In 1974, the Australian government confirmed the purchase of the Leopard, acquiring a total of 101 vehicles consisting of 90 MBTs, five Bridgelayers, and six ARVs, with two additional ARVs purchased later. The first Leopards arrived in Australia from West Germany in 1976, concluding a selection and trial process against the US M60 series that began in 1971 when the army sought a replacement for its British Centurions, which had served since 1952 and were deployed during the Vietnam War.
In March 2004, the decision was made to replace the Leopard 1 with reconditioned US M1A1 Abrams AIM. The first 18 of 59 M1A1 Abrams arrived in September 2006. The M88A2 Hercules is concurrently replacing the Leopard support variants in Australian service. The Leopard 1, operated by the 1st Armoured Regiment, was officially withdrawn from service in July 2007, with its guns never having been fired in combat operations. Some of the retired tanks were offered to military museums or RSL clubs.
