Together with Campbell Park, these two complexes are home to the Australian Department of Defence and contain the administrative headquarters of the Australian Defence Force.[4] The buildings in the complex are informally referred to as R1, R2 and so forth. R1-R4 are clustered together in the centre of the complex[5], R5-R7 are clustered at the north[6], while R8 and R9 are together at the south.[7]

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) was located at Russell until their move into the Ben Chifley Building in July 2013.[8]

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) occupies Building 5 (R5) and Building 6 (R6) and their annex.[9] Upgrade works costing an estimated $75M were put to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works in March 2017.[10] The project is in the Department of Defence budget.[11]

The Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) is located in Building 4 (R4).[12]
