Welcome to the 8th/12th Medium Regiment
Royal Australian Artillery.
8/12 Mdm Regt was founded in Holsworthy in
November 1973 when both 8th Medium
Regiment and 12th Field Regiment were
amalgamated.
In the mid 70's 8/12 Mdm Regt was the parent
unit of such Batteries as "A" Field Battery,
103 Medium Battery, 102 Field Battery 131
Divisional Locating Battery and Headquarter
Battery. Over time 131 Div Loc
Bty became an independent Battery and
relocated to Enoggera Army Camp in Brisbane
QLD, 102 Fd Bty was redesignated 102 Mdm Bty
and subsequently disbanded in 1987, "A" Fd
Bty was relocated to form part of 4th
Field Regiment. Details of "A" Fd Bty can
be found on the 4 Fd Regt sub site. 8/12 Mdm Regt was relocated to the newly built
Robertson Barracks in Darwin in 1999 where
103 Mdm Bty remains operational along with
the newly formed 101 Mdm Bty.
