dbo:abstract
  • Southern Area Command was one of several geographically based commands raised by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. It was formed in March 1940, and initially controlled units located in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and southern New South Wales. Headquartered in Melbourne, Southern Area Command was responsible for air defence, aerial reconnaissance and protection of the sea lanes within its boundaries. From 1942 its operational responsibilities excluded New South Wales. The area command continued to operate following the end of the war, becoming the hub of Air Force training services. In October 1953, the RAAF began reorganising its command-and-control system from one based on geography to one based on function; Southern Area was re-formed as Training Command, which in 2006 became Air Force Training Group, a component of RAAF Air Command.

  • O Comando da Área do Sul foi um de vários comandos geográficos criados pela Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foi formado em Março de 1940, e inicialmente controlava as unidades da RAAF em Vitória, Tasmânia, Austrália Meridional e da zona sul de Nova Gales do Sul. Com quartel-general em Melbourne, o comando era responsável pela defesa aérea, reconhecimento aéreo e protecção da orla costeira dentro das suas fronteiras. A partir da 1942 as suas responsabilidades deixaram de se fazer cumprir na zona sul de Nova Gales do Sul. O comando continuou a operar após o cessar das hostilidades, tornando-se num centro de unidades de treino; mais tarde, em Outubro de 1953, seria re-formado como o Comando de Treino, sob o novo sistema de comando e controlo funcional.
