Royal Australian Artillery


	For as long as battles have been fought, soldiers have been trying to throw the biggest stone, the most accurate arrow or the deadliest bomb further than their foes. The role of the Royal Australian Artillery (RAA) is to support the other arms and services, by establishing such fire supremacy in the battle area that the enemy can neither interfere with our operations, nor develop his own effectively.
There are currently three main career areas where you can be employed within Artillery.
