"US Forces" is the first single released from Australian rock band Midnight Oil's fourth studio album, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

The music video was filmed in the Central Coast of New South Wales at the Vales Point Power Station, Mannering Park.

[4] In 1983, for the "Stop The Drop" concert video, Peter Garrett, the lead singer, explained the song to the audience: "Midnight Oil are here today because we're concerned about the issue of nuclear disarmament.

And I think when we're in Europe, we realized how close people were to becoming to understand that, if the Russians or the Americans decided that they were actually going to set something off, they would be faced with the possibility that they may have nuclear warheads detonated in their backyard, or in their laundry.

[1] The Australian satire show, The Chaser's War On Everything, made a parody of "US Forces", named "US Bases", about Peter Garrett's alleged selling-out.
