Brunei carries heavy burden

HMAS Brunei is loaded by the Force Extraction Team at Honiara Wharf, readying her for the return
voyage to Australian shores.

HMAS Brunei is loaded by the Force Extraction Team at Honiara Wharf, readying her for the return voyage to Australian shores.

The Force Extraction Team (FET) in Honiara has been busily loading up surplus Defence equipment for the drawdown of the military component of RAMSI following the restoration of law and order.

Under the supervision of LCDR Jeffery Williams, the FET at the Honiara Loading Docks began transferring containers to HMAS Brunei.

LCDR Williams was the original CO of the ship during its first deployment to Operation Anode last year.

“The amphibious warfare ship is capable of beaching and transferring stores and equipment across the shore,” LCDR Williams said.

Brunei’s first port of call was her homeport of Cairns before moving on to Townsville to deliver vehicles and stores and take part in a welcome home parade.
