Warrant Officer Class Two Lachlan Muddle, a 50-year-old Special Air Service Regiment paratrooper with 30 years of service, died Monday during a parachute training exercise at Jervis Bay Airfield in NSW when he collided with another soldier about 100 feet above the ground. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Defence Minister Richard Marles paid tribute to Muddle, describing him as one of the ADF's finest, while all parachute operations across Australia were paused pending investigation.
