Training with all parachutes, except the Military Javelin Parachute System – the parachute type used during the March training incident – has resumed as of 7 May.
The aircraft will take part for the first time in the annual military exercise between the five nations in the Five Power Defence Arrangements, according to comments made by Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Richard Marles.
During the launch, two Australian-supplied AGM-84 Harpoon guided missiles were successfully fired by No. 5 Squadron and struck the decommissioned target ship, USS Juneau, in the Philippine Sea on 27 June this year.
