ADF | The Australian Amphibious Force WADER 24

Throughout June 2024 The Australian Amphibious Force conducted Wet and Dry Environmental Rehearsals (WADERs) across the coast of North Queensland, to maintain the AAF certification.
The rehearsals included amphibious raids and assaults upon Cowley Beach Training Area conducted by personnel from HQ Australian Amphibious Force, the Royal Australian Navy’s HMAS Adelaide, as well as a beach landing force comprising of infantry, armoured vehicles, artillery, aviation and logistic elements.
The WADER series will enhance the Australian Amphibious Force and the Royal Australian Navy’s joint operability, and will prepare the Australian Amphibious Force for deployment later this year.

Well done people!

[@corvanphoenix]

Great to see the guys getting to work together!

[@yellow6ird]

Always wondered why we don't have any amphibious aircraft as part of our arsenal.

[@steve-iw2bg]

Cool, but air compressors are cheap when your budget is $55billion

[@Buddy89538]

Imagine using a Steele slab that moves at 8knots totally vulnerable and open 😂how embarrassing is our amphibious water transport.

[@corvanphoenix]

This isn't a forced landing exercise. So yeah, it's embarrassing, but they can't control what you write. Or how you spell steel.

[@Buddy89538]

@@corvanphoenixeven with a forced landing they aren’t moving at a great rate of knots. And they have what, max 4 LCM1Es to carry troops and gear, real miniature amphibious force ADF😂 apologies for the spelling error because no one would know it’s called a Mexefloat, steel slab will do.
