The ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’ will do battle one last time at Samuel Hill in the Shoal Water Bay Training Area (SWBTA). The battle will involve troops from both the US and Australian Army, Navy and Air Force and will signify the end of the Field Training Exercise (FTX) phase of TS05: the culmination of a week’s intensive training. Interested media are invited to accompany the Combined Joint Information Bureau (CJIB) staff from Camp Rocky to Samuel Hill in the SWBTA on Saturday the 25th of June to capture the final battle.
