Australia Defence Force

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is the national military organization responsible for defending Australia and its interests. It consists of three main branches: the Australian Army (ground-based troops), the Royal Australian Navy (maritime forces), and the Royal Australian Air Force (air and space capabilities). The ADF conducts a range of activities including national security, peacekeeping, disaster relief, and international operations. It is command under the Department of Defence, working closely with allied nations to uphold Australia's security and sovereignty. The force also plays a vital role in supporting civil authorities during emergencies and contributing to global peace efforts.
