    Australian Army - Exercise Chong Ju

    The Australian Army’s firepower and manoeuvre demonstration at Puckapunyal Military Area, called EXERCISE CHONG JU.

    EX CHONG JU is named after a series of offensive actions by the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) on 29 October 1950 against North Koreans, during which infantry company advances were supported by US Army tanks and artillery.

    Artillery from 53 Independent Battery fired 105mm rounds in support of the biannual exercise. The battery usually supports courses run by the School of Artillery.

    53 Independent Battery was the only Australian battery to bring its guns to bear against the Japanese during the Battle of Kokoda in 1942

    Upgrade, all being done at Tennex (now BAE systems) at Bandiana.

    New electronics, armament and still room for the troops, note the new turrets.

    I thought the point of camouflage was to hide the item from the background.

    With all the M113 in nearly identical patterns they are highly visible by the repetition. They may as well have been painted bright red!

    And now ..........the ADF do not possess the combat capability to manouvere their Main Battle Tank across water obstacles.

    Our brightest and best forgot to address that need!

    That is based on the premis that if you have the Tanks then they will have to give us the money to buy the equipment to cross water obstacles.
