組織

civilian

Australian Army command is in Article 68 of the ConstitutionKing of AustraliaIs the surrogate ruler ofGovernorAlthough it is stipulated in, two ways of constitutional interpretation have been discussed. One is that the governor-general has his own command as the commander-in-chief, and the other is that the constitutional command shows substantive command like the current Queen of England. It's not a thing.

Eventually, the Defense Act was amended in 1975 to clearly state that the Chief of the Joint Chief of Staff has command.However, in order to maintain civilian control in civil-military relations, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, in collaboration with the Chief of the Joint Chief of Staff, took control of the military administration of the military, and the Minister of Defense was positioned to centrally manage both the military decree and military administration of the Defense Force. ..Therefore, it is the current wisdom that the Chief of the Joint Chief of Staff is in charge of operational units according to the instructions of the Minister of Defense.

The Australian Defense Force under the control of the Minister of Defense, together with the Australian Ministry of Defense, constitutes the Australian Defense Organization (ADO).The Defense Minister has an aide, but no think tank or aide.The Under Secretary of Defense and the Chief of the Defense Staff are important in the policy process of defense policy, and the Under Secretary of Defense is responsible to the Minister of Defense for strategy and military administration.The Chief of the Joint Chief of Staff, on the other hand, has clear command over Australian troops, but not the Minister of Defense.

In the actual operation of defense policy, for example, a wartime cabinet was established in World War II, and consisted of the prime minister, the defense minister, civil servants including the undersecretary of defense, and military officers including the chief of staff.The Chief of Staff used command over each unit in line with the decision of the Wartime Cabinet.
