Americans and people from the UK will soon be able to join Australia's army. Australia needs around 4,400 new workers to join the army. Only people who are permanent residents in Australia can apply to join the army. Australia said people from other countries could join in the future.
Australian needs people because "it is essential to meet the nation's security challenges". A spokesperson said: "Recruiting from a wider pool of people will help ensure [the army] reflects the full diversity of Australia." The opposition party said: "We should be seeing more Australians with the confidence to sign up."
Back to the army recruits lesson.
