10 Squadron activities on Exercise Bersama Lima 2009
Royal Australian Air Force personnel and aircraft have joined air, ground and naval forces from Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom for Exercise Bersama Lima 2009.
The Exercise is held from 5 October until 23 October 2009 in various locations on the Malaysian Peninsula and in the South China Sea.
Eight F/A-18 Hornets from RAAF Williamtown’s No. 3 Squadron are practicing air combat tactics under the Five Power Defence Arrangement with participating nations. The Five Power Defence Arrangement represents more then 30 years of co-operation and continues to show it’s relevance for the regional strategic environment.
Maritime Surveillance Patrol for the exercise is provided by an AP-3C Orion from No. 10 Squadron based at RAAF Base Edinburgh, whilst C-130J Hercules from RAAF Richmond and a C-17A Globemaster from RAAF Amberley are providing strategic lift and support to deployed forces.
Training in exercises such as Bersama Lima 2009 is important for Air Force personnel to obtain key skills, work as a combined force and build relationships with participating nations.
Exercise Bersama Lima 2009 is the second in a series of Bersama multi-lateral activities involving the Five Defence Power Arrangement forces this year, with the first exercise being Bersama Shield held in May.
