CMF Australia is your community of volunteers spanning hundreds of years of service to defend there homeland in times of peril as ‘Service above Self’.
The CMF come together during conflict, hostility, war and invasion, training is optional, preparedness is essential in your mind.

After World War 1, the King of the British Empire ordered that all Forces in the Commonwealth, some 60 plus countries, were brought under one set of King’s Regulations (intermittently Queen’s Regulations) for Air, Land and Sea for all volunteer, irregular, regular, permanent and Territorial bodies of men who would form up under regulations.

The CMF is loosely affiliated with all types of human activity: ‘grey nomads’, ‘grey power’, campers, caravaners, travellers, those from scouts, guides, cadets, current forces protecting the Commonwealth, past service members and future service members to mention just a few. You will see the character in sports clubs, pretty well ang group or club that want to help improve themselves and others. The single motto would be service above self.

The CMF formed quickly with each settlement formation in the Colonies later being States.
The CMF history is just a bit of history of settlements dealing with conflict. There is no flag or rally place, it has been formed up and dispersed over time by all types of leaders, by Kings, Dukes, Lords, Knights, Officers, politicians and others. They have been raised when their is an alarm, then dispersed when ‘alls well’.
