190 Defence 2013-14 Budget impact analysis to determine the effects of a deployment up to 1400. However, there remains no timetable set for this larger deployment. These joint initiatives will take place on existing defence facilities and will better position Australia and the US to join with other partners to respond to a range of contingencies in the Asia-Pacific region, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Administered by the Australian and US defence departments, the JointDefence Facility at Pine Gap is a component of the USs global missile defence and early warning system. The facilitys workforce and families make a significant contribution to the population of AliceSprings.
