      I had a friend in the Royal Australian Navy. He told stories of target practice competitions against the US Navy…. Australia always won by being more accurate, with less shits. Why? Because we couldn’t afford to waste ammunition, so we tended to be more careful when aiming at the targets.

      Yrs later he would bring his family and my mum over and the rest is history. During manoeuvres in the 90’s with the kiwis and americans the aussies would win most of them because the americans relied heavily on tech and we went old school. Fun fact 😂

    When the Boer War began all the 7 Australian States were self governing Dominions. Each state sent a military contingent that fought together, plus New Zealand, as the ANZACS.

Then, it change to Australia And New Zealand army corps (ANZAC) that was formed in 1915 till 1918 it changed again to Australian imperial force (AIF) till 1980 when it officially changed to The Australian Army.

      ​@@Nathan-yy2xsboth of you are close. Prior to Federation, they were Colony based "Colonial Forces". WWI started after Federation and the Australian contigent was the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). The British High Command, uncertain how effective and how these colonials could be employed, lumped the Aussies and Kiwis together labelling the Formation the Australian New Zealand Army Corps or ANZAC. This was an Imperial military formation, not the name of the nation's military. The ANZAC was Army. The AIF was all inclusive, i.e..Army and Navy.

    Australia military is actually to be larger over the next 2 decades or so with the Australian government announcement of increasing troops numbers and other personnel. The Royal Australian navy fleet size is also to triple with an order of more combating warship and nuclear powered submarines. Many of the Australian army eqwipment is also getting an overhaul. With the retirement of NH90 helicopter and instead getting upgraded blackhawk helicopters. Including 27 Apache attack helicopters to add to the fleet. HIMARS And MLRS rocket. Including K9 thunder 155mm self propelled howitzer artillery tanks. New drones some with AI assistance such as the stealh MQ 28 ghost bat unmanned fighter aircraft. Also known as the loyal wingman. New infantry fighting vehicles also will enter service in 2027 such as the K21 readback IFV that also has SPIKE LR2 missiles to replace the M1113 IFV.
    The Royal Australian air force oporate a number of combat aircraft such as FA-18F super hornets, FA18 Growlers, electronic attack aircraft including F35A stealth fighters.
    New 6th generation Air superiority aircraft is been looked at to purchase sometime in 2030s.
    Australia is in a military technology pack with UK and USA called AUKUS. Including Australia is part of the 5 eyes Nation with security sharing. With a joint military base in Australia between the USA and Australia called pine gap. Give Australia full access to American satellites for security purposes.
    Types of missiles eqwiped on Australian warships ESSM, SM2, SM6, tomahawk cruise missile, Navel strike missiles. Known as NSM, including torpedoes.
    Land air defence NSAMS including hypersonic missiles are been developed and other mobile anti ship weaponry
    The Australian army oporate a number of close in air defence systems and small arms with the Enhanced F88 Austeyr as the primary standard rifle for the Army produced locally in Australia. And a number of heavy machine guns.

    They can't be seen coming on radar, that is just one example. Every town in Australia has the old big guns from the different wars, ready to go, they can be bought back into service at a moments notice. Most are sitting in parks in every town, all over the country as memorials. If needed they are can be bought back to life very fast.

      The Malayan Emergency, also known as the Anti-British National Liberation War, (1948-1960) was a guerrilla war fought in Malaya between communist pro-independence fighters of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA) and the military forces of the Federation of Malaya and Commonwealth (British Empire). The communists fought to win independence for Malaya from the British Empire and to establish a communist state, while the Malayan Federation and Commonwealth forces fought to combat communism and protect British economic and colonial interests. The term "Emergency" was used by the British to characterise the conflict in order to avoid referring to it as a war, because London-based insurers would not pay out in instances of civil wars.
      The Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation or Borneo confrontation (known as Konfrontasi in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) was an armed conflict from 1963 to 1966 that stemmed from Indonesia's opposition to the creation of the state of Malaysia from the Federation of Malaya. After Indonesian president Sukarno was deposed in 1966, the dispute ended peacefully.

      Chinook Helicopter uses counter rotating blades to negate the induced spin caused by rotor torque. Usually a vertical tail rotor is used. The reason for the modification was to add more lift through the downforce of horizontal counter rotating blades so it could carry more troops and lift heavier cargos such as mountain artillery and jeeps.
      It appears to be the only American design to use it and later helicopters used for large troop and cargo carrying went back to the usual configuration but with 2 turbocharged turbines.

      Australia was founded as a penal colony after the US rebelled against Great Britain and they no longer had a place they could readily dispose of debtors or others they didn't want in the country but couldn't necessarily kill. It could be understood that the Royal Australian Navy were the first Australians to step foot on Australia to create a settlement after the indigenous. The Admiral would become Australia's first governor. Many of the early Australians were Irish, Welsh, and Scottish, but it would be easy to believe they were all poor. See the BBC miniseries, Banished.

    The Australian military is nothing compared with the likes of other countries. They can handle certain wars but most of the time they join other forces / countries.
