Whose Name We Share

93 The Battery finished the year on Operation COVID Assist once again, this time filling numbers for the Joint Task Group 629 Tasmania. Stationed out of Anglesea Barracks, the battery supported various hotels in providing security for quarantining travellers – mostly international fruit pickers and the like. The commitment was minimalist in nature, but provided the Tasmanian Government the peace of mind that life could continue as normal. The Battery found this task to be more relaxing than previous trips throughout the year, able to enjoy what Hobart had to offer through local leave and the unique experiences that Army has to offer. 2021 was a successful year filled with challenges and significant successes that enhanced the capability of army as a whole. The strong relationships formed during this year resulted in army obtaining smooth operation with multi nation forces through a centralised internationally integrated command structure, of which the 103 rd Battery played a role. The bonds formed went beyond mere friendships, these directly influenced results on the ground by way of how we as people interacted with each other, despite being from different backgrounds, from behind different borders or with different equipment. Through respect for one another we were able to achieve our goals for 2021 with relative ease and produce considerable results. The 103 rd Battery was able to enjoy a successful year thanks to not only the efforts provided by the members but through the support given to us from our mates across the sea.
