This article probably should be renamed Australian Army Reserve and the CMF stuff put in a History sub-section. --kudz75 02:02, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I was just wondering why the Army Reserve was listed under Ares (disambiguation) for "Australian Army Reserve, the reserve component of the Australian Army". I didn't find a mention of the word Ares in this article and I was wondering if it was some kind of mistake? Bongomanrae 01:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Worth putting in the list of units? Jacketed 08:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
This page looks so much better. It is much longer, with a ton more content and resources. Kudos to whoever fixed it, you did a wonderful job! thanks, Ono (talk) 02:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not comfortable about the citation provided for the photo (of regular soldiers) with the caption begining 'Australian infantry during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2007...'. A single Army Reserve battalion's official website is not a suitable source for such a big claim, especially as it isn't clear to me where on the website this is stated. Many expert reports over the past ten or so years have stated that Army Reserve units other than the RFSUs are the poor cousins of the regular units and the photo caption directly contradicts this (see, for example the 2008 ASPI report on the Army which states that the reserves don't have enough equipment to be fully mobilised and this 2003 news story which is already being used as a source which states that only 22% of one reserve unit's equipment was operational in 2003). I'd suggest that both this photo and its caption be removed from the article. Nick-D (talk) 08:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
One topic the article should cover is the reserve artillery regiments being re-equipped with 81mm mortars and most of the cavalry/light horse regiments moving from an armoured recon/transport role to a light cavalry role by swapping their M-113s for land rovers and scout teams. I'd add this, but I don't have sources for either at hand. From memory, I've read that the role of the artillery regiments is now primarily to provide mortar teams and personnel to the reserve and regular infantry battalions, which seems probable.

"while units of the Militia were used in garrison duties at home in Australia.[25]" Minor point of accuracy - garrison duty extended to New Guinea as well at this time.
15th Btn Detachment, renamed 49th Btn Details performed garrison duty in Port Moresby from 6 Jul 1940. The Detachment totalled 6 officers & 160 ORs. From 1 Aug 1940 PNG was incorporated into the Australian defence systems as 8th Military District.
