1 BRITISH EMPIRE (continued) AUSTRALIA GENERAL Area.... 2,974,581 square miles. Population..... per sq. mile: 5,436, Army. A. HIGH ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROL' I. MILITARY BOARD. The military forces of Australia are administered by a Military Board similar to the Army Council in Great Britain. It has been constituted to impose on it a full measure of responsibility, and consists of: The Minister for Defence (President). Chief of the General Staff.; Adjutant-General. Quartermaster-General. Finance Member. Secretary. 2. AVIATION. To deal with aviation policy the Minister of Defence is assisted by a War Council, which includes officers of the Navy, Army and Air Board and an independent Controller of Civil Aviation. 3. COUNCIL OF DEFENCE. The Council of Defence has been restored to deal with policy, to ensure its continuity, and to co-ordinate the requirements of sea, air and land. It is composed of: The Prime Minister (President). The Treasurer of the Commonwealth. 1 This was correct for Since then, an Act has been passed creating a single Ministry of Defence, to include the Navy as well. Details are not yet to hand.

2 AUSTRALIA 201 The Minister of the Navy. The Minister for Defence. The first and second Members of the Naval Board, and another Senior Naval Officer, to be nominated by the Minister for the Navy. The Inspector-General of the Military Forces. The Chief of the General Staff. A Senior Officer of the Citizen Military Force. 4. COMMONWEALTH SECTION OF THE IMPERIAL GENERAL STAFF. A Commonwealth Section of the Imperial General Staff has been formed at Headquarters, Melbourne. 5. THE STAFF CORPS AND INSTRUCTIONAL CORPS. The Staff Corps and Instructional Corps, into which have been absorbed the old Administrative and Instructional Staff, are a permanent body of officers and N.C.O.s. In addition to providing officers to fill appointments on the Headquarter and District Staffs, it furnishes officers and N.C.O.s for the instruction of Citizen Forces. 6. ORGANISATION. - GENERAL PROGRESS 1 The Divisional Organisation came into operation on May ist, I92I. Under this system, a War Organisation is being applied to peace conditions with a minimum of Permanent Staffs and Forces. The numbers of Units and Formations have been altered to correspond with those of the Australian Imperial Force, and every effort is being made to maintain the great traditions established by these Units in the Great War. Commissioned ranks have been filled from the demobilised A.I.F., and voluntary enlistment from the same source has to a large extent supplied N.C.O.s and the cadres for most units. 7. RADIO-TELEGRAPH BOARD. A Radio-telegraph Board has been established, with representatives from the Army and Navy and Postmaster-General's Department, with a view to securing close co-operation between technical officers and the Departments dealing with wireless, which is necessary to prevent overlapping of effort and expenditure. 1 In May 1922, owing to the necessity for economy, it was decided to effect a reduction in the Army. The existing organisation of the Forces is retained, and the necessary economies will be effected by a decrease in the annual training establishment and in a limitation of the amount of training. The Staff Corps and all permanent units are being also reduced.

3 202 BRITISH EMPIRE B. MILITARY DISTRICT AREA Australia is divided for administration into six Military Districts, which correspond with the six States, viz., Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. C. CONSTITUTION AND ORGANISATION OF MILITARY FORCES i. GENERAL. The Military Forces of Australia are constituted under the Defence Acts I903-i918, and consist of a Permanent Force and the Citizen Force. All male inhabitants who have resided in Australia for six months and are British subjects and are between the ages of I8 and 60 are, in time of war, liable to serve in the Citizen Force. The amendment of igog provided for the introduction of a system of universal training, with regulations for registration, etc. The clauses of this Act were, by proclamation, made operative on January Ist, I9II. All boys on attaining the age of I2 years have to be registered, and they undergo cadet training at school. In March of the year in which they attain the age of 14 years they have to register again, and they are then trained 1 in battalions as senior cadets. At the age of i8 years, senior cadets, except those residing outside a training area or those who are physically unfit, join units of the Citizen Force. On an average about I7,ooo are transferred annually. The Citizen Force is maintained for home defence only, but the Act permits individuals to volunteer for service overseas. In time of war the force becomes subject to the Army Act where not inconsistent with the local enactments. 2. PERMANENT FORCE. (a) The Permanent Force is organised in such a manner as to enable it to carry out administrative and instructional duties, and form the nucleus of the technical services required. Permanent Units (Field and Garrison Artillery and Engineers) retain their own identity, but their organisation and distribution has been adjusted so that their principal function, viz., the instruction of the Citizen Forces, is given its proper degree of prominence. The officers of the Permanent Force have been united in one Corps, which is known as the " Staff Corps ". Warrant officer and N.C.O. instructors have been organised as the " Instructional Corps " 1 Owing to the present state of financial stringency, and the consequent reduction in the Army, senior cadet training will be limited in each year to the two oldest quotas, i.e., to sixteen- and seventeen-year-old lads.

