U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Amy Roznowski, the Operations Officer with Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, is a key member planning MRF-D 2020 at Larrakeyah Barracks in Darwin, Australia. Roznowski, an Appleton, Wis., native, is in charge of all the operations planning including training, movement of personnel, and the overall scheduling of events for the exercise.
“My primary military occupational specialty is a pilot. On a day-to-day basis, if I was in a flying community, I would be executing a mission set that would be presented by an operations officer. But now, serving as the operations officer I delineate what missions need to get done. I think the fact that I have a great team behind me makes my job as the operations officer much easier. Operations officers normally have a very busy schedule and stressful time, but having an amazing team behind you makes it that much easier.”
The U.S. and Australian governments decided in late March to delay the rotation due to restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to resume the deployment comes as the government of Australia is granting an exemption to current travel restrictions to allow the 2020 MRF-D rotation to proceed, based on Australia’s record to date in managing impacts from COVID-19 as well as strict adherence by deployed U.S. Marines to the mandatory 14-day quarantine and other requirements.
