The 2010 Reserve Forces Day celebrations were launched by the Commander Second Division, Major General Craig Williams AM at Shore School Sydney on Saturday 5 December 2010.  The ceremony consisted of a parade of the Association Standards led by former commanders of the Second Division, 5 and 8 Brigades marshalled by Warrant Officer Harry Crampton, and commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Butler.

Each reservist at the launch who had served overseas and was present was then presented with a special sky blue ribbon to commemorate their service by The Hon Mr Roger Price MP representing the Prime Minister.

This was followed by speeches from Lieutenant Colonel John Moore AM, RFD, ED summing up the year 2009 (you can see the slide show he used to illustrate this by activating the button below); The Hon Sir Laurence Street AC, KMG, QC detailing the Reserve Forces Day plans for 2010; Captain Barrie Newman RFD, ED about his service in Kashmir and Vietnam (see button below to download transcript; Commander The Hon Peter Collins AM, RFD, QC on his service in Iraq; The Hon Roger Price MP who read the Prime Minister's message of support (see button below to access); and Major General Craig Williams AM who officially Launched Reserve Forces day 2010.

Planning is well underway for our Reserve Forces Day 2010 celebrations.

Our concept for 2010 is to acknowledge members who have served overseas in operations and have been awarded a medal for that service.
