Introduction

There are some things about 3 Bde / Army and even all up Defence in our region that are significant and of which we should be proud. They are useful to have in your pocket when talking to soldiers or even the media that are impressive and make us and the community around us feel good. If you are aware of some of these send an email to LO COMD 3 Bde and he will put them on this site. If you have a reference / methodology behind the 'fact' plase include that also. Unless so annotated, the following 'facts' are just interesting guesses and should be used as such.

3 Bde with an authorised strength of 3800 soldiers makes up about 15% of the regular Army full time strength.

All of the soldiers and their dependants located in Townsville make up about 10% of the population of Townsville / Thuringowa.
