Airborne Combat Team Parachute Insertion
The Airborne combat team from 3RAR made a spectacular parachute insertion into the Combined Arms Training Activity near Charters Towers on September 6. Two Globemasters from 36 Sqn at RAAF Amberley and two Hercules from 37 Sqn at RAAF Richmond were used to deliver the troops and their eqipment.
Over 200 paratroopers did the jump from 1000ft and then took part in a realistic non-combatant evacuation scenario conducted by 3 Bde. Lt-Col Trent Scott CO 3RAR said it was the first time the Globemaster, which was the latest purchase for the RAAF, had been involved in a mass parachute drop.
"The parachute insertion was only the means to get here and it allowed us to get here rapidly with many numbers," Lt-Col Scott said.
