Paula plays key role in Air Force’s operations in Afghanistan

For Sergeant Paula Ivanovic, working as a load master in Afghanistan and the Middle East has been a highlight of a career as one of few women in a male dominated job.

As a Loadmaster on a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 aircraft, Paula is responsible for the loading and safe storage of cargo on Australia’s largest military transport aircraft.

The Air Force’s C-17 aircraft are part of number 36 Squadron based at Amberley in South East Queensland.
