading the way, the remainder of the course had the opportunity to learn by observing before conducting their own serials.

Stay tuned for more on EX THUNDERBOLT! ⚡️🇦🇺

🪖✨ EXERCISE FIRST LOOK 2026 ✨🪖

This week, ALTC welcomed participants from across Australia for EXERCISE FIRST LOOK, an annual program designed to provide Indigenous young men and women with exposure to Army training, trades and career opportunities as part of Defence's contribution to the Closing the Gap initiative.

Participants experienced Army life firsthand through daily routines, PT, dining at the mess, trade displays at the Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, a Weapons Training Simulation System demonstration, interactive first aid and Tactical Combat Casualty Care activities at the ADF School of Health, and capability displays from Army School of Ordnance. They also visited the Army Museum and Kapooka. 💪

Exercise First Look showcased the breadth of Army careers while providing a valuable insight into and the opportunities available to the next generation.

We hope to see these young people back at ALTC one day - in uniform!

💪 Resilience. Grit. Teamwork.

Army, Navy and Air Force medic trainees put all three to the test during the Commanding Officer’s Challenge at the ADF School of Health.🩺

From conquering the obstacle course and managing high-pressure casualty scenarios🤕, to powering through a gruelling 1.6km stores carry, trainees were pushed to their limits and relied on the person beside them to get the job done.

Different uniforms. One team. One mission. 🫡

Train hard. Support your team. Stay mission-ready.

🎭 Role players, real training impact.

Ten trainees from the Army School of Ordnance Trainee Development Wing took on a huge range of roles during Exercise Pozieres Run at Shoalwater Bay - from farmers🐂 and doctors🩺 to patients🤕 and even detainees!

Their enthusiasm, professionalism and good humour delivered a significant training benefit to soldiers on the ground, with some roles proving particularly challenging.

7th Brigade - Australian Army CSSB Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Daniel King took the time to thank the team, praising their performance:

“I was impressed by the maturity and confidence of the young, new soldiers - to be able to sit across from a CO and ask me questions in their role player persona.
“They’ve acted with intelligence and integrity. They’ve done really well to be useful role players for the soldiers and officers.”

A special mention to SGT Sheree Willcox, aka Mayor Willcox, who played her role flawlessly, all whilst looking out for and after the young trainees.

Ten trainees. Countless characters. A serious training contribution. 👏🇦🇺
