The announcement came as Western Australia’s Pilbara Regiment recently celebrated the presentation and consecration of new Regimental Colours, acknowledging the Regiment’s long history in keeping Australia safe with the unit’s unique detection activities in the country's north-west.

The Pilbara regiment was established as a Regional Force Surveillance Unit for the Australian Army, specialising in the collection of critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data in Western Australia’s vast north-west region.
