Armed Forces in Australia

Royal Australian Air Force

The Royal Australian Air Force is a world-class military force operating some of the most advanced aircraft and defence technology in use anywhere today. We may be the second oldest Air Force in the world, but we sure look young for our age! Since our formation in 1921 we have set a proud record protecting Australia alongside the Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army. This tradition continues today. Each day, our personnel deliver Australian air power, whenever and wherever, it is needed. Built on the proud history and traditions of the Australian Flying Corps and the Royal Australian Air Force, we will fight and win by generating integrated kinetic and non-kinetic air and space effects across the sea, land, air, space and cyber operating domains. Air Force provides immediate and responsive military options across the spectrum of operations as part of a Whole of Government joint or coalition response. We exploit the air power characteristics of persistent and precision effect, flexibility, perspective, reach, penetration, versatility and responsiveness. We are leaders in command and control of air and space operations; intelligence, surveillance and response; and targeting. We are the leaders for strategic, operational, tactical, technical and logistic management of Australia's military aviation capability.

Desert Anzacs

Australia's involvement in the Sinai Palestine Campaign of World War 1 This site describes World War 1 history from Egypt, across the Suez Canal, through the Sinai desert, into the plains and hills of Palestine, beyond the gates of Damascus to Aleppo. The British led Egyptian Expeditionary Force that included the Australian Imperial Force and the Mounted Rifle Brigade of New Zealand advanced over 600 miles in two and a half years to defeat the combined forces of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and its German and Austrian allies. This part of Australian and New Zealand history has been little told. The campaign got little public, press or political support at the time, a major reason you will have heard or read little about it – but it was massive. This history is a vital part of Anzac legend that must be told as we go into the centenary of WW1 and Anzac traditions. The aftermath of this campaign from its victory has largely lead to the state of affairs in today’s Middle East. This story will help you to understand why; and how little can now be done without serious good intent by all players, to restore peace in a land of ingrained hatred for survival. MISSION The aim here is to tell the stories of soldiers, not battles. What was life like for teenagers, many who had upped their ages falsely, to enlist and defend 'the Empire'; and have some fun doing it, so they initially thought. We want to tell this story in an entertaining, educational and enlivened way, so you enjoy the read and their stories – because their stories are gripping. This is not a typical, dull history book at all! COMPANY OVERVIEW Desert Anzacs (with approval of the Minister for Veterans Affairs to use the word 'Anzac') is dedicated to recognising those men and women who fought the valiant fight to finally bring peace to the world, at that time. We are also intent on giving recognition, at last, to the families whose forebears have until now gone largely unnoticed.
