75 Squadron F/A-18's land at RAAF Amberley

More than 6,000 Australian and 11,000 US personnel from Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine and Special Forces units are participating in TS05, a merger of the Tandem Thrust and Crocodile series of exercises.

TS05 commenced on June 12.

The arrival of the 75 Squadron F/A-18's at RAAF Amberley on Friday 10 June 2005 is part of the build up for TS05.

The 75 Squadron Hornets will fly from RAAF Amberley during the Exercise. Talisman Sabre's primary aim is to conduct collective training and exercise inter-operability between Australian and US forces.

The biennial exercise will further develop the ADF's capability to undertake joint, combined operations and will help build regional security and complement our regional partner's activities with the US.

Based on fictional scenarios, the exercise includes combined Special Forces operations, parachute drops, amphibious landings at Shoalwater Bay, artillery and infantry manoeuvres, air combat training and advanced maritime operations.
