Bon Appétit. 👨‍🍳🤌

Recently, Australian Army apprentice chefs graduated culinary school and are moving on to fuel hungry soldiers. 😋

Apprentice chefs attend the ADF school of catering and earn a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery while learning essential army skills. 🍽 🪖

At the completion of their training they are posted to the 17th Sustainment Brigade and take up positions around Australia and aboard naval vessels.

Today marks 15 years since the passing of Lance Corporal Andrew Gordon Jones during operations in Afghanistan on 30 May 2011.

Lance Corporal Jones served his country with dedication, professionalism and quiet determination. A skilled cook and respected soldier, he was known among his mates for his reliability, humour and willingness to always put others first.

Having served on operations in both East Timor and Afghanistan, Lance Corporal Jones embodied the values of service and mateship throughout his Army career.

Today we remember his sacrifice, honour his service, and acknowledge the lasting impact he left on his family, friends, colleagues, the Australian Army Catering Corps and the wider Defence community.

Lest we forget.🌺

Keeping the whirlybirds fuelled and flying 🚁

Teams from the 10th Force Support Battalion - Australian Army man a Refuelling Point Aviation (RPA), ensuring that our 16th Aviation Brigade - Australian Army friends can keep racing through the skies.

The RPA allows our forces to refuel in remote, austere locations where you won't find a standard servo ⛽️.

In, Out, On Guard, Advance 🗡️
What's your best "Bayo Day" war story?

Soldiers from the 10th Force Support Battalion - Australian Army recently undertook the Bayonet Assault Course.

The Bayo Course is a test of the combat mindset, our physical conditioning and the use of controlled aggression. In times of war, we need to be ready to fight and be hard to kill. This training serves as a foundation for all Corps soldiers to build upon throughout their careers and in their mission specific roles.

Always time for a yarn 🗣️

Checking in with the teams that make up the 17th Sustainment Brigade is integral to managing the national spread of our Direct Command Units.

Thanking them for their hard work so far in 2026 and ensuring the teams understand our mission as we build through this year's training activities.