4 AUSTRALIA 203 The period of enlistment in the Permanent Force is five years, with re-engagement for periods of three years. On completion of service, N.C.O.s and men pass into the Reserve in the same way as men of the Citizen Force (see paragraph 4 below). Officers, except graduates of Duntroon Military College, who must serve for ten years or buy their discharge, can resign at any time by giving three months' notice. 3. CITIZEN FORCE. The Citizen Force consists of: 2 Cavalry Divisions. 4 Divisions. 3 Mixed Brigades, which could, if necessary, be united in a Fifth Division. 5 Cavalry Regiments. Certain Garrison Troops. The addition of certain Non-divisional Troops of Artillery, Engineers, etc., will be made when equipment becomes available. 4. RESERVES. Theoretically, each man, on attaining the age of 26, passes into the Reserve, but no record is kept of his movements, and he is not required to report himself at any time. There exists, in fact, therefore, only the Reserve of Officers. The reorganisation of the Reserve Force is under consideration, and the proposal is that it shall consist of: (i) Ex-members of the A.I.F. who cannot join the Active Force, and British subjects who have seen active service otherwise than in the A.I.F. (ii) Ex-members of the Permanent Force. (iii) Ex-members of the Citizen Force. 5. RIFLE CLUBS. There are a certain number of Civilian Rifle Clubs, but their maintenance as a Reserve Force being no longer considered a military necessity, with the exception of certain guards on mobilisation, they, in November I92o0 ceased to be part of the Army organisation, and their administration was transferred to the Defence Secretariat. 6. CADETS. The Cadet organisation has been developed in order that all boys may be given, first, physical training, and, secondly, an introduction to military work.

5 204 BRITISH EMPIRE The reorganisation of the senior cadet battalions has been completed. An increase in the normal establishment of a battalion to 1,9I4 all ranks was necessary, owing to the reductions in the number of battalions in order to conform to the Citizen Force Battalions, with which the Cadet battalions are now definitely affiliated. 7. AVIATION. Owing to the isolated position of Australia and the limited radius of action of existing aircraft, which renders independent action impracticable, the Australian Air Board, in I92o, decided to confine the use of Australian aircraft to auxiliary work with the Army and Navy. They further recommended that the Air Force should be organised in two wings (Military and Naval), which would permit of a distribution closely following that of the Army and Navy respectively. The organisation of the Military Wing is not yet completed. There is a Government Aerodrome at Point Cook, in Victoria, which has accommodation for 60 machines. In addition, there are twelve licensed aerodromes for civil aviation in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, not one of which has accommodation for more than six aeroplanes. D. AUTHORISED ESTABLISHMENT The peace establishment is approximately iio,ooo men. The personnel of the Air Force are all part of the Permanent Force, and the authorised establishment allows for 41 Officers and 239 other ranks. The actual strength on December 3Ist, I921, was 41 Officers and 225 other ranks. E. TRAINING I. PERMANENT FORCES. The Permanent Forces train throughout the 'year similarly to Units of the Regular Army in Great Britain. 2. CITIZEN FORCE. (a) Under the amended Defence Act, members of the Citizen Force between the ages of i8 and 22 years are required annually to train as under: 1 By a Military Board Instruction dated May 24th, 1922, the total annual training establishment will, in consequence of the reductions in the Army, be limited for the present to approximately 3I,000 of all ranks. (From " Notes on the Land Forces of British Dominions", December 3Ist, I922.)

