The RAA Association (New South Wales) Inc supports the work of the Regiment throughout Australia. Being located in New South Wales, the birthplace of the Regiment of Artillery in Australia, the association works closely with the local units. Artillery structure changes from time to time to meet the operational needs of the Australian army.
There are currently four artillery units based in NSW.
'A' Field Battery , 4th Field Regiment, is the oldest, regular unit in the Australian Army. The battery was raised in Sydney 1 August, 1871 and is today located at Holsworthy.
1 Ground Liaison Group is co-located with RAAF units.
There are two Army Reserve Regiments in NSW:
7 Field Regiment is based at Pymble and has sub-units located in Dee Why and Newcastle.
23 Field Regiment is based at Kogarah and has sub-units located in Holsworthy, Sutherland, and Canberra. The Regiment celebrated its 60th Birthday in July 2008, and hosted an Open Day to celebrate. Click <here> to view pictures taken on the day.
