In the 1970s, the government made the decision to increase the military presence in the far north. As part of this, the Regional Force Surveillance concept was begun, and the first unit was raised from the 7th Independent Rifle Company, based in Darwin. This was renamed as the North-West Mobile Force, or NORFORCE, in 1981.
