The Australian Defence Force and up to 400 ADF personnel set up a temporary base at Hangar 81, alongside two Chinook Helitankers, to get hay to farmers, move generators to communities without power, provide essential items and if required, evacuate stranded residents and get them to safety.

As part of the response to recent flooding in Victoria, Task Unit Braham deployed two CH-47F Chinook Helicopters, assigned to the Joint Task Group 629.2 in support of the Victorian Government. We were proud to be working alongside, and in support of state emergency services and numerous professional and volunteer organisations to help Victorians in their time of need.

From our staging location at Essendon Fields Airport we were able to conduct a number of missions; providing air mobility for over 150 personnel and more than 11,000 pounds of cargo.
