SYDNEY, April 13 — A woman will command Australia’s army for the first time since its founding 125 years ago, Defence Minister Richard Marles said today as he unveiled the “deeply historic” appointment.
Lieutenant General Susan Coyle was named Australia’s Chief of Army following a three-decade career during which she has served in the Solomon Islands, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
“Her achievement means that she will be the first woman to command a service in Australian history,” Marles told reporters.
“And it is a deeply historic moment. As Susan said to me, you cannot be what you cannot see.”
Australia’s army is in the throes of a major transformation, equipping itself with long-range firepower, drones and other modern combat tools.
Coyle stressed her experience in areas such as cyber-warfare.
“This breadth of experience provides a strong foundation for the responsibilities of command and the trust placed in me,” she said. — AFP
