ADF bases and locations abroad

by Richard Tanter last modified 19-Sep-2008 18:18

Locations of Australian Defence Force (ADF) elements outside Australia, including ADF bases, and locations used by the ADF.

Introduction

This document provides a list of bases and facilities used on a more than transitory basis by Australian military forces in operations abroad since the beginning of the invasion of Afghanistan  in 2001. Some are full-fledged bases used primarily or exclusively by the ADF; others are primarily  other forces' bases shared by the ADF; others still are not full-fledged bases; and some are facilities shared with civil authorities. Many were used only for a limited period. Where there is uncertainty about the listing it is marked by an asterisk.  At this point , the planned Australia in East Timor Briefing Book is not yet complete, and entries on East Timor are limited and incomplete.
