How Darwin received its US troops November 9, 2012 When the “enduring presence” of US marines in Darwin was announced locals were too giddy by Obama’s presence to question it. Justin Tutty from BaseWatch examines what happened when they arrived. The forces say we can expect a similar well-managed tour next year, while the following rotation will have larger numbers, bring their own hardware, and concentrate on objectives beyond community relations. The ADF has produced a report weighing up likely impacts of next year’s visit of 250 marines. This week, the local paper reported that the US will be looking to raise numbers even beyond that, and it is now understood that discussions last year considered a presence of as many as 7500. However, increasing the emerging presence from an initial 200 to 2500 — or more — won’t be so easily glossed over. Whether the US troop numbers stop at the announced 2500, or grow to 7500, the permanent presence is going to have an impact on our town. http://www.crikey.com.au/2012/11/09/all-the-way-with-the-usa-how-darwin-received-its-us-troops/ S-18 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 China Rules for US troops in NT kept secret November 11, 2012 A SECRET document that the government said did not exist and which outlines the rights, role and responsibilities of US forces in Australia is being kept from the public, due to concerns it would affect the relationship with America. The document, classified ''Secret'' and signed in 2010 by the then US defence secretary, Robert Gates, and Australia's Defence Minister, Stephen Smith, is the only document created since 1963 that provides some official guidance for US troops in Australia. That includes the permanent rotational placement of what will be, by 2016, 2500 US marines in the Northern Territory. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/political-news/rules-for-us-troops-in-nt-kept-secret-20121110-29571.html S-19 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 China Military Expansion Source: LA Times April 26, 2013 S-20 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 China S-21 USS Dilemma © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 China S-22 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 China Not Only Australia and the Philippines S-23 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013 S-24 © 2013 Robert G Parker July 10, 2013
