Description
One of a series of eleven based on the rankings in the Australian Army
Military personnel are constantly being moved from post to post and those in this series are much the same
However, the Field Marshal has ordered that his troops needed a permanent base, HEADQUARTERS, for their benefit.
So, part of their duties is to return to headquarters, not at the given co-ordinates, by working out where the General had it built
They were merely given the following on a command sheet:
South (Warrant Officer)(Sergeant) (Field Marshal) (Sergeant)(Lieutenant)(Brigadier)
East (Private)(Warrant Officer)(Captain) (Lieutenant)(Captain) (Colonel)(Colonel)(Warrant Officer)
See if you can get to Headquarters before they do

The bear got drenched looking for the cache. Once found he returned to the car so that the log could be signed without it getting wet.
We had intended going out to Lonnavale but decided to abandon our caching for the day and come back another time in better weather. Always love a drive into the Huon Valley.
Thanks for the puzzle and for the cache, Old Saint.
My 2nd last cache for the day but getting tired...muddy...been a hectic week.
This puzzle had me head scratching for awhile until realising the significance of some other data....great conception. I did have one minor brain fade after doing all the hard work but got there in the end.
At gz the well hidden cache was soon found...great to be at Army Ranking Headquarters which has sent troops state wide.
Thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle and cache....many thanks...cheers ST.
We solved this puzzle in the car at Brabazon point as we knew the wedding that had just started at the No campRING multi down the road would take a while. We managed to grab a couple of moveables from their hidey hole amongst the 30 parked cars and then headed to SSR's new cache.
This puzzle took some solving (which was good as we needed to fill in some time) but try as we might we could not come up with a list of rankings. We resorted to reading the descriptions of moveables published at the same time and what do you know a list of sorts started to appear. The geochecker finally liked our answer. We added GZ to the list and when we were back in the area the cache was quickly found and the log signed. TFTP
Accurate coordinates and a useful hint soon had us at GZ where we located a well hidden, good sized container. The container and contents were in good condition. After the Captain and Field Marshall had visited their mates at Head Quarters we moved on to look for another cache on our mission list.
Thanks for another well hidden cache Old Saint.
took us a couple of goes to solve and even had to ask the co
