Air Power Australia is a private non-profit Australian think tank.
 It was formed by Dr Carlo Kopp and Peter Goon in October 2004.
 The stated primary aim of the organisation is 'air power research and analysis, especially in the context of a modern integrated joint national force structure.'
 Air Power Australia is not affiliated with the Department of Defence, the Australian Defence Force or any other Australian Commonwealth government organisation. Hubert Raymond Allen
Hubert Raymond Allen, (19 March 1919 – 31 May 1987) was a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer and commentator on defence matters.
 He fought during the Battle of Britain and was an flying ace of the Second World War, scoring 8 victories.
 Following his retirement from the RAF as a wing commander in 1965, Allen wrote several controversial books and articles on air power.
 He criticised RAF Air Staff policies before and during the Second World War.
 In contrast to the conventional narrative account, he maintained that during the Battle of Britain naval rather than air power was the crucial factor.
 His opinions clashed with mainstream opinion of the RAF's role, and with the views of many air historians, but his viewpoint received some support and significant attention. 4th Air Support Operations Squadron

The Airfield Defence Guard (ADG) mustering of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) performs specialist ground defence tasks to protect air power assets from hostile ground action.
 The mustering is composed of non-commissioned members, commonly called 'ADGies,' most of whom are employed within a Security Forces (SECFOR) Squadron (SQN).
 Their primary role is the protection of RAAF equipment, personnel, assets and facilities during operations.
 While ADGs train to counter special forces as the primary ground threat to the projection of air power, ADGs are themselves conventional forces.
 Other duties include training RAAF personnel in weapon handling and basic ground defence tactics.
