**About our Team**
The five Land Capability program teams these positions relate to are professional, multidisciplinary integrated teams comprising ADF, APS and contractor workforce, working together under their respective Program Directors.

Land Capability Division is the core of Army’s Land Capability System and is responsible for delivering and integrating the fundamental inputs to capability that generate and sustain Australian military capability in the Land Domain.

The Division operates in accordance with the One Defence Capability System and includes the activities conducted to modernise and sustain the Army and build its future capacity.
