Description
No. 36 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is responsible for strategic air transport in Australia and overseas, conducting missions as part of military operations and humanitarian efforts. It is located at RAAF Base Amberley, Queensland, and controlled by No. 86 Wing, which is part of Air Mobility Group. No. 86 Wing is a transport and air-to-air refuelling wing. No. 36 Squadron's official crest, approved in May 1966, depicts a horse intended to symbolise strength, speed, mobility and dependability. The unit's motto is "Sure". The squadron operates six Boeing C-17 Globemaster IIIs, the first of which entered service in December 2006. In May 2006, No. 36 Squadron personnel began conversion training in the US in preparation for re-equipping with Boeing C-17 Globemaster III heavy transports. In November 2010 the squadron took delivery of its sixth and last Globemaster. The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a military transport aircraft that carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. The C-17 is projected to be in service for several decades.
