@@TheMarine Not Really. They are sponsored and supported by the ADF but are not directly related to the main services but more of a separate branch which utilises the resources and support that has been provided by the ADF while providing the experiences of military life.
I used to work for a contractor servicing optics and optoelectronics for all branches of the ADF. The ADF are a great bunch of blokes and ladies, I always found them easy to work with.
Ace of Games actually we are. That’s why it’s called The Australian Defence Force. Then we span to 3 individual military specialties that work together to protect and defend Australia’s interests and assets
@书中自有黄金屋 I'm not sure I quite understand what you're saying. The term defending can be interpreted different ways. It doesn't necessarily mean the forces have to go to war, but just partake in an act the would benefit the people of the Australian nation or its allies. For example, Operation Bushfire Relief, was a joint operation undertaken by members of the Army and Navy, aiding people in coastal parts of New South Wales that had been trapped in their towns by large bushfires. Several Navy vessels sent supplies and acted as a ferry, picking up stranded residents from the beach and taking them away from the fires. Meanwhile, hundreds of Army personnel aided in extinguishing fires, cleaning up road ways and aiding injured residents. To me, that's what it means to be apart of the ADF, to help those in need no matter the situation.
@@bcooper7618 I honestly would say 80% of adf members have that thought in recent years, its a joke now.. so many issues and just plain stupidly built from from bottom to top. not only are they trying to just appeal to modern movements and trying to "diversify" the system, its also just a horrible power trip of ranks and needs a massive overhaul. not only that I believe that our adf will be ran over within weeks by any of the large neighbouring countries so a defence force it really wouldnt be doing its job anyway
@@a_turn_of_events8390 Still have alot of friends that are in so still have a decent finger on the pulse. I cant speak about the RAN specifically but for blokes in grunts and SF units things seem to still be relatively fine. I agree the whole PC shift is total crap and isnt doing the ADF any favors. The threat for us being invaded isnt any more real now than it was 20 years ago so i think thats a little overplayed. The point more is about not discouraging young players from joining the ADF because you had a bad personal experience. Good careers and experiences are still on offer and alot of those experiences your never going to get on civi street. Worst case scenario is your do your 4 and no harm no foul.
I only speak for myself and those around me, but I was inf and had some shitty officers above me, I think its time to change how our rank system works. but to change how to top brass see's us you need the top brass themselves to change things and no one sitting on a throne wants to move over to a stool. I wouldnt say I enjoyed my time in, and I am a little fucked up physically now but I wanted it and would do it again. the only real advice Id give to kids is wait, or have a serious back up plan not related to the job; i.e police (like me) youll learn real quick that if you cant be a soldier anymore you probably cant be a cop XD Edit: just to add to saying that I didnt enjoy my time in, I definitely made some hilarious memories but those mostly came from off base with friends.
The ADF defends Australia **as well as** its national interests. Currently, by fielding operations in the middle east and supporting coalition forces, they are achieving the defence of national interests. Hope that clears it up for you :)
Great video. Below are only a small fraction of defence kit to be purchased. Many have been left out for space sakes. Projects in the pipeline that will be signed off on/selected soon. 1. self tracked artillery 2. Boxer that's been selected [Phase 3 we still do not know as testing is currently taking place for the tracked option with Lynx arguably better but immature/the Koreans REALLY want this contract as they do the 'Aussie Thunder self tracked artillery they missed out on a decade ago when Gillard butchered DoD Outlays to 1938 levels] 3. Reaper [the latest version] 4. G550 SingInt for RAAF 5. M1ADSIA Abrams will be either replaced unit for unit or upgraded to M12SEP [not sure if they'll go with the new US army 3 plus as it's immature, Australia has a poor record of buying immature designs [NH90/AHR] for example so SEP will likely be the option and plugged in to US army's growth platform 6. Hunter Class which although tasked as primarily ASW this will be a big ship, a REAL destroyer at max 