Fleet Concentration Period
The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) annual Fleet Concentration Period in 2009 involves the participation of 21 ships and thousands of Officers and Sailors.
Fleet Concentration Period 2009 is a comprehensive six-week training program which challenges and enhances RAN’s mariner and war-fighting skills. The activity also provides an opportunity for RAN ships to exercise with their Royal New Zealand Navy counterparts and improve interoperability.
Fleet Concentration Period 2009 provides a vital contribution to the maintenance of Australian Defence Force capability, protecting Australia and its interests. The exercise is a carefully planned activity and will be conducted within strict environmental, safety and risk management constraints.
