Fleet Command

Commander Australian Fleet	Rear Admiral Tim Barrett

Commander Australian Fleet (COMAUSFLT) has responsibility to the Chief of Navy for the full command of assigned assets and to Joint Operations Command for the provision of operationally ready forces. While the Chief of Navy sets strategic requirements and priorities, COMAUSFLT is responsible for implementing these at the operational level. COMAUSFLT thus has dual responsibilities: to the Joint Operations Commander and to the Chief of Navy. Training, assessment and crossforce operational integration are major activities for Fleet Command.
