Description
Gunner (Gnr) Kurt Schueler (seated) and Bombardier (Bdr) Jamie Cormwall (standing), from the 16th Air Defence detachment deployed on board HMAS Kanimbla, operate an RBS-70 missile launcher while on operations in the Persian Gulf. During Operation Falconer, HMAS Kanimbla supplied command and control support to the coalition boarding parties clearing the Khawr Abd Allah (KAA) waterway, and logistics support and work platform facilities to Australian Clearance Diving Team 3 (AUSCDT3). HMAS Kanimbla operated in the Middle East as part of the Australian commitment to the Coalition forces assembled to disarm Iraq.
