At the start of September 1939, the military presence in Townsville was very minimal. The 11th Infantry Brigade had its Headquarters in Townsville and had the following battalions under its command. Only one of these, The Kennedy Regiment, was based in Townsville:-
11th INFANTRY BRIGADE
| BATTALION | NAME | LOCATION |
| 26th Battalion | The Logan & Albert Regiment | Hughenden |
| 31st Battalion | The Kennedy Regiment | Townsville |
| 42nd Battalion | The Capricornia Regiment | Rockhampton |
| 51st Battalion | The Far North QLD Regiment | Cairns |
The only other Australian Army presence in the Townsville area at that time was the 21st Heavy Battery, RAA and the 121st Heavy Battery, RAA which were both Base Units of the 1st Military District, whose Headquarters at that time were in Brisbane.
