ALTC News - Wodonga

Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Craftsmen take a short break after digging shell scrapes before night arrives.

Having cover from shrapnel and probing forces adds to the soldiers’ survivability when static. The pits are refilled before moving to the next location, where the process begins all over again!

Meanwhile, back at the Combat Service Support component of the Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Field Exercise, final equipment issue and preparations take place, ready to occupy the position. Ammunition is dispensed and magazines checked.

The trainees then move down in platoons to watch the vehicle packets called forward from the Form Up Point to secure the site.

This is the first time the trainees have seen a tactical occupation of a position occur. As such, they are dismounted and watching from a short distance away to understand how the vehicles are controlled and laid out on the ground.

The work then begins to further develop the position and be ready to commence operations in support of Battle Group Waratah.

ASEME Oct 2025 6

It’s early morning at the Combat Service Support component of the Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Field Training Exercise. What a way to wake up! 

After conducting marry up with friendly forces and diagnosing the problem, call sign 22B required specialist parts to repair damaged equipment. Not having the parts on hand they secured the site and hunkered down for the night, waiting for a supply delivery the next morning to conduct the repairs and keep Battle Group Waratah in the fight!
