Five-Power Defense Arrangement (FPDA)

Initially created in 1971 between Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UK, as a promise to security Scure Singapore and Malaysia in a time of great instability, this agreement now includes a great deal of opportunities for intelligence sharing. Perhaps the most publicized element of FPDA is the Headquarters of the Integrated Area Defence System, commanded by a Royal Australian Air Force Air Vice Marshal, which stands as a gateway to further military training and integration between the member states.
