The mother of an army recruit who died after an incident during a training exercise says the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is "entirely responsible" for his death.
Private Liam Wolf, 18, died two days after the fall, on April 21, 2019.
Pte Wolf likely suffered a cardiac arrest and then sustained a brain injury in the fall, expert witnesses are expected to tell the NSW Coroners Court.
The fall came as the Queensland teenager was nearing the end of the army s 80-day basic training course for new recruits at Blamey Barracks in Kapooka, in the NSW Riverina.
The recruits rose at 4am and marched five kilometres with weighted packs. Then they set out to do an obstacle course designed to test the resilience and teamwork skills they d been building.
