Australia's Defence Forces will soon have a new chief. Army Lieutenant-General Angus Campbell will replace the Air Force's Mark Binskin in the role in July. It comes as Australia's Defence Forces are engaged in complex and dangerous missions in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. And it also coincides with arguably the largest modernisation of Australian forces in peacetime history.
