Exercise Kakadu 2022 has come to a close, with the theme of ‘partnership, leadership and friendship’ woven through a full program of activities in the seas and skies off Northern Australia and in Darwin from September 12-24.
Kakadu 2022 was one of the biggest iterations yet, having grown in scale and complexity over the past 30 years. This year’s exercise involved 15 warships – including a submarine – and 34 aircraft from 22 nations and more than 3000 sailors and officers.
