Where in the World

The Forces Advisory Council on Entertainment has a charter to provide quality entertainment to Australian Defence Force (ADF) troops serving overseas. As a result, any location that has Australian Army, Navy or Air Force personnel can be the focus of a tour.

FACE's strong working relationship with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) allows for some joint tours where AFP and ADF personnel are collocated.

The following Defence operations are serviced by FACE (thanks to the Department of Defence web site for this information):
