An Australian soldier has died after reportedly being struck by a tree branch at a Queensland training base.
The soldier was taking part in a routine training exercise at Shoalwater Bay, near Rockhampton, on Thursday morning and was on an armoured personnel carrier.
The soldier received first aid and paramedics were called to the scene.
But the soldier was subsequently pronounced dead.
The Army has extended its sympathies to the soldier's family and friends.
Queensland Police are investigating and are expected to prepare a report for the coroner.
Defence says it won't be releasing any further information about the soldier's personal or service history at the moment.
