The Corps was formed on 2 August 1968 and provides the Army with musical support and seeks to improve the Army's public image.[2] It consists of 11 individual bands; five full-time and six part-time which are located in the capital city of each state as well as the regional cities of Wagga Wagga, Townsville, and Newcastle.
