New Base Commander in the MEAO
Recent Commanding Officer of 381 Expeditionary Combat Support Squadron (ECSS) at Williamtown, Wing Commander (WGCDR) Peter Davis, has stepped right into the breech being appointed to the new Base Commander’s position at the new look ADF Combat Support Unit (CSU) in the Middle East Area of Operations (MEAO).
Not unlike managing the support available on other operational Air Force bases in Australia, the new Base Commander’s unit consists of administrative, logistics, force protection, operations, air load teams, air field engineers and ground support and maintenance staff.
There are many similarities between the two positions; however in this post, the responsibilities cut across five locations and four different countries and significantly, the 129 personnel under his command directly contribute to and support operations in Afghanistan.
