We do encourage and support members of the Special Operations Command to continue to post on the Cove.
Captain Nathan Coultis is a former package master and instructor of the Intelligence Preparation of the BattleSpace, Operations & MAP, and DATE packages at the Defence Force School of Intelligence, Land Intelligence Wing.
