MacDonald served during World War II and commanded the Jungle Training Centre and Darwin Mobile Force.
Due to the legislative restrictions upon permanent military forces the opportunities for officers in the Permanent Military Force to gain command experience was low, thus upon establishment a large part of the Darwin Mobile Force's role was to provide command and training opportunities, not only to graduates from the Royal Military College, Duntroon, but also to members of the Australian Instructional Corps.

The force came into being on 14 November 1938, concentrating at Liverpool, New South Wales where equipment was issued and training undertaken.
