"Brigadier Mark L. Bailey, commander of the Australian Army's 3rd Brigade"
Man, Mark L Bailey must be one of the most versatile officers the ADF has ever produced. Congrats on the new posting Mark.
Good point about the Kiwis Fred. A Brigade battlegroup to Korea would in all probability be an ANZAC one rather than a purely Australian one. Neither country has masses of troops available now or in the near future, for all their quality, so for a large joint deployment an ANZAC force could be cobbled together soonest. We've got the tanks, attack helicopters and fighter bombers but lets see how the commies react to a bunch of wild eyed Maori charging with the bayonet backed by M1s with those cute little red kangaroos that we put on our gear!!