9000 tonnes with a lot of room for growth SM3/6 7. Hobarts are still waiting on funds for SM3/6 and insanely TLaM These are only major projects. The submarine debacle will have to be fixed soon as the current contractual [I say that in jest] as DoD/Russell are pathetic at contracts, this need is now beyond urgent with the PLANs aggressive moving into the pacific. Their Type 55's are seriously impressive and their sub fleet is expanding. What Australia has is geography. This week a billion dollar upgrade of one of the key norther air bases will see the runways stretched to enable the B52s to land and an increase in USMC rotations numbers wise. The real issue for Australia is protection of critical sea lanes. Hence the submarine debacle. At some point realpolitik will dictate the pissweak political class will have to look at the Virginias. Australia does not need to have an indigenous nuclear industry, even if they have one it is small. All refits and work can be done in the US. Time will tell. The NH90 is replacing SOCOMD/A's Blackhawks Tag East/West and SASR are furious they're losing their Blackhawks. The number of dud kit calls are too many to mention. That EADS are even allowed to bid for the AHR replacement shows how pathetic Russell is. The taxpayer money wasted on AHR's is appalling. Yes they're a good helo but their flying hours a decade out are pathetic. MOTS/FMS as much kit as possible. De risking must be, along with giving the men and women who serve the best kit possible.
zac cundy nobody calls it Oceana. That's like to do with continents, plates and areas all mixed in. I can't recall it's actual thing but Asia is in there somewhere.
The area/continent names are all confusing. Zac cundy u know what I meant. Either way, Australia proudly leads peacekeeping in Oceania/Asia/the Pacific
Thanks for the beaut overview of Oz military. Yes, it is a small when compared to many nations but pushes well above its' weight! It would be great to have included NorForce in a vid, as well as our indigenous soldiers, as this force helps protect the top of Australia from Queensland to the mid coast of Western Australia; such a huge area of responsibility!.
@@Alex-gf4iu To large to invade as well mate, think about the logistics of trying to supply troops with food and ammo, supply lines would be stretched thin
@@Alex-gf4iu Quick 2 sentence explanation of why Australia's military is perfect to defend us from invasion: 1. The logistics of invading a country so geographically isolated and surrounded by water is so immense that it's nearly impossible to invade us 2. We are geographically massive and well spread out, as far as our populace goes. They've done studies as to weather we could be invaded and how it would happen. The only way to invade Australia is from the northern coastline of Western Australian, roughly from Exmouth to Broome, excluding the Porth Headland region, as this is the most exposed and least populated section of coastline in Australia. This essentially drops you in the desert. The other option is to literally parachute into the desert. Interestingly enough, Bear Grylls did it years ago for his bush survival series; put shortly, it's not easy to survive in the central Australian deserts - much less launch an invasion from such a location. 3. The East Coast is littered with population centres and bases. There's a very strong, though behind the curtain military presence in Peth with one of our nations best special forces units, the SASR and navy clearance diver units based just out of Port Fremantle, essentially, which is the sole portal for all our shipping and commerce and this military force is strong enough to protect the port, the entire city (believe it or not) and our coastal waters and shipping lanes. We literally have 24/7 patrols out in the northern corridor of Western Australia and in the Northern Territory for military defence, though these are really just 'security' patrols, not 'defence' patrols - the landscape provides 99% of our defence. 4. If you just generally want the cheat codes to make a country invasion proof the list is basically to have a very large landmass which is sparsely populated and spread out, have an extreme or inhospitable climate (such as very high heat and vast deserts) and have a geographically isolated and distant landmass, such as something the size of the continental US out in the middle of the ocean roughly equidistant and far from all military forces that could potentially launch an invasion. Australia essentially ticks all these boxes.
The Australians have always been excellent soldiers, sailors and airmen, I'm so glad they are on the British side, our great allies, I salute all of you, hats off to New Zealand and Canadian forces too.

