Rajawali AusIndo is one of several regular ‘AUSINDO’ exercises conducted between the two countries, focusing on the use of C-130 Hercules on airborne and airdrop missions, Australian Defence Ministry said, adding that it will also cover several other areas such as maritime patrol and air combat.

Through the exercise, aircrew and groundcrew from both countries will gain a better understanding of how each other operates, the ministry said.

Australia remains committed to working with its neighbours through exercises such as Rajawali AusIndo, sharing methods and practices which will deliver more effective air mobility in the real world, the ministry stated.
