Comment
The Royal Military College, Duntroon, also known simply as Duntroon, is the Australian Army‘s officer training establishment. It was founded at Duntroon, in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, in 1911 and is at the foot of Mount Pleasant near Lake Burley Griffin, close to the Department of Defence headquarters at Russell Hill. It is comparable to the United Kingdom’s Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and the United States Military Academy at West Point. Duntroon is adjacent to the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA), which is the Australian Defence Force’s tri-service military academy that provides military and tertiary academic education for junior officers of the Australian Army, Royal Australian Air Force, and the Royal Australian Navy.
