PNGDF headquarter to mark 50 years

In the months following the establishment of the headquarters, PNG defence powers were passed from Canberra to Port Moresby. 

This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the evolution of the PNGDF into the independent defence force it is today.

Members of the Australian Defence Organisation posted to PNG will join the PNGDF for the 50th Anniversary parade.

 The Australian Defence Force’s deep and enduring links with the PNGDF are founded on a history of shared sacrifice and partnership.
