The Australian soldier was highly regarded on the battlefield in WW1 and WW2, they were able to think independently and creatively and were hardy, adaptable, loyal to their mates and mostly very brave. Moving forward through time Australian soldiers have continued to be trained effectively in respects to modern warfare and with particular attention to the theatres in which they will operate both within and external to Australia. The ability to work coercively as part of a unit and individually towards mission success is promoted also.
It has nothing to do with hunting at all, in the desert or anywhere else for that matter, and it would be nice if you would cease saying so. Sport shooting and hunting is not military-oriented and there's no correlation between the two these days.
I understand.
