Australia Day Honours 2021

Colonel Damien John McLACHLAN CSC has been Awarded a Bar to his Conspicuous Service Cross.

His Award citation reads:COL Mclaughlin

For outstanding devotion to duty as the Director Technical Regulation and Evaluation - Army in Logistics Branch, Army Headquarters.

Colonel Damien McLachlan's exceptional dedication and devotion to duty, and outstanding technical and interpersonal skill have changed the culture around material maintenance and technical regulation across the Land Force. He has simplified policy and enabled commanders to develop, risk manage and deliver fit-for-purpose and safe capability for the Land Force.

In Spanner News Edition 2 last year Brigadier Todd Ashurst wrote an article on the Engineering Workforce Review. Here is an extract:

The Engineer Workforce Review is reviewing the RAEME Ground Engineer officer workforce. Phase 1A of this review will examine the Engineer requirements within Army; while Phase 1B will examine the workforce within our Acquisition and Sustainment Group. Phase 2 will determine the skills requirements for the Ground engineering workforce, across all Service Categories (SERCATs), Australian Public Servants (APS) and contracted supporting agencies. The key outcome will be an Employment Specification and career model for RAEME Ground Engineers, which will articulate the requirements and roles for our people, by discipline, at each rank or skills level, using qualifications and credentialing as a baseline. 

This important body of work being progressed by COL Damien McLachlan, the Director of Technical Regulation and Evaluation – Army (DTRE-A) and will establish the baseline for what RAEME engineering officers need to be ‘Ready Now’ and inform the Technical Workforce Review to determine how we become ‘Future Ready’.

Colonel Mclaughlan also presented at the Defence Seaworthiness Symposium on 17 September 2020 on Army’s Approach to Updating and Modernising its Compliance Strategy.

On behalf of the RAQ we congratulate Colonel McLachlan on his award.
