Talk:Australian Army Reserve

message: I was just wondering why the Army Reserve was listed under Ares (disambiguation) for "Australian Army Reserve, the reserve component of the Australian Army". I didn't find a mention of the word Ares in this article and I was wondering if it was some kind of mistake? Bongomanrae 01:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This page looks so much better. It is much longer, with a ton more content and resources. Kudos to whoever fixed it, you did a wonderful job! thanks, Ono (talk) 02:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: T'was me that rewrote it, but I can't take all the credit. Others like Hawkeye7, David Underdown and the appropriately named Anotherclown helped with the MoS tweaking, fixing my shocking spelling and grammar and by adding a few points I'd missed. Cheers guys for all your help. AustralianRupert (talk) 22:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This has changed from being a poor article to an outstanding one - great work! Nick-D (talk) 07:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wow 

message: One topic the article should cover is the reserve artillery regiments being re-equipped with 81mm mortars and most of the cavalry/light horse regiments moving from an armoured recon/transport role to a light cavalry role by swapping their M-113s for land rovers and scout teams. I'd add this, but I don't have sources for either at hand. From memory, I've read that the role of the artillery regiments is now primarily to provide mortar teams and personnel to the reserve and regular infantry battalions, which seems probable.

replies: text: Yes, I've heard this too from people I know serving in these roles. I'll hunt around and see if I can find any sources. Army News might have something, not sure though. — AustralianRupert (talk) 23:14, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is correct (he says beginning to cry...) There are a few exceptions though off the top of my head: the reserve battery in 1st Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery still use guns (155mm in fact), while the 12th/16th Hunter River Lancers use Bushmaster and have seen a bit of operational service as a result (I believe they operate in a similar way to B Sqn, 3/4 Cav). There may be a few other exceptions for the artillery in particular that I'm not aware of though. Anotherclown (talk) 23:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

message: "while units of the Militia were used in garrison duties at home in Australia.[25]" 
Minor point of accuracy - garrison duty extended to New Guinea as well at this time.
15th Btn Detachment, renamed 49th Btn Details performed garrison duty in Port Moresby from 6 Jul 1940. The Detachment totalled 6 officers & 160 ORs. From 1 Aug 1940 PNG was incorporated into the Australian defence systems as 8th Military District.
