Overwatch Battle Group (West) 3 (OBG(W)3) soldiers were formally farewelled with a traditional parade at Robertson Barracks on 10 May that was attended by more than 1000 ADF personnel as well as family and friends.

The 520 members of OBG (W) 3 will deploy to Iraq during the next few weeks.

Deputy Chief Joint Operations, Rear Admiral Rowan Moffit reviewed the parade, which also included soldiers deploying as part of the Australian Army Training Team – Iraq (AATTI), whose job it is to train the newly-formed Iraqi Army.

Following the review, the Brigade Clergy conducted a service to bless the soldiers of Battle Group Tiger.

A feature of the parade was Battle Group Tiger Trooping the Colour of the Tiger Battalion (5RAR) which recently rededicated itself to the original Queen’s and Regiment Colours.
