This IPAN working group task is to raise the awareness of the US Force Posture Agreement which opens the gate to United States militarisation of Northern Australia and provides the entry “permit” for US warships and submarines to our ports and for their fighters and bombers to land, be stationed and refuelled at our airfields. It also enables the US to establish fuel, maintenance and munitions stores in Australia and these could include nuclear weapons. The working group will help initiate a campaign to have this Force Posture Agreement terminated.
