With Logistics Support Vessel 7 SSGT Robert Kuroda already in Australia for Talisman Sabre 2023, the conditions were set to transport Australian Defence Force tanks and equipment to Indonesia for Super Garuda Shield.
Maj. Nathaniel Sanders, Capt. Margaret Maher and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jason Earl, all with 8th Theater Sustainment Command, were heavily involved in the planning, coordination, and synchronization with the ADF, United States Marines Corps, and the Darwin and Indonesian Port Authorities to ensure all aspects of the operation went smoothly.
“Early in the planning for Super Garuda Shield we recognized there was an opportunity to transport ADF equipment to Indonesia utilizing our Army watercraft,” said Maher. “Overall, things went great and we demonstrated how well our forces work together.”
