THIRTY-Seven Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) infantry, logisticians and engineers left for Australia aboard a Royal Australian Air Force C-17A Globemaster III aircraft on Tuesday.

In a social media update, the Australian High Commission in Fiji shared photos of the officers at the Nadi International Airport and aboard the aircraft wearing face masks and gloves.

The officers will undergo basic foundation individual and collective training in Queensland with the 7th Combat Brigade when they complete the mandatory two weeks of quarantine.

The Australian Defence Force continues to work with the RFMF to maintain key skillsets and bilateral relationships despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
