381ECSS, being an expeditionary combat support squadron of the RAAF, is a fully deployable unit that provides operational support to a forward operating base. Although its usual role is to supplement base services at Williamtown, it has the capability to deploy to a bare base and provide all the services to make it a fully operational base.

Some of the services 381ECSS provides are:

  • Fire
  • Catering
  • Security
  • Administration
  • Logistics
  • Ground defence
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Airfield engineering
  • Physical training
  • Communications
  • Information systems
  • Explosive ordnance operations

381ECSS maintains a close relationship with CSU-WLM (Combat Support Unit - Williams), which will continue to run Williamtown should 381ECSS be deployed.
