New Simulation Centre Boosts Australian Army Warfighting Capability

摘要

The close combat warfighting capability of the Australian Army has been strengthened by a $31 million investment in the delivery of a new, three-storey Armoured Vehicle Simulation Centre in Townsville. Townsville region businesses are set to play a major role in delivering the state-of-the-art facility, which is due to start this month and be finished in mid-2022. Its construction workforce is expected to peak at about 110 people per day. The facility will support the training of 3rd Brigade soldiers at Lavarack Barracks for the upgraded M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and incoming LAND 400 and LAND 8160 armoured vehicle capabilities.
