Regional Force Surveillance Patrol
A Regional Force Surveillance Patrol from NORFORCE’s Darwin Squadron has travelled to the indigenous community of Oenpelli to help celebrate the local cultural festival and conduct driver training across some of Arnhem Land’s most inspiring landscape.
The festival provided an opportunity for the unit to engage locals and festival visitors with a display of the equipment used on NORFORCE water and land operations, including a zodiac, regional force surveillance vehicles, an F88 Austeyr, F89 Minimi, radio equipment and surveillance scopes.
