Defence Australia(@DefenceAust):Maritime Air Assault 🚁 @AustralianArmy soldiers from 5th/7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, and 7th Signal Regiment, conducted a joint training mission with the US and the Philippines that focused on long-range maritime air assault execution during Exercise Balikatan 2026. Inserting on CH-47 Chinooks and UH-60 Black Hawks, soldiers established a defensive perimeter, protected the inserted asset and then established observation posts to expand security coverage. By executing a long-range maritime air assault, the training validated the capability to rapidly deploy personnel and supplies over expanses of water and into austere environments. #YourADF #AusArmy #StrongerTogether @USMC @USArmy @TeamAFP
