The Defence Force has launched an investigation into inflammatory comments allegedly made by current and former soldiers on Facebook about the recent Muslim protest in Sydney.
One Facebook page contains references to using machine guns and a sniper rifle on those who took part in the riot.
Defence Force Chief David Hurley says he does not agree with the comments and is promising swift action against any serving members of the ADF who have taken part.
"We don't agree with those sort of comments being made," General Hurley told reporters in Canberra.
"The Chief of Army... has made it very, very clear that we will track down and find out if those members are currently serving members, and if they're currently serving members they'll be appropriately dealt with."
The ABC understands some of the soldiers are linked to the Townsville-based Royal Australia Regiment.
These were some of the comments left on the page:
