My name is Mal Gray, and I am the President of the 2RAR Association. It is with great pleasure I welcome you to the 2RAR Association Website.

Our Mission:

Is to foster camaraderie among the serving and ex serving members of the Battalion. The Association exists for ALL members who have served in the 2nd Battalion or the 2/4th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment, regardless of where that service occurred. By building on the bonds formed in service and our shared identity we encourage our membership to become self-reliant and independent members of the community.
