The 4th Military District was an administrative district of the
Australian Army. During the
Second World War, the 4th Military District covered all of
South Australia, with its headquarters at
Adelaide. Around the start of the Second World War, the 4th Military District became part of Southern Command, along with the
3rd and
6th Military Districts in
Victoria and
Tasmania. This required legislative changes to the Defence Act (1903), and did not come into effect until October 1939.[1][2]
