My recently departed Dad (Aug 1942 - Jul 2021, who served in the regular Australian Army from 1959 - 1965) always said that 3RAR was the hardest and most lethal force in the Australian Army, outside of the SASR. And he knew his shit. Miss you Dad.

South Korea exists because of battle of Maryang-San. Thank you.

[@montys420-]

Not just this battle that Australia saved Sth Korea with battle of Kapyong and battle of Samichon are key battle Kapyong is probably the most pivotal battle of the Korean War.

@@kondal91þ⁴⅘⁴55⁴éthankyou as a infantry vet, I know every battalion commemorates and remembers those who fell every yr on the date of battle.

@@kondal91 I hope that our ADF would get the Hanwa Redback, that would put the 2 millitaries closer sharing the same weapon platform.

Aussie Army has a great selection of weapons and equipment now. Its improved significantly since I served in Army.

You can never have too much fire power.

When you have to physically carry it over large distances you might change your mind

[@Goffas_and_gumpys]

All these little snippet videos are what should be used as ads for recruitment. They're great. Showcases some of the aspects involved when you're in the green. Good stuff, even for the dirt darts ;-)

[@titaniumquarrion9838]

They are ads for recruitment.

I'm green with envy at some of the toys the guys have now, makes what we had look like something out of the Flintstones.

[@matthewkilgour9556]

Agree with you there bro. If only I got a chance to play with all this gootchie gear would be awesome but in saying that I am glad the government knows that we have to invest heavily into our defence force and happy for the next generation of soldiers to get the right gear to do the job

[@dylanbarsby7959]

im so keen to start basic and go to singleton after

[@neonoone4688]

Nice you don't get to see some of the more heavier equipment

[@duesexnightcore2621]

Even the Aussie military loves to blow stuff up

[@kotahurt]

The kadachi man lives out there

[@MrThuggery]

Old Faithful maintaining the edge.

[@sjcobra84]

Those wonderful toys lol. My only gripe is that I've always felt our troop units derserved better than the EF88 Steyr. H+K all the way. ( G36, G36C, HK33, G3 ). Other options I felt aswell are Magpul ACR, Beretta ARX160, Type 89 Howa or the IWI Carmel.

[@callumhenderson2102]

Excellent video.

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Well done everyone.

No one is as precise and has attention to detail as a painter…an ex painter imo would be a very good infantry soldier…

Good work boys

[@zambonibob2026]

keep training boys, get ready to take the fight to Russia and China! Much love from USA! God Bless!

Good thing China only has 300 million fighting age males who have served their three years of compulsory military service...

Even though the army looks cool. Air Force is always my choice.

[@loud134]

yeah, i enjoy making paper planes.

[@Funkteon]

Yep, twice the money for half the physical labour, way better looking female colleagues and a uniform that actually impresses women outside the base... And in the end, you leave with skills that can actually be used in the private sector, contrary to the bullshit lies the Navy and Army tell you...
