PARTNERSHIP PILLARS Te AUKUS security partnership between Australia, the U.K. and the U.S. was officially announced on September 21, 2021, but its cultural, economic and military roots obviously have a much longer history.


Te U.S. and the U.K. have a longstanding relationship dating back formally to World War I but informally since the mid-1800s.


Following World War II, they formed a bilateral partnership (UKUSA) for intelligence sharing in 1946. A decade later, this had developed into the Five Eyes (FVEY) alliance, with the addi- tion of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. FVEY focuses on the gathering and sharing of intelligence information gleaned through signals (or signal intelligence), as well as electronic, cryp- tographic and other means.


AUKUS became a natural extension of UKUSA thanks to geog- raphy, as Australia’s location in the Pacific makes it ideally suited for intelligence gathering in that part of the world. Its key objec- tive is to improve the quality of decision-making by commanders
