The MoU includes the establishment of the Australia-United Kingdom-United States Supply Chain Resilience Cooperation Group to cooperate on data sharing and joint action to build resilience in priority supply chains, enhancing the countries' mutual ability to identify and address risks, threats and disruption to their critical supply chains.

The Group will develop an early warning pilot focused on the telecommunications supply chain, essential for the countries' global, digitised economies. By identifying and monitoring disruption risks to the telecommunications supply chain, this pilot will enhance all three countries’ knowledge of the vulnerabilities, criticality and residual risks. It will develop procedures for sharing this information and responding cooperatively to disruptions.
