3RAR’s Mortar Platoon have been the first to step onto the range at Townsville Field Training Area in 2021, conducting platoon level live fire training. The platoon provides integral offensive fire support for the mechanised Battle Group within 3 Brigade.

The thunderstorms and Townsville humidity also came to the party and provided extra bonding opportunities for the crew.
