Recent Operations
Due to its unique capability, 5th Regiment RA does not deploy as a regiment; instead the sub-units take turns to support the deployed brigade. Likewise, 4/73 (Sphinx) Battery constantly supplies Fire Support Teams (FSTs) to Op Herrick on a rotational basis. To date, 5th Regiment RA has had troops deployed into Operational Theatres in one form or another since 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
