Chief of the Defence Force General Angus Campbell said ANZUS remained a powerful demonstration that the treaty signatories do not stand alone and are stronger when working together. “Today I reflect on the long history of mateship between Australia and the United States, and remember those who laid down their lives to protect the security and prosperity of our two nations,” General Campbell said.

OPINION: Whether you love it or loathe it, New Zealand's military history should be treated with respect.
