Australian Army Military Police will be honing their skills across the Wide Bay region between 20 and 25 October 2024 with Exercise Archbold.
The annual specialist certification activity will involve 1st Military Police Battalion’s Specialist Close Protection Unit from Brisbane.
Army personnel will be carrying weapons, blank ammunition and conducting a number of planned and controlled blank fire activities around specific venues and public spaces in Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach. Nearby residents will be advised in advance of planned blank fire activity timings and locations via letterbox drops and public notices.
The ADF is committed to building a more potent, capable and agile future force to better meet and respond to future challenges related to the defence of Australia and its national interests. The ADF greatly appreciates the support of the Wide Bay community.
