	Australian Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian soldiers have been involved in a number of minor and major conflicts throughout its history, but only in World War II did Australian territory come under direct attack.
		Recent remarks of low morale in the Army, a high desire to leave the armed forces for civilian careers amongst serving soldiers, low unemployment figures for school-leavers and university graduates, as well as general opposition for Australian soldiers serving in Iraq have resulting in the Army falling short of its recruiting expectations.
		The ranks of the Australian Army are based on the ranks of the British Army, and carry mostly the same actual insignia.

	Fourays - The Australian Army Aviation Association Inc
		When Australian Army troops found themselves in difficulty requiring helicopter support, the RAAF helicopter squadron commander was placed in the invidious position of trying to meet the legitimate demands of local Army commanders without compromising his orders from the Air Staff.
		Army officers often cite instances where, at the end of a day’s training in the field, RAAF pilots would fly to a motel for the night rather than stay in an Army tent.
		Australian experience with the command and control of battlefield helicopters has not been a happy one, marked by bitter inter-service disputes that detracted from the ability of helicopters to achieve their full level of operational capability.

	Logistics Down Under
		The main difference in the makeup and mission of brigade-level support is that the U.S. Army maintains transportation assets at the main support battalion, while the Australian Army's transport capabilities reside in the CSSB.
		Lastly, since the Australians focus mainly on defending their island-nation from attack, they are not as engaged as the U.S. Army in force projection.
		Just as the Australian Army and the U.S. Army are similar in their support location criteria, they also have common guidelines for the layout of their brigade-level support areas.
