Exercise Hamel

Special Operations Engineer Regiment, Exercise Hamel is a major Army exercise that is designed to evaluate the war fighting skills of a Brigade. As each of the Army's combat brigades goes through the force generation cycle of 'readying - ready - reset', major exercises - such as Exercise Hamel - allow commanders to ensure their formations and units are battle ready and for headquarters to exercise their processes and procedures. The exercises are also the perfect activity to allow Australian forces to interact with allied forces that may participate. The exercise will take place in the larger training areas of Cultana in South Australia and Shoalwater Bay in Central Queensland with other training areas providing locations for associated components of the exercises such as Mountain Areas in the Northern Territory or High Range Training Area in North Queensland and airspace and maritime zones adjacent such that all elements of the ADF can conduct their training.
