The United States has funded a new fuel facility at Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Darwin in northern Australia to support the planned deployment of US military aircraft at this location as part of Enhanced Air Cooperation (EAC) between the countries.

The new fuel facility was initially announced in a joint statement by US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on 25 October. Biden and Albanese framed the completion of a new fuel facility at RAAF Base Darwin as progress in support of “strategically significant defence announcements made at AUSMIN 2023”. They added that the new fuel facility will “support [EAC] between the United States and Australia”.

In a statement on 30 October, the Australian Department of Defence (DoD) added that construction of the new fuel facility was completed in June 2023.
