OperationsNotable operations include:{{Cn|date=October 2017}}
Current AircraftThe regiment was planned to transition to the MRH 90 Taipan, an Australian variant of the NHI NH90, with the Black Hawk to be withdrawn from service by December 2013.[8] However, the MRH 90 Program encountered significant problems, and in particular, the NH90 had not been operated in a dedicated special operations role, delaying the withdrawal with the Chief of Army extending the service of 20 Black Hawks to 2022.[8][9] The MRH 90 will be introduced to the regiment in February 2019 starting with two aircraft under Plan Palisade which will require the development of a fast roping, rappelling and extraction system (FFRES), gun mount capable of firing the FN MAG58 machine gun and M134D minigun, and new cargo hook.[10][11][12]
Future acquisitionsLight helicopters are planned to be acquired for the regiment to enable special forces to insert, extract and provide fire support for small teams of special forces undertaking tasks ranging from tactical observation through to counter-terrorism missions, or hostage recovery, that are optimised for operating in dense urban environments and can be deployed in the Boeing C-17 Globemaster.[14][15] Project Land 2097 Phase 4 announced in the Defence White Paper 2016 will see at least 16 light helicopters acquired with deliveries commencing in 2022.[16] See also
