3 Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) Airborne Combat Team Parachuting over Singleton Army Range during Exercise Kapyong Warrior
02 June 2005
Exercise
Kapyong Warrior is an annual exercise to mount
and insert, via parachute, an Airborne Combat
Team.
The Airborne Combat Team consists of a normal
light Infantry Company from 3 RAR, with its
artillery, signals and logistic attachments.
The exercise begins with a parachute insertion
into a training area, traditionally Singleton,
followed by progressive training from blank
fire and culminating in a company live fire
attack, supported by artillery and Close Air
Support (CAS).
One of the objectives for Exercise KApyong Warrior
2005 was to test the procedures that will be
used for the deployment of the Airborne Battle
Group (ABG) during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2005.
Not only does Exercise Kapyong Warrior test
the soldiers, but it also tests the mounting
procedures of both 3 RAR and RAAF Richmond,
further developing and consolidating the joint
nature of the ADF parachute capability.
