At present (2007) t is a major re-organisation of the Australian Army in progress. The army wishes to operate six battalion groups within three brigades (one light, one motorised, and one mechanised). This has seen the formation of a new mechanised infantry battalion by breaking up the composite battalion of the 5th/7th Battalion (5/7 RAR), to re-form the 5th Battalion and 7th Battalion as separate formations on the RAR's establishment. A further light infantry/motorised battalion was formed on 31 October 2007 with the re-raising of the 8th/9th Battalion (8/9 RAR). The free listing tool.
