The Reservists are predominately drawn from the Australian Army’s 11th Brigade, whose soldiers come from Brisbane, Townsville and Perth.
ADF Reserve personnel are supporting the games security by conducting vehicle searches, providing logistics support, medical staff, and by working in the Joint Emergency Services Coordination Centre (JESCC).

JESCC is responsible for coordinating a multi-agency response should an incident occur during the games.
Additional ADF support includes Navy clearance divers, Army engineers and MRH90 Taipan helicopters, RAAF F/A-18 Hornets, and a ceremonial contingent.
