LAND ROVER QUICK RESPONSE VEHICLE Airfield Defence Guards (ADGies) operate Quick Response Force Land Rover series 110 4x4 gun buggies. They mount two 7.62 mm MAG 58 generalpurpose machine guns. The primary purpose of ADGies is the defence of RAAF bases, personnel, aircraft and assets from ground attack. Airfield Defence Guards are elite troops, and selection is very rigorous.

	OSHKOSH P4 CRASH, FIRE, RESCUE TENDER The Oshkosh P4 6x6 Crash, Fire & Rescue Tender was introduced into RAAF service in the mid 1970s. This rear engined vehicle carried 5,700 litres of water. It had two remotely controlled nozzles - one was mounted on the front panel and the other on top of the cab. The Caterpillar 1693TA (Turbocharged/Intercooled) 6 cylinder in line 14.6 litre engine developed 425 horsepower, giving the P4 an amazing turn of speed, despite its gross weight of over 21 tonnes. This vehicle is represented in the drawing on secondment from RAAF Pearce to the bare base of RAAF Learmonth in Western Australia. Two Macchi jet trainers fly low overhead.

	AUSTRAL TRIDENT CFR TENDER The Austral Trident Crash, Fire & Rescue tender is the primary emergency vehicle of the RAAF. The "Over Size" markings are well warranted, as this vehicle is huge. Consequently, it is not air transportable. Apart from two remotely controlled monitors, one on the front panel and the other on the cab roof, there are ground sweep nozzles under the front bumper, and four self-protection nozzles which play water onto the tyres. This vehicle was based at RAAF Pearce in Western Australia. A Macchi jet trainer is on final approach overhead. Aspect: Landscape Order Code: R5 - RAAF Fire Service Badge
	EMERGENCY ONE TITAN CFR TENDER The E-ONE Titan 4x4 Crash, Fire and Rescue tender carries 3,785 litres of water and 492 litres of foam compound. The roof turret can discharge this at the rate of 2,839 litres per minute, to a range of 58 metres. The rear mounted Detroit Diesel can accelerate the 21 tonne vehicle from zero to 80 kph in just 25 seconds. It has a top speed of 105 kph. The Titan is an extremely compact design, and is air transportable by the RAAF's C130 Hercules aircraft. This American designed vehicle is manufactured under licence by the Australian Fire Company of Adelaide, South Australia. The Titan depicted here is based at RAAF Richmond in New South Wales. The Titan saw service in East Timor. Aspect: Landscape Order Code: R6 - RAAF Fire Service Badge.
	OKA QUICK RESPONSE VEHICLE The OKA two tonne 4x4 twin cab chassis was fitted with a compact fire fighting and rescue body and served with the RAAF as a quick response emergency vehicle.

	C A C BOOMERANG The launching of a Pacific theatre of war by the Japanese Empire on 7th December 1941 placed Australia in a highly vulnerable position. Lacking modern fighter aircraft for home defence, and unable to procure them from either the United Kingdom or the United States of America, the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation designed the Boomerang fighter in a matter of weeks. The prototype was built, and was test flown, in a mere fourteen weeks. The result of this prodigious feat of engineering was a tough, highly manoeuvrable and well armed fighter.

	OKA TWIN CAB 2 TON GS TRUCK The Australian designed and built OKA two ton truck is used by the RAAF as well as by the Australian Army. One Air Force user of the OKA was the Air Transportable Telecommunications Unit. The ATTU changed its title to 1 Combat Communications Squadron in July 1999. This unit is highly mobile, and is able to reestablish ground communications and control at airstrips that either have no facilities, or where existing facilities have been damaged.
