I'd imagine they'd do that. Australia has been planning on siphoning resources from Detroit and Mexico for the last few decades.
I'm 90% sure the only use of US military personnel would be aid after a natural disaster.
Not unlike Japan, our soldiers based there helped with the cleanup and aid efforts.
If something like that happened to an Australian city it would mean the world to have a group of ready-to-respond, trained personal to keep peace and order until a larger response can be initiated.

I really don't see a natural disaster happening in Darwin to be honest. It's the middle of nowhere, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Not on the scale of the Japanese tsunami at least, sure you've got cyclone Tracy but I imagine the city is built to withstand that kind of shit now.
Overall it doesn't really worry me either way, couple extra marines to get drunk with or something I guess.
We're obviously looking for Al Koala. Their evil doings will be no more.

Noone predicted the Tsunami hitting Sri Lanka either, Nor Haiti. At any given moment nature could unleash massive amounts of force.
And also, if the US has military presence in Southeast Asia, China will be more pressured into following through with the demands from the nations of Asia on changing the value of their currency.

If Okinawa isn't enough to pressure China, I really doubt a mere 2.5k marines in darwin will significantly alter that

I know fighter jet pilots have gone to America, but not a large percent.
Australia agreed to this because the government has been sucking up to America since the second world war.
The real reason is that our Army is too pussy to deal with the threat of the drop bears. With America's ever increasing technology and weaponry, they'll be able to take this menace out once and for all.

Can't you just wear a Pickelhaube or even a Football Helmet with a Knife duct-taped to it?
This isn't a fantastic way to forge better relationships with China and the rest of south east asia
colonies of british unite
To be honest tho, China does need to start playing by I guess you could call it the "rules" seeing how its such a major economic and military power.

Australia has WMDs, connections to terrorist organizations

Fuck with them too. And maybe molest their kangaroos.
