摘要：I n 2015, the Australian Army designated the 2d Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), as the core of an amphibious force. Over the next 3 years, 2RAR trained and grew in size until the Amphibious Ready Group consisted of a reinforced battalion strength organization with combined arms enablers aboard three amphibious platforms. Beginning in 2015, a combat engineer troop (designated 21 Troop) was raised within the 2RAR support company to provide specialist amphibious combat engineer support to the battalion. In Australian Commonwealth nomenclature, an engineer or cavalry troop is equivalent to a U.S. Army platoon and a squadron to a U.S. Army company. This arrangement was unique in the Australian Army, as traditionally, a combat engineer regiment provides engineer support. The establishment of an organic combat engineer troop within the battalion provided an unparalleled opportunity to develop amphibious engineering tactics, techniques, and procedures.
