Robertson Barracks

It was damaged but still driveable, was repaired and served in Vietnam, before being used as a "gate guardian" at Robertson Barracks.This was part of a total of A$8 billion allocated for spending on defence installations in the Northern Territory.In 2011 as part of the Obama administration's "pivot to Asia" it was announced that US Marines would be based in Darwin at the Robertson Barracks.Currently, the size and the accessibility of key facilities in Darwin follows closely with other US deployment sites around the globe.[9] Drawn-out negotiations over cost-sharing and other issues meant that the original number of 2,500 Marines per deployment would not be reached until at least 2020.
