US military expected to export 'high-risk' explosives to Australian ports amid arms expansion

The Australian Department of Defence's Brigadier Mick Say told the recent Northern Australia Defence Summit that the pre-positioning of US military equipment in Australia had been "enabled" by the 2014 US Force Posture Agreement.

He flagged a potential expansion in US Force Posture efforts after high-level ministerial talks between Canberra and Washington later this year.

"That will lead to a number of other announcements, once agreed to by governments, in regards to the next steps of the Force Posture activities within Australia," he said.
