Complexity the hallmark of Exercise Hamel
Infantry soldiers defused an intricate hostage scenario without firing a shot as part of the Australian Army’s most complex exercise to date – Exercise Hamel 2010.
In an exercise scenario at the Tully military airfield in North Queensland, the infantry soldiers from 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment showed their high professionalism in an Air Mobile Operation using Black Hawk helicopters from the 5th Aviation Regiment, that had been designed by exercise controllers to result in a firefight.
The Australian soldiers were also supported by a contingent of United States Marines participating in the exercise.
Exercise Hamel 2010 involves 6000 personnel from the Army, Navy and Air Force and is designed to enhance the Army’s ability to fight and operate in a modern, complex battlespace.
