Why the Far East deputy commander would be Australian

Would the Far East deputy commander rotate between the Army and Royal Air Force?

Probably not; the deputy would more likely be Australian, with separate land, air, and naval commanders beneath the British theater commander.

A viewer asks whether the Far East deputy commander would rotate between the Army and Royal Air Force for political balance. An Australian deputy is more likely because the headquarters and facilities sit in Australia. A British five-star admiral would remain theater commander, with separate senior land, air, and naval component commanders below. The arrangement balances nationality and sovereignty at the top while preserving service expertise in the operational commands.
