The Navy established a new naval support activity in Perth, Australia, May 30, as part of AUKUS, the enhanced trilateral security partnership between the U.S., Australia and the United Kingdom.
This move follows a trilateral joint statement announced the same day, confirming the accomplishment of key milestones for Submarine Rotational Force – West, which will support the rotational presence of U.S. and U.K submarines at Australia's HMAS Stirling base in Western Australia.
Naval Support Activity Stirling will provide support services and programs for U.S. service members, civilian personnel, contractors and their families assigned to SRF-West.
"Establishment of NSA Stirling with our AUKUS partners demonstrates our command mission to support the fleet, warfighter and family," said U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Scott Gray, commander of Navy Installations Command. "By providing essential services to U.S. personnel and their families, NSA Stirling will enhance rotational submarine force readiness."
