The Eurocopter Tiger is a four-bladed, twin-engined attack helicopter which first entered service in 2003. It is manufactured by Eurocopter, the successor company to Aérospatiale's and Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG's respective helicopter divisions, which designate it as the EC 665. In Germany it is known as the Tiger; in France and Spain it is called the Tigre.
Development of the Tiger started during the Cold War, and it was initially intended as an anti tank helicopter platform to be used against a Soviet ground invasion of Western Europe. During its prolonged development period the Soviet Union collapsed, but France and Germany chose to proceed with the Tiger, developing it instead as a multirole attack helicopter. It achieved operational readiness in 2008.
The Tiger has the distinction of being the first all-composite helicopter developed in Europe; even the earliest models also incorporate other advanced features such as a glass cockpit, stealth technology and high agility in order to increase its survivability. Improved variants have since entered service, outfitted with more powerful engines and compatible with a wider range of weapons. Since the type's introduction to service, Tigers have been used in combat in Afghanistan, Libya, and Mali.
It was a pretty exciting day in Tubbut yesterday - firstly we woke to our first glimpse of blue sky for two whole weeks, bringing with it clean air and new bunch of positivity, AND then... out of that beautiful blue, flew in a Singaporean Airforce Chinook, with Aussie Army and Red Cross personnel, 7News and an entire trailer full of groceries, water and extra eye protection and masks. It was truly humbling to receive the care and practical help. #SingaporeanAirforce #SingaporeanArmy #AustralianArmy #RedCross

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served". Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served in the Gallipoli campaign, their first engagement in the First World War (1914–1918).

- This unique image of daily life in downtown Beirut during the early years of World War 2 was shot by my late father-in-law Tom Beazley,during his unit's big convoy move from Julis re-training Camp, via Beyrouth, to Ras Baalbek operations camp in Syria (later North Lebanon).
- The map location is a very close approximation.
- I'm not sure whether Tom is facing north or south here, since El Shouhada passes either side of the square gardens - so I've taken a punt & gone for north, based on the shadows - presumably the shot was taken in the afternoon.
- Also, translation of the Arabic advertising sign might be helpful, so any assistance in either regard would be much appreciated!

An Australian Army soldier from 2nd Commando Regiment at Avalon Airport, Victoria, during counter-terrorism training in May 2019.
The training was part of the Mars series of exercises used by the 2nd Commando Regiment’s online hostage recovery/counter-terrorism company to build capacity in its role as Tactical Assault Group—East (TAG–E). TAG–E is the Australian Defence Force’s ‘in extremis’ online counter-terrorist force, which is designed to respond to a terrorist incident in the national interests or to support state/territory police when their own resources are insufficient.
2nd Commando Regiment soldiers successfully assaulted a Sydney ferry in Middle Harbour from 6th Aviation Regiment Black Hawk helicopters and rigid-hulled inflatable boats in one of the counter-terrorism training scenarios. Other training scenarios involved conducting assaults on high-rise buildings, sporting arenas, ships, aircraft and other types of transport. TAG–E is drawn from 2nd Commando Regiment and supplemented with Royal Australian Navy clearance divers and Special Operations Engineer Regiment combat engineers.
2nd Commando Regiment is part of the Australian Army’s Special Operations Command, which provides the Australian Government and Army with special forces capabilities in support of the national interest.