@@bcooper7618 Yes, it was pretty much a fight between a minnow and several whales and the minnow won. Patriotic sentiment aside Australia has no grounds to claim that it's anything other than an insignificant military power. As far as being the bravest, how do you measure that? The Germans had a kill ratio that eclipses any army so even if their force had been scaled down to Australia's they would have wiped Australia. Same applies to many other countries. Canada too did some astonishing things in WW2 but we are too buy beating our chests to acknowledge that. Australia can't even sort it's submarine fleet out. That's ok as long as we continue to target 3rd world countries but God help us should we encounter a genuine military power.

@@singtackout8035 Because Army cadets is only Army by name and is just a youth organisation no different to Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. The title of the video is AUSTRALIAN DEFENSE FORCES. The Army cadets although have ties to the Army are not members of the ADF no more or no less than any other youth organization in Australia.
Haven`t been in defence yet, I`m aiming for Air Force. Although I`ve heard from many people to not go for Army unless you`re into it, you won't get the treatment, the pay or anything else. Navy is the better option from my experience. Just a heads up.
@@bigsole1779 You should take any role in the defence force unless your heart is in it. They isnt specific to any of the services specifically. Each service has its advantages and disadvantages. In regards to pay, its also not service specific. Certain roles in the Army pay higher than the navy and airforce and vice versa.
They also need to be trained on how to conduct themselves in high density zones. Do you have any footage of them getting trained in partner jurisdictions like Mumbai?
NCR Trooper Just think about your talents and interests. Are you interested in doing things on the water respectively underwater or do you want to march on land through forests, cities, deserts and jungles? It’s good that you chose two different types of the armed forces. It’s easier to see a difference.
So many reasons why that happened. Ultimately that came down to mispurposing the SASR. They have always been covert long range reconnaissance specialists and hostage rescue counter terrorists. Kill/ Capture raids at the tempo of Afghanistan have never been part of the SASR mission, and hence I believe that due to the sudden re-roling of the SASR as the Afghanistan invasion transitioned in to a conflict of a different nature to more traditional counter insurgencies, the procedures in place that the SASR patrols operated on were not adequate to prevent a break down of dscipline from mental fatigue and loss of morale through over-deployment. The mental health of the operators was not adequately monitored and post mission debriefs were not always adequately thorough. It's my belief now that all operators should be issued body cams as a record of each mission, and if it doesn't already exist, a unit should be attached to the SASR who's job is to view all footage that the soldiers would routinely hand in as part of the debrief. This footage would also form part of each operators performance review to ensure that they are following procedure and acting ethically. If the operator is found to be showing signs of a lack of discipline in the field, they should be psychologically assessed and given retraining if appropriate and put on leave to allow them to rebalance. If they are deemed unfit to return to work they can be re-assigned to another role within the Regiment until they recover their mental health. That's my thoughts.
Don't waste your life in the military. If you think killing innocent people is good for our country, think again! Just be prepared for when the US invades Australia.
@Wayne Haile no Australian army cadets are usually minors under 18. Kids doing scouts basically. Actual officer cadets are men who have signed up and begun there training into being an officer in the Australian army.
I'm sure you're more than aware that the cadets aren't actual ADF by now haha, but to put into perspective i think the equivalent would be the young marines.
@Wayne Haile Who do you think supplies the Swedes, Germans, Brits, Spaniards, Italians, French, Austrians, and Israelis? 25%? You're delusional lmao. Australia is a backwater shithole founded by prisoners and their military capabilities without using designs from other countries is non-existent.

Has he made a video on Canadian armed forces ?
Yes, I made one. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/pPSv79XFHOU/видео.html
You can also check out my channel to find what you are looking for.
I noticed majority of the army wears the "special forces" type mich helmet. Is that type their standard issue?
yup, in operational theatres thats the standard kit
You have no idea how jealous this makes us kiwis😂 god i wish we a gov with some balls to actually do military spending at somepoint
Logan Taylor good on you Logan, we were hamstrung by the PC brigade until Scomo came to power, kiwis have an excellent reputation as soldiers, highly professional.
Yah New Zealand government is so pc maybe get a better prime minister next year she hates Australia
We wouold be over run within 72 hours of an invasion our armed forces lack the ability to fight without the USA alongside us
you guys have the sas
@@julianraiders1112 oh your so short sighted.
Can you do New Zealand again please its been almost 3 years
@Wayne Haile we may be small but we are professional and good at what we do. But yes we have still have a defence force😅 and a good one
@B G You guys don't even have a single fighter jet, which is pretty abysmal. We will always stand by you guys no matter what but you can't just rely on Australia to provide your fast-air cover

@@MaskMasterEsquire Well technically Vietnam was never declared as a war. But yes agree.
@@bcooper7618 Yes, it was pretty much a fight between a minnow and several whales and the minnow won. Patriotic sentiment aside Australia has no grounds to claim that it's anything other than an insignificant military power. As far as being the bravest, how do you measure that? The Germans had a kill ratio that eclipses any army so even if their force had been scaled down to Australia's they would have wiped Australia. Same applies to many other countries. Canada too did some astonishing things in WW2 but we are too buy beating our chests to acknowledge that. Australia can't even sort it's submarine fleet out. That's ok as long as we continue to target 3rd world countries but God help us should we encounter a genuine military power.
Go go go Australian Defence Forces :)

