It has been a year that has seen the appointment of a new Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Rick Burr, the deployment of many RAEME officers and soldiers overseas, the constant Force Generation Cycle preparing our soldiers for war, and the continual introduction of new equipment. This operational/work tempo has now become the new normal and we in RAEME have embraced it. I have been fortunate throughout the year to visit many units across Army and I have witnessed the great work we as a Corps are doing. Our significant contribution to the Australian Army is recognised and frequently acknowledged by the senior leadership and our reputation as professional technicians grows in strength. The HOC presenting the outgoing The HOC presenting the This year I had the opportunity to visit our Colonel in Chief, His Royal Deputy Heads of Corps with retiring Representative Colonel Highness, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.

The main reason for my visit was to thank His Royal Highness for his commitment to remain appreciative that we valued his commitment to RAEME. We also associated with our Corps. spoke about our Corps Banner – The Prince Philip Banner, which he recalled presenting it to us in 1986, and of our 75th Anniversary – I thanked him for the letter he sent which I read aloud at the Corps Dining-in-Night that was held at the National War Memorial. I would like to make mention of our Corps Conference which was held in October at Sydney. The Corps Conference, like the Army, must be self-correcting and continuously change and evolve in order to remain relevant and effective. This year the conference was very structured and I would like to acknowledge the work done by our seven Topic Leads who wrote and led the discussion papers in the months leading up to the conference, as well as presenting their findings
