02 November 2007
Her Excellency, the Governor of Queensland, Ms Quentin Bryce AC, and the Minister for Defence, the Hon. Dr Brendon Nelson MP, have farewelled more than 500 soldiers of the Overwatch Battle Group (West)-4 (OBG(W)-4) to operations in Iraq.
Soldiers from seven Queensland-based Army units form the bulk of the Battle Group and paraded in front of family and friends at Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera.
The OBG(W)-4 is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Chris Websdane and is mostly drawn from Brisbane's 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry), operating Australian Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAVs); and soldiers from the 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment operating Bushmaster Infantry Mobility Vehicles.
2,14 LHR (QMI) traces its heritage back to 1860 and it is the first Light Horse-led Battle Group to deploy on operations since 1918.
OBG(W)-4 is the third rotation of the Operational Overwatch role in southern Iraq.
