According to a press release from the ADF, the prince will visit the Australian War Memorial, along with Australian government and military officials upon his arrival. He will then report to the Chief of Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin for duty.
While attached to the ADF, the prince, known as Captain Wales, will “take part in a range of unit-based activities and training exercises,” the Australian Defense Ministry says. Exercises will include urban training, regional bush patrols, flight simulation, aviation, joint fire and indigenous engagement activities.
Prince Harry will also undergo physical and first air training and meet with injured, wounded and ill Australian service personnel.
The prince had announced his planned attachment with the ADF last month when he announced his official decision to leave the British military.
