A Great Success!

Association Standards

The Parades in 2008 were a great success, with parades in 19 cities, and the largest turn-out ever for Reserve Forces Day.  Reports are coming in from parade centres, use the button below to see what happened.  Association standards provided through the generosity of the Pratt foundation were a feature of the National Parade in Sydney. Certificates are being prepared for those who attended, and will be with the Associations shortly.  There is also a button below that will take you to a 15 minute video of the National Parade (Internet Explorer, Broadband Connection and Windows Media player required; CLICK HERE to download (14.2 mb) if you are not using IE but have WMP).

Sir Laurence Street the National Chairman The objective of the Reserve Forces Day is to raise the profile of the Navy, Army and Air Force Reserve, to recognise former and serving Reservists (including those who served in the Citizen's Military Forces (CMF), and Citizen's Air Force (CAF)) and to thank partners and employers for their support.

Reserve Forces Day is celebrated across Australia and is the annual recognition for serving and former members, the 1.25M Australians who have served in the nation's Reserve Forces. These public parades would not be possible without the wonderful support of our sponsors.
