Sydney, Mar 17 (IBNS): Prince Harry is all set to be embedded with the Australian Army, officials said on Tuesday.

Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin said Prince Harry, or Captain Harry Wales as he is known in the British Army, will be embedded with a number of Australian Army units and regiments in Sydney, Darwin and Perth.

“We have prepared a challenging program that will see Captain Wales deploy on urban and field training exercises, domestic deployments, as well as participate in Indigenous engagement activities," Binskin was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the defence.gov.au.

“While all our units are highly capable, we have selected those units that best utilise Captain Wales’ skill sets and give him some experience of the diverse range of capability we have within the ADF,”  Binskin said.

“Importantly, we are pleased that Captain Wales will be able to see first hand the work the ADF is doing to support wounded, injured and ill members,”Binskin said.
