US military to build war-ready stockpile in Australia, documents show
The US military is establishing a permanent war-ready weapons stockpile for its Marine Corps in southeastern Australia, beyond the range of most Chinese missiles, to counter China's military expansion. The $30 million project, set to reach full capacity by 2028, will store equipment in Melbourne before relocating to a base in Bandiana, Victoria, with operations coordinated with Australia's Department of Defence.
