The 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3 RAR) is an Australian parachute battalion based in Sydney. 3 RAR was initially formed in 1945 as the Australian 67th Battalion and has seen active service in Japan, Korea, Malaya, South Vietnam and East Timor. 3 RAR was brought into the Australian media as it contained the first Australian Soldier to be killed in Iraq, Private Jacob Kovco. 3 RAR will convert to a light infantry battalion and relocate from Holsworthy Barracks, Sydney to Townsville by 2011.