Why the hell are you showing Australian army cadets in this video
@Wayne Haile Because it implies Army Cadets is a member of the ADF which it isnt?
Agreed why not
@@singtackout8035 should we include the boy and girl scouts as well?
@@bcooper7618 Why refer to them as ARMY cadets then?
@@singtackout8035 Because Army cadets is only Army by name and is just a youth organisation no different to Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. The title of the video is AUSTRALIAN DEFENSE FORCES. The Army cadets although have ties to the Army are not members of the ADF no more or no less than any other youth organization in Australia.
Is that the Aug from Steyr ?
Still contemplating whether I should join the Amry or navy and which career/job I should do..
Haven`t been in defence yet, I`m aiming for Air Force. Although I`ve heard from many people to not go for Army unless you`re into it, you won't get the treatment, the pay or anything else. Navy is the better option from my experience. Just a heads up.
@@bigsole1779 You should take any role in the defence force unless your heart is in it. They isnt specific to any of the services specifically. Each service has its advantages and disadvantages. In regards to pay, its also not service specific. Certain roles in the Army pay higher than the navy and airforce and vice versa.
@@bcooper7618 Very true. I was just providing my experience.
Navy would be boring if that suits you
respect from an aussie! 🇦🇺🇦🇺
They also need to be trained on how to conduct themselves in high density zones. Do you have any footage of them getting trained in partner jurisdictions like Mumbai?
Sidhesh Patil are you kidding?
Regards John from Germany
I honestly don’t know which to join up with, either army or navy?
NCR Trooper Just think about your talents and interests. Are you interested in doing things on the water respectively underwater or do you want to march on land through forests, cities, deserts and jungles? It’s good that you chose two different types of the armed forces. It’s easier to see a difference.
Can you swim?
Holy shit there's footage of tigers flying...
Lol. But it looked a bit shaky taking off from the LHD I thought.🐅🐅🐅

Dayam. Just wish there were less people like “soldier C” in the military. They are ruining our reputation as soldiers and as people. 🇦🇺
Soldier C? Who’s that?
@@Cooldude-ko7ps I'm assuming a soldier that had something to do with the SAS war-crimes stuff.
So many reasons why that happened. Ultimately that came down to mispurposing the SASR. They have always been covert long range reconnaissance specialists and hostage rescue counter terrorists. Kill/ Capture raids at the tempo of Afghanistan have never been part of the SASR mission, and hence I believe that due to the sudden re-roling of the SASR as the Afghanistan invasion transitioned in to a conflict of a different nature to more traditional counter insurgencies, the procedures in place that the SASR patrols operated on were not adequate to prevent a break down of dscipline from mental fatigue and loss of morale through over-deployment. The mental health of the operators was not adequately monitored and post mission debriefs were not always adequately thorough.
It's my belief now that all operators should be issued body cams as a record of each mission, and if it doesn't already exist, a unit should be attached to the SASR who's job is to view all footage that the soldiers would routinely hand in as part of the debrief. This footage would also form part of each operators performance review to ensure that they are following procedure and acting ethically. If the operator is found to be showing signs of a lack of discipline in the field, they should be psychologically assessed and given retraining if appropriate and put on leave to allow them to rebalance. If they are deemed unfit to return to work they can be re-assigned to another role within the Regiment until they recover their mental health. That's my thoughts.
I'm joining in 5 years when I grow up :) I'm still 11 though, and I can join when im probobly 16?
Don't waste your life in the military. If you think killing innocent people is good for our country, think again! Just be prepared for when the US invades Australia.

No boxer AFVs?
Andrew Small I know. Unfortunately, nobody had new footage of the boxer.
Still coming! Made in Australia but unsure of delivery dates.
Lmao the Australian army cadets arnt in the ADF at all. Why feature them?
@Wayne Haile no Australian army cadets are usually minors under 18. Kids doing scouts basically. Actual officer cadets are men who have signed up and begun there training into being an officer in the Australian army.
The dangerous part of a australian sniper is that a french baguette guy can backstabb you
As an Australian I am proud of having these armed forces and I am in process of being part of the team. GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA!

Bruh did you see the cadets they showed in the video?
there's part of a chaplain recruiting video and some cadets but its alright
I'm sure you're more than aware that the cadets aren't actual ADF by now haha, but to put into perspective i think the equivalent would be the young marines.
Yep, those emus won't stand a chance this time
When cadets make reserves look like shit lol
