Exercise Black Dagger 23-1

Exercise Black Dagger 🖤🗡️

#ICYMI Students of No. 71 Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) Course showed their ability to think on their feet during the course’s culminating activity.

The exercise, at RAAF Base Townsville from May 22 to June 2, required students to coordinate the delivery of simulated and live ordnance from supporting aircraft integrated with a ground fire and manoeuvre scenario.

The course is a vital part of enabling graduates to execute the planning, briefing, controlling and reporting needed to conduct battlefield close air support.

F-35A Lightning II from 77 Squadron and Pilatus PC-21 from 4 Squadron supported the exercise, while CH-47F Chinooks from @AustralianArmyHQ 5 Aviation Regiment and an M777 155mm howitzer from 4 Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery played key roles.