6 AUSTRALIA 205 Artillery and Engineers and Army Service Corps Units allotted to these arms: 25 days (of which not less than 17 shall be in camps of continuous training). Other Arms: i6 days ' (of which not less than 8 shall be in camps of continuous training). Training in the Citizen Forces commences on July Ist in the year in which the persons liable reach the age of I8 years, and continues for four years. A course of musketry similar to that laid down for the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom is also completed annually. From 25 to 26 years of age, one registration and attendance at one muster parade only are required. Recruits will join the Force at i8 years of age, about I8,ooo, including those who for some reason become exempt from training, reaching that age annually. Men will be liable to serve for eight years. (b) The training authorised for the Citizen Forces for the year I920-2I was as follows: 1896, i897 and 1898 quotas: Half-day parade. N.C.O.s may attend eight days' home training. 1899, 1900oo and I901 quotas: Four days' home training (compulsory). i902 quota: Eight days' continuous training and four days' home training (compulsory). Thus only the I902 quota went to camp. During the year two quotas (I902 and I903) only went to camp. The 1899, 1900oo and 1901 quotas had a limited amount of home training only. (c) The general method by which the instruction of the Citizen Forces is carried out is : (i) By the allotment of a small permanent instructional staff to each Training Area, Battalion Area and Brigade Area. (ii) By holding at convenient times and places classes of instruction for officers and N.C.O.s of the various arms. 3. CADETS. Senior Cadet training was completely revived during the year I920-2I, more attention being given to the physical, mental and moral development of the youth than to his military training, of which he only received sufficient to enable him to take his place in the Citizen Forces. The development of organised games and athletics has been taken in hand. Musketry training on a systematic progressive basis is carried out. The training of the Junior Cadets (12 to 14 years) is no longer the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence. 1 A whole day consists of not less than 6 hours' training.

7 206 BRITISH EMPIRE F. SCHOOLS I. ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE. Under the Defence Act of 1910, a Military College was established at Duntroon (Federal Territory) to educate candidates for commissions in all arms of the Commonwealth Military Forces. A certain number of Cadets from New Zealand are also admitted each year 1. The establishment of the College allows for the admission of 30 Australians and 5 New Zealand Cadets annually, but the intake has now been reduced to 15 cadets in all. The normal course lasts 4 years, divided into 8 terms. The allotment of cadetship to the different States is liable to vary, but has usually been approximately : New South Wales, ii ; Victoria, 9; Queensland, 4; South Australia, 3 ; West Australia, 2 ; Tasmania, i. The State Senior Public Examinations take the place of an Entrance Examination. All. Cadets at the College join a " Corps of Staff Cadets ", which is part of the Permanent Military Forces of the Commonwealth. This Corps, which has an establishment of I5o, including Cadets from New Zealand, is organised on the lines of a Battalion of Infantry. Australian graduates are commissioned in the Staff Corps, and are immediately sent abroad to England or India for further training with a regular regiment. No fees are charged for equipment, instruction or maintenance of Cadets at the College. 2. ARTILLERY SCHOOLS OF INSTRUCTION. The School of Gunnery, which was reopened on January 5th, I92o, for the first time since the War, is now known as the Artillery Schools of Instruction, and is situated at South Head, Sydney. It is divided into three main branches, viz.: (a) Technical Artillery School - a modified form of the Ordnance College, Woolwich. (b) School of Artillery for practical instruction of all artillery of the Field Army, including anti-aircraft artillery. (c) Coast Artillery - to carry out instruction in Coast Artillery and Coast Defence work generally, including electric lighting. 3. SCHOOL OF MUSKETRY. The School of Musketry, located at Randwick, New South Wales, is to be developed into a Small Arms School, covering instruction in rifle, bayonet, revolver, bombing, light and heavy machine-guns and Stokes mortars. Five Musketry Courses were held during the year , and, in addition to these courses, courses for Senior Cadet Officers have been concluded, a new departure which has been a success, I20 officers having done a special course to qualify them in musketry as Platoon Officers. 1 New Zealand has temporarily ceased to send cadets.

