美国和澳大利亚9月3日在华盛顿宣布深化防务关系，以应对中国在太平洋地区日益增长的军事影响力。1美国防长彼得·赫格塞特与澳大利亚国防部长理查德·马尔斯举行会晤，两国同意加快在澳大利亚基地的军事部署计划、加强后勤合作和联合军事互操作性。1
根据新协议，美军获准在澳大利亚进行训练、储存设备和轮流部署军事人员。1美国防务人员已在澳大利亚西部HMAS斯特林海军基地开展工作，该基地将从2027年起接待美国指挥的潜艇轮流部署。1澳大利亚还在达尔文北部城市接待美国海军陆战队的轮流部署。1两国还将共享制导武器和下一代军事能力的合作。1
澳大利亚国防部长马尔斯强调，"美国在澳大利亚的军事态势正在增长"，以应对"二战以来任何国家最大规模常规军事建设——中国"。1这一防务合作还将落实美国、澳大利亚和英国的AUKUS防务协议。1中国曾警告AUKUS协议存在危险，可能引发地区军备竞赛。1
US Defense Secretary Peter Hagerty and Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles met in Washington on September 3, 2026, to announce enhanced defense cooperation between the two nations 1. The officials agreed to accelerate military deployment plans at Australian bases, strengthen logistical cooperation, and improve joint military interoperability 1.
The expanded partnership will allow US military personnel to train, store equipment, and rotate deployments in Australia, while both nations will collaborate on guided weapons systems and next-generation military capabilities 1. Marles stated that "the US military posture in Australia is growing" in response to "China's massive conventional military buildup, the largest by any nation since World War II" 1. American defense personnel are already operating at HMAS Sterling naval base in Western Australia, which will begin hosting US-led submarine rotation deployments starting in 2027 1. Although Australia does not permit foreign military bases on its territory, it hosts rotating US Marine Corps deployments in the northern city of Darwin 1.
The defense cooperation is part of the broader AUKUS agreement involving the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom 1. China has warned that the AUKUS partnership poses dangers and could trigger a regional arms race 1.
