	Australian Defence Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australia's Department of Defence administers the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) consisting of the ADF and the civilian personnel supporting the ADF.
		The ADF is constituted under the Executive Government sections of the Australian Constitution, Section 68, that says, "The command in chief of the naval and military forces of the Commonwealth is vested in the Governor-General as the Queen's representative." (The Queen referred to in this Act of 9th July 1900 was Victoria.
		In practice, the control of the ADF is, politically, vested in the Minister for Defence and several subordinate ministers.

		However, as recently reported surveys of six defence bases have confirmed, and as the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission’s recent ruling on damages to a former RAAF member demonstrates, women in the ADF are still subject to sexual harassment and sexual assault.
		In 1996 Major Kathryn Quinn of the Australian Army Psychology Corps published a report, Sexual harassment in the Australian Defence Force, a comparative assessment of results from the 1987 and 1995 ADF career and family studies.
		The ADF and the Defence Department policy on discrimination states that the Defence Organisation has a zero tolerance attitude to sexual harassment.

	The Australian Defense Force
		The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is undergoing a transition from an armed force prepared purely for warfighting functions to a force capable of conducting a wide range of noncombatant functions.
		Australian defense thinking is steeped in the realist philosophy, and the public position of the Australian defense bureaucracy is that they have neither the charter nor the resources to plan for missions not directly associated with the defense of Australia against military attack.
		The ADF leadership may also be reluctant to become further involved in the sphere of criminality and law enforcement because of the likelihood of corruption infiltrating the defense force as it has the police forces.

		That was a significant acknowledgement on behalf of the people of Indonesia to the people of Australia—and in particular to the defence forces and the families and friends of the deceased—that their service has a very special place in the hearts of the Indonesian people.
		It is a shared grief, particularly among the wide family of defence force personnel and those who have served their country over the years.
		That Australian forces are held in such high regard and respect by the world community is testament to the qualities instilled in our military personnel.

		The ANR consists of officers appointed to, and sailors enlisted in, that force, and officers and sailors transferred to that force from the Permanent Naval Force (PNF).
		Defence advised that the outcome sought is a capability based Army and rationalisation of the current force structure cannot be undertaken until the outcomes from the Reserve Roles and Tasks study are known.

		But Defence's long-awaited NCW Roadmap, published by capability development chief Lieut-General David Hurley in October, sets out what network centric warfare actually means to Australia, and how the ADF aims to implement it by 2020.
		THE tragic death of Australian airman Flight Lieutenant Paul Pardoel early this year when his RAF Hercules transport aircraft was shot down during a routine transport mission in Iraq was a sobering reminder that the so-called "frontline" is everywhere these days.
		THE new headquarters for the Australian Defence Force's joint operations command is a great idea for quick decision-making and effective command of combined operations, but even the best ideas can suffer in execution and the federal Government is intent on putting HQJOC in the wrong place.

	Containerising the (Australian) Defence Force - Defence Talk Forum
		Recent events have highlighted to the ADF the need and benefits of containerization in the rapid mobilisation and deployment of its troops.
		The customisation of containers for specific applications have assisted the ADF in many areas and when one unit identifies a need for a particular design of container, generally that need will apply to other divisions around the country.
		Now an approved and recognised "Defence Supplier", Royal Wolf continues to dedicate energy and resources to the container needs of the ADF whether it be for accommodation, ablution, storage or refrigeration.

		Initially I was puzzled by her comments, and it was somewhat sobering to realise that these defence force personnel were young enough to be my children.
		We should remember that they are not the first Australian service personnel to give their lives in the Indonesian archipelago, an area vital to Australia's interests and security both in peace and in war.
		In World War II many young Australians, just like the victims of the Sea King crash, laid down their lives in the seas, the skies, and the jungles of the various colonial territories now known as Indonesia.

		The Defence Minister, Senator Hill, has just taken a proposal to Cabinet to restructure the army into little independent battle groups which can be almost put together like Lego blocks: from the little groups you can build quite big groups.
