Singleton
A school for combat experience
In October 1973, the Infantry Centre moved from Ingleburn to Singleton in the Hunter Valley. During early 1994 the title ‘Infantry Centre’ was officially dropped, and the title ‘School of Infantry’ was officially given prominence.
Its organisation included the School Headquarters and three wings:
- Rifleman Wing
- Tactics Wing
- Soldier Support Wing

I commenced full-time ministry with The Salvation Army at the start of 1999. Before that I spent 18 years working as a tradesman patternmaker.
My 25-plus years of ministry has been served in six church postings across New South Wales and Western Australia, plus two chaplaincy postings in Newcastle and Western Sydney. I posted as a RSDS Sallyman in 2024.
Special forces training
There were also some special forces and specialist training units attached to the school as well.
Rifleman Wing conducts initial employment training of new combat infantrymen and is staffed by some of the best officers and non-commissioned officers that the military can provide. These veterans impart what a soldier needs to know from actual combat experience, not just from a field manual. Trainees come to Singleton from basic training for 13 weeks of intensive training, before posting to a Battalion elsewhere in the country.
