The

Commander ’ s

TROPHY

Obstacle Course

T

HE Men In Black - 2RAR - blitzed the field in this year ’ s
Obstacle Course competition . They produced a performance where everybody played their part , the team as a whole running like a well-oiled engine . It was testimony to teh skill of the Brigade ’ s infantry battalions that although they were down on numbers - 2RAR and 3RAR , particularly - they were able to dominate the competition . While 2RAR picked up 100 points in the Commander ’ s Trophy competition , 1RAR finished second ( 90 pts ) and 3RAR third , ( 80pts ). Nine units , the eight 3Bde units and 10FSB , contested the event . The Commander ’ s Trophy will this year be conducted across seven events , the RSM ’ s Military Skills competition being this year given over to the international competition in its stead .
