Editor's Notes
- “Whilst the benefits of the alliance to Australia are clear, such as access to US technology and US treaty-based defence assurances, the benefits to the United States are often unknown. Most importantly, Australia genuinely shares the burden of intelligence generation with the United States under the UKUSA agreement. Notably, Australian facilities at Pine Gap and North West Cape assist in global collection of SIGINT and communications relay respectively. These are sovereign Australian facilities, and are jointly operated by the personnel of the two nations (Baker and Paul, 2000; pp. 88-89). Australia also provides niche forces to US coalitions that the US itself either does not possess, or has in short supply, such as sophisticated conventional submarines, Special Forces and mine clearance capabilities. These forces are all highly interoperable with US forces, and can integrate easily into US formations. Finally, Australia lends diplomatic legitimacy to American initiatives regionally and globally.” A
