US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin promised the US would ensure the Australian Defence Force is equipped for the emerging strategic threats.
Australia and the United States will integrate Japan into their joint military activities in Australia, a significant deepening of the relationship as the three nations work increasingly closely together to push back on China.
“We will also expand our logistics and sustainment co-operation, and that will deepen our interoperability and create more agile and resilient capabilities while also continuing to find ways to further integrate our defence industrial bases in the years ahead.” We “will not allow Australia to have a capability gap going forward”, Austin said, referring to the period between the end of the Collins Class submarine life cycle and the arrival of nuclear-powered submarines.“We recognise where Australia is and where its capability begins to diminish and of course we will address that in the pathway we create,” he said.
“We’re also looking at increased force posture cooperation in enhancing the capacity of facilities in Australia. “There is a huge sense of alignment that we feel between the Biden administration and the Albanese government in the trajectory of the alliance,” he said.
