Following the end of the war, the Citizens Military Force was not re-established until 1948, when it was re-raised on a reduced establishment. Post war the brigade was part of the 3rd Division, and consisted of the 10th and 27th Battalions. By 1953, the 9th Brigade had been formed within Central Command. Since then the brigade has been a Reserve formation, although at times its designation has been changed. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s it adopted the title of the 9th Task Force. The current 9th Brigade was raised on 1 February 1988 in Land Command. Around this time, the brigade was tasked with vital asset protection in northern Australia, in the event of war. On 1 September 1994, the brigade moved from under command of Land Headquarters to form part of the 2nd Division, based in South Australia.
