Australia supported Vietnam’s first deployment of a Role 2 field hospital to a United Nations peacekeeping mission through providing two airlifts by Royal Australian Air Force C-17A Globemaster aircraft in late September 2018. 

Additionally, the Australian Defence Force provided the Vietnamese Peacekeepers with English language training and other specialist equipment as part of Australia’s Defence Cooperation Program with Vietnam. 

The strategic airlift was the first time the Vietnamese military partnered with another nation to take its forces overseas.

Posted on | by Caroline Teames | Leave a Comment on Day in the Life of an F-35A Maintainer 

The F-35A Joint Strike Fighter is the most advanced, affordable fifth generation multi-role stealth fighter to meet Australia’s need to defeat emerging threats well into the future. 

The F-35A is truly next-generation due to its stealth capability, advanced sensors, data fusion and its ability to share information with other aircraft, Army units and Navy ships. 

The Australian Government has approved the purchase of 72 F-35A aircraft to replace F/A-18A/B Hornets. 

Royal Australian Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel are fully embedded and integrated in USAF squadrons as they prepare to lead Australia’s transition to a fifth-generation Air Force.
