Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific Century: Force 2030 was based around assumptions that China will become increasingly dominant in Australia's region and that Australia cannot rely on the United States for protection.[1]

The white paper outlines the Government's preferred ADF force structure. This structure will involve a significant expansion to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), including replacing the current six Collins class submarines with twelve new submarines, replacing the eight Anzac class frigates with eight larger frigates, developing a class of twenty corvettes to replace the RAN's patrol boats and survey ships, replacing the Navy's heavy lift ship and replenishment ship and buying 24 new naval combat helicopters. The previously-approved construction of at least three Hobart class destroyers and two Canberra class Landing Helicopter Dock will also go ahead.[2] The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is planned to be reequipped with up to 100 F-35 Lightning II combat aircraft, eight new maritime patrol aicraft, up to seven unmanned aerial vehicles and ten new light tactical transport aircraft along with an additional two C-130J Hercules.[2] There will be relatively few changes to the Australian Army, which is to be organised into three brigades each with about 4,000 soldiers. The main new equipment for the Army will be up to 1,100 light armoured vehicles, seven new CH-47F Chinook helicopters to replace the current CH-47D models and new self-propelled and towed 155mm artillery guns.[2]
