Ski Passes and Weber Grills? Obscure Perks of a U.S. Alliance
Briefly

The permanent American military presence on Australian soil is now at a scale unprecedented since the Second World War, raising concerns about what Australia gains from this deal.
Supporters, including the major parties in both countries, argue that the U.S. is heavily investing in Australian bases, training, and personnel, enhancing bilateral military cooperation.

Programs like discounted ski passes for military personnel demonstrate the tangible perks that arise from the ongoing military collaboration between Australia and the United States.
