Australia this week announced three major shifts in military leadership, appointing a new Chief of Defence Force as well as new leaders of the navy and army.

Vice Adm. Mark Hammond, the current navy chief, will take over as Australia’s top military officer. Rear Adm. Matthew Buckley will replace him as navy chief. And, in the most widely reported change in Australia, Lt. Gen. Susan Coyle will become army chief - the first woman to hold the position.

Coyle has served at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels in a range of command roles, as well as in both Army and joint staff appointments, according to a news release from Australia’s Defence Department.

Coyle said becoming Australia’s 42nd army chief was an "absolute honour," and pledged to take on the role with humility and a deep appreciation of her service experience.

"To this appointment, I bring deep experience across three warfighting domains and operational service spanning all five," Coyle said. "This breadth of experience provides a strong foundation for the responsibilities of command and the trust placed in me."

澳洲本週宣布3項重大軍事高層人事調整，任命新任國防軍司令，以及更換海軍與陸軍首長。

現任海軍司令、海軍中將哈蒙德將出任澳洲國防軍最高軍事首長；海軍少將巴克利將接任海軍司令。而最受關注的人事變動，則是陸軍中將柯益爾將出任陸軍司令，成為史上首位擔任該職的女性。

澳洲國防部新聞稿指出，柯益爾歷任多項指揮職務，服務橫跨戰術、作戰及戰略層級，並曾任職於陸軍及聯合參謀體系。

柯益爾表示，出任澳洲第42任陸軍司令是「莫大榮耀」，並承諾將以謙遜態度履行職責，同時珍視其服役歷程所累積的經驗。

她指出：「在此任命中，我具備橫跨3大作戰領域的深厚經驗，且作戰服役歷程涵蓋5大領域。這樣的廣泛歷練，為我承擔指揮責任及回應所賦予的信任，提供了堅實基礎。」
