Even when it's a haunted house or a hungry sea monster, #YourADF will always be aware of dangers, preapred to respond and ready to keep Australia safe. No better day to embrace our spooky side and put a campfire story twist on our capabilities. #HappyHalloween

I wish the 2 @AustralianArmy members who were also injured a quick recovery. This is the worst day a family could ever experience, so I ask that you respect the privacy of defence members and families at this time.