8 AUSTRALIA CENTRAL TRAINING DEPOT. The Central Training Depot was established in August I921. Its functions are: (a) The training of applicants for appointment to the Australian Instructional Corps and refresher courses for members of this Corps. (b) The recruit training for all arms of the Permanent Forces. (c) Such other courses as may be considered necessary. G. MATERIAL, ARSENALS, ETC. (i) Policy. The development of the policy which aims ultimately at making Australia self-supporting in the production of munitions has been temporarily affected by the necessity for economy. By the development of the Munitions Supply Branch considerable progress had been made. (2) A Commonwealth Small Arms Factory is established at Lithgow, New South Wales. Raw materials are at present imported from England. (3) A Cordite Factory was opened at Maribyrnong, Victoria, during (4) The Colonial Ammunition Company, Melbourne, has been taken over by the Government. Most of the raw materials for the manufacture of the ammunition are procured from England. II. Navy.

(2) For cruisers and light cruisers, a reduction of i/ir per annum from date of completion. (3) For torpedo craft and submarines, a reduction of I/12 per annum from date of completion.

9 208 BRITISH EMPIRE III. Budget Expenditure on National Defence. A. NOTES ON BUDGET PROCEDURE. (i) The financial year covers the period from July ist to June 3oth. The estimates are voted in the autumn several months after the beginning of the financial year, the intervening period being provided for by permanent and temporary authorisations. The budget submitted to Parliament contains information regarding the results of the financial year just expired. Supplementary estimates contain, as a rule, only insignificant amounts. (2) The Government receipts and out-goings are shown in three distinct funds: (i) the Consolidated Revenue Fund, which is credited with all cash receipts of real revenue and debited with all expenditure to be paid out of such revenue; (ii) the Loan Fund, which is credited with proceeds of loans and debited with expenditure to be met out of them; (iii) the Trust Funds, which consist of funds administered by the State outside the annual budget. Defence expenditure proper is charged to the Consolidated Revenue Fund and, as regards a part of the outlay for new works and buildings, to the Loan Fund. Charges remaining from the War (war expenses, repatriation, land settlement) are to a great extent accounted for in the Trust Fund Accounts. In addition to these accounts, which are voted by Parliament, a table showing the cost of each department is attached to the budget and to the closed accounts. This table, which is more suitable for statistical purposes, has been used in the following review. It should, however, be noted that both the capital outlay and the interest on the liability incurred for defraying the outlay are included in the cost of the department concerned. Receipts collected by the Departments are shown on the revenue side of the budget, except in a few insignificant cases when they are set off against the corresponding expenditure. The Military and Naval receipts do not usually amount to much. (3) Under the terms of the Constitution Act, i9oo, the Commonwealth took over the control of all defence matters in March Igoi ; and its expenditure on armaments, etc., may now be broadly divided into : (a) Ordinary expenditure for the defence of Australia; and (b) Expenditure connected with the Great War. Group (b) really represents settlements of claims and does not constitute a development of the defence forces of the Commonwealth.

In order effectively to solve the problem of the returned soldier, a Department of Repatriation was organised in The four main principles upon which it is based are: (i) to secure the re-establishment of returned soldiers in the industrial life of the community to the fullest extent that circumstances permit ; (2) to sustain these soldiers until an opportunity for such re-establishment is assured; (3) to provide for the care and education of the dependents of soldiers who died on active service, as well as the dependents of soldiers who, on account of injuries sustained, are unable to provide for those formerly dependent on them;
