Land Forces 2021

Despite its relatively small population of just over 24 million, Australia has one of the most powerful and respected land, air and naval forces in Southeast Asia and Oceania. In the coming years, Australia’s defense forces are embarking on a period of significant acquisition and modernization with total investments worth more than AUD$175 billion planned until 2022. The ADF alone is planning to spend more than AUD$56 billion on land force equipment, services and new combat capabilities until 2026.
