Major Stephen Ware was yesterday awarded two Federation Stars, having served for 47 years. A picture of professionalism since 1977, Major Ware has shown immense skill, mentoring and fitness - some of which we were lucky enough to have seen at 7th Brigade. Thanks for your service.

The Anzac spirit. ‘stood, and still stands, for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship and endurance that will never own defeat’ - CEW Bean

The Anzac spirit lives on in the hearts of all Australians as we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who contributed so much to shaping the identity of our nation.

Huge effort 👏👏👏

Congratulations to everyone who took part in Run Army today. Great work by everyone who participated and supported charity. It was awesome to have Qld Fire & Emergency, Queensland Police and Queensland Ambulance involved for the first time this year too.

Great to see our tank squadron getting in some live fire ahead of a big year of training.

What a great opportunity for our soldiers. During Exercise Regional Warfighter at Tully, 8/9 RAR worked with the French Armed Forces in New Caledonia to achieve objectives. Well done to all.

Jungle Training Wing Tully provides our soldiers with a great opportunity to experience jungle conditions, build resilience and enhance their warfighting skills. Well done to the A Coy, 8/9 RAR team - for discovering anew that the jungle is neutral.

1 Regt gunners working hard and fast to carry out their fire mission on Exercise Barce. Great training experience ahead of a big year for 7 BDE.

Focused and well-trained. Our soldiers in 7 Brigade are prepared for short-notice tasking anywhere, anytime.

Gallipoli, 1915: 7th Brigade soldiers spot one of the first enemy aeroplanes.
Remember, battlefields have been three-dimensional for a long time. But the sky is always getting busier, and the air threats more complex.

Awesome skill and care showed by members from 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry), who conducted a road run in Brisbane this week.

Alpha Company 6 RAR getting some great training with a live fire section attack as part of their training progression ahead of some big exercises later this year.

You order, We mortar. Brilliant at the basics training in 8/9 RAR this week before demanding field exercises.

The ADF’s best touch players showed their skills at Gallipoli Barracks this week, in their last training session before arriving in Coffs Harbour for The Championships.

Sport is crucial to building morale and teamwork within Defence.

A great thing about Army is that your mates are there to help when you hit a wall. Mateship and camaraderie are crucial to what we do and who we are.

A great resilience activity. 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and Queensland Reds - at Gallipoli Barracks. 7th Brigade love being part of the Brisbane community.

Happy 123rd birthday to our Australian Army! A big day for all who have served and are serving. We must revel in our past to best create our future.

Great to see 7 CSSB getting their hands on tools. No matter the unit, the weather or time of year, readiness is a necessity and a state of mind.

It was excellent to have MAJGEN Mick Ryan, AM, (Retd.) deliver professional military education to 7th Brigade leaders this week. He offers incredible insights into tactics and geopolitics, and is a leading voice within Defence on social and traditional media.
Mick Ryan, AM

Congratulations to LTCOL Ed Cousins, who has taken over as Commanding Officer 6 RAR from COL Richard Niessl. COL Niessl has done an incredible job, and we are all looking forward to LTCOL Cousins’ stewardship of one of the most storied units within the Australian Army.
