Draft:1st Close Health Battalion
Disbanded Battalion of the Australian Army / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1st Close Health Battalion (1CHB) was a unit of the 17th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion. It was headquartered at the Robertson Army Barracks in Darwin. It had sub-units located in Darwin, Townsville and Brisbane. In 2022 RAAMC restructured how its units would be organised disbanding 1CHB and raising the 1st Health Battalion (Australia) which would act as its spiritual successor and remain in Darwin as well as the 2nd Health Battalion (Australia) in Brisbane, the 3rd Health Battalion (Australia) in Townsville and the 4th Health Battalion (Australia) in Adelaide. These new units would all fall under the 2nd Health Brigade.

The unit traced its lineage back to the 1st Field Hospital, which was raised in the 1960s for service as part of Australia's contribution to the Vietnam War. Since then, the unit has changed names twice and personnel have been deployed on numerous peacekeeping and warlike operations throughout Africa, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
