Prince Harry begins four-week Army training in Australia

#PrinceHarry #AustralianDefenceForce #Norforce #SydneyInternationalAirport Dressed in army fatigue, Prince Harry landed in Sydney International Airport on a Qantas flight from London – he is on a four-week army training with the Australian Army. This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 6 April 2015.
Prince Harry or Captain Wales, as he is known in the Army, will spend time with troops in Sydney, Darwin and Perth. He is also expected to participate in exercises with the country's Special Forces and Aboriginal soldiers as part of a long-running exchange program between UK and Australian forces.

He began his four-week placement with the Australian Defense Force (ADF) by laying a wreath at the country's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Canberra and by placing a poppy at the Roll of Honor. He then toured the First World War and Afghanistan Galleries at the Australian War Memorial and also interacted with members of the public. Later, he reported for duty to the Chief of the Defense Force and met senior army personnel.
The activities that he would connect with would be to work on helicopter simulators, train with the Special Air Service, and work with members of Norforce – this is mostly indigenous unit that patrols northern Australia.
On completion of his tenure with the Australian army, Prince Harry would return to royal duties with an official tour of New Zealand in May. It had been announced last month that he would be leaving the armed forces in June.
Incidentally, in the course of his 10-year military career, he has completed two tours of duty to Afghanistan and qualified as an Apache Aircraft Commander.
