Mission Rehearsal Exercise at Cultana
24 April 2007
Battle Group Tiger and the Australian Army Training Team Iraq-8 concentrated at Cultana Flats Training Area during 12 April to 5 May for the conduct of the Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRE) for the Overwatch Battle Group (West) 3 (OBG (W)-3).
The MRE was conducted by the Townsville-based Combat Training Centre Live and included a three-day Command Post Exercise and a six-day free-play exercise.
The MRE involved the 550-members of OBG (W)-3 and some 600 role players from the Darwin-based 1st Brigade.
The Commanding Officer of OBG (W)-3 is Lieutenant Colonel Justin Ellwood.
The purpose of the MRE is to exercise, test and evaluate OBG (W)-3 and allow it to develop a range of templates to use in theatre.
The scenarios cover two phases being engagement with the Iraqi people, and engagement in support of the Iraqi Security Forces.
OBG (W)-3 will form an important part of Operation CATALYST, the ADF’s contribution to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq
