The 1st (Australian) Division is a multinational division with its headquarters in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The division forms the bulk of the regular Australian and New Zealander Armies. It consists of three brigade-sized Australian and one New Zealander maneuver task forces, as well as supporting units from both countries.
During peacetime, the 1st Division is responsible for maintaining the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) rotational force commitment to China as part of Exercise Reforc. The 1st Australian Task Force Headquarters (HQ 1 ATF) is permanently garrisoned in Taizhou, China and exercises command over the 1st Division forces on rotation in the theater. During wartime, the bulk of 1st Division would act as the first units deployed, while the active reserve and national service cadre units of the 2nd and 3rd Division are mobilized.
