Australian Army soldiers from 1st Commando Regiment dropped into coastal waters off Shoalwater Bay training area as part of an advanced force operation in support of 7th Brigade’s combined arms training activity, Exercise Diamond Strike 2015.
As a slight storm swept across the coast moments after the insertion, the Commandos gathered together and stormed Freshwater Beach in Queensland. Over the next three days the commandos conducted several day and night scenario-based operations, including raids and direct action missions, to support of 7th Brigade’s scheme of manoeuvre. Commando’s collective skills were tested in in extreme conditions to identify lessons and learn from the experience.
Special Operations Command provides advanced force operations effects to the joint operating environment. Forces are trained, equipped and prepared to conduct key tasks at high levels of readiness, including point-of-entry. Advanced force operations involve the precision suppression, neutralisation or destruction of high value targets, seizure of key terrain and disruption of command-and-control systems to shape the environment for follow-on forces. 1st Commando Regiment, along with the other Special Operations Command units, provide an important contribution to generating this effect.
1st Commando Regiment is a unique special forces unit within Special Operations Command – Australia. As the oldest unit within Special Operations Command, the regiment has provided an unbroken conduit for the passage of experience from Second World War Commando forefathers to the modern Australian special operations community. Today, regiment contains some of the most skilled, dedicated and combat experienced soldiers within Army.
