EX Hamel culminates in a live-fire brigade attack
Exercise Hamel was held at defence training areas in Northern Queensland, mainly the Townsville Field Training Area from October 10 to November 5. Hamel was the first for the newly created Forces Command which comprises about 87 per cent of the Australian Army and involved more than 6000 Australian personnel from Army, Navy and Air Force. Personnel and units from across Australia and contingents from the United States Marines and the New Zealand Army deployed to Townsville for Exercise Hamel 2010. The exercise culminated in a live-fire brigade attack which involved engineers, infantry, artillery, armour and aviation assets with logistic support.
