Every day is an adventure for Leading Aircraftwoman Grace Jarvis! 🔥🚒👩🚒 As a dedicated firefighter in #AusAirForce, she graduated from her fire course in 2019 and has been protecting lives and assets ever since. With no day ever the same at 23 Squadron, LACW Jarvis said a typical day starts with a handover, vehicle and equipment check. "We then conduct training to keep our skills up-to-date. This can range from smoking buildings out and doing search-and-rescue techniques to going over power points on different jets learning the dangers associated with them and how we can keep our members safe," she said. 23 Squadron in Amberley is part of Combat Support Group and includes logistics, security, physical training instructors, mechanical equipment operations and maintenance section, fire, catering, movements, supply and personnel capability.

About us
The Royal Australian Air Force is a world-class military force operating some of the most advanced aircraft and defence technology in use anywhere today. We may be the second oldest Air Force in the world, but we sure look young for our age! Since our formation in 1921 we have set a proud record protecting Australia alongside the Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army. This tradition continues today. Each day, our personnel deliver Australian air power, whenever and wherever, it is needed. Built on the proud history and traditions of the Australian Flying Corps and the Royal Australian Air Force, we will fight and win by generating integrated kinetic and non-kinetic air and space effects across the sea, land, air, space and cyber operating domains. Air Force provides immediate and responsive military options across the spectrum of operations as part of a Whole of Government joint or coalition response. We exploit the air power characteristics of persistent and precision effect, flexibility, perspective, reach, penetration, versatility and responsiveness. We are leaders in command and control of air and space operations; intelligence, surveillance and response; and targeting. We are the leaders for strategic, operational, tactical, technical and logistic management of Australia's military aviation capability.

At #AusAirForce we recognise the critical role of science, technology, engineering and mathematics #STEM has in shaping our skilled workforce and how these skills generate air power for Air Force. 🔬🛰️🔧📐✈️ Innovation, science and technology has a key role in assisting the ADF to operate in complex and contested operating environments, as well as addressing emerging operational challenges. #DYK currently over 30 percent of civilian roles and more than 40 percent of military roles in #YourADF are involved in STEM. This year's theme for #scienceweek is “Species Survival – More Than Just Sustainability”. #STEMworkforce #Innovation

A big shoutout to our #PitchBlack24 participants from #AusAirForce, Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the Spanish Air and Space Force! 🙌 They took a break from training to give back to the community by volunteering at the local Foodbank NT warehouse. Flying Officer Annika Zerbes, a RAAF nursing officer, expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to contribute. “I’ve been posted to Darwin for two years now and haven’t done anything like this before. It feels good to give back to the community and be a part of something like this – I’m really grateful to be here,” Flying Officer Zerbes said.

On this day in 1964, three DHC-4 Caribou transport aircraft landed in Vung Tau, heralding the beginning of the RAAF's presence in Vietnam. This pivotal moment marked the establishment of the RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam, formed just weeks earlier at Butterworth on 20 July 1964. ✈️🇦🇺 #onthisday #AusAirForce 📸 | Australian War Memorial

35 Squadron supporting our troops on the Kokoda Track with precision and skill! 🪂 During a deployment to Papua New Guinea as part of Defence Pacific Air Program, the crew of the C-27J Spartan was tasked with supplying ADF members completing the trek in honour of those who fought on the unforgiving terrain over 80 years ago. With no usable airstrip in range, the crew saw an opportunity to implement a resupply from the air with a contingency air drop. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e8aWGH6R #AusAirForce

Embracing new challenges! Stepping out of the cockpit and into new opportunities. For Squadron Leader Zalie Duffy transitioning from the skies to the ground was an amazing opportunity to broaden her leadership skills and knowledge of Air Force. “I’ve experienced Combat Support Group from an aircrew perspective, but I was a little bit apprehensive coming in at first,” Squadron Leader Duffy said. “Combat Support Group is a big machine with many different cogs that all come together to run airbase operations, and I don’t think I appreciated all the musterings until now.” Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gSVSE_eY 📸 | FLGOFF Michael Thomas
