41  Simplified outline of this Division

      This Part confers powers on members of the Defence Force if the Defence Force is being utilised under a call out order that specifies that this Division applies. Generally, the powers must be authorised by an authorising Minister. The powers can be exercised without Ministerial authorisation in sudden and extraordinary emergencies.
      The powers in this Division can also be exercised in an area specified under Division 4. If a particular power can be exercised both under this Division and Division 4, the power is taken to be exercised under this Division (so that any rules under Division 4 that would otherwise apply to the power do not apply).
      A power exercised under this Division for the purposes of a call out order can be exercised in a State or Territory that is not specified in the order if the exercise of the power is for the purpose specified in the order.
      Division 6 allows members of the Defence Force exercising powers under this Division to use reasonable and necessary force. Division 6 also:
             (a) confers powers and imposes obligations if persons are detained or things are seized; and
             (b) contains an offence for failing to comply with a direction; and
             (c) deals with the consequences of the exercise of powers by members of the Defence Force if obligations imposed in relation to the exercise of those powers have not been met or if call out orders and other instruments have not been validly made.
