With Eye on China, Obama Boosts U.S. Military Presence in Australia | PBS NewsHour | Nov. 16, 2011 | PBS

More than 2,000 American troops are heading to Australia under a new security agreement. President Obama made the announcement today, but he stopped short of saying that the move is meant as a message to China.

The president arrived with plans in hand for the largest U.S. deployment in Australia since World War II. The announcement came in Canberra after a meeting with Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
