battalion would not be waived.
The Battalion would still need to
maintain the ability to function
as an infantry battalion with an
appropriate notice to move.
“The Chief [of Army] made it
clear that we are not by design
or neglect to remove that ability,
so we still have to maintain that
skill,” LTCOL Pashley said.
He said the Battalion would
remain exactly where it was, and
would continue to be part of the
social, cultural and sporting
fabric of 3Bde even it was not
actually part of the Brigade.
COMD 3Bde BRIG Chris Field said
2RAR would continue to be invited
to participate in, and potentially win,
AASAM, the Duke of Gloucester
Cup and the Commander’s Trophy.
“The Battalion remains part of
the North Queensland Garrison
and remains a key Army and
joint enabler,” he said.
Expect to see another “fi rst” from
2RAR in the not-too-distant
future - it might just be the fi rst
unit from outside the 3rd Brigade
to win the Commander’s Trophy!
