The latest cohort of Australian Army Reserve recruits from 11 BDE RIC-NQ (Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Gladstone) have wrapped up their Gap training at the Mount Stuart Training Area, Townsville.
The five-day activity is the next phase of training and assessment for members after having completed their ab initio training at Kapooka, and provides a great opportunity for reservists to work in a field environment, putting their skills in day and night navigation, tactical field craft, weapons handling and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) to the test.
Well done to the newest members of the team, and best of luck as you continue your ADF journey.
