The Defence Department has charged and reprimanded two serving soldiers involved in making violent and racist comments in the wake of last month's Islamic protests in Sydney.
Thirteen other soldiers have been formally counselled over their actions.
Defence launched an investigation after a group of Australian soldiers from the Townsville-based 3rd Brigade made threatening comments against the Muslim community on Facebook.
Those involved joked about using sniper rifles and machine guns on Muslims.
The remarks were made in the days after the Sydney protest sparked by an anti-Islamic film insulting the Prophet Mohammed.
