The win came off the back of a fast start, with the Force stunning the Brumbies for a 21-0 lead.
The Brumbies worked their way back into the contest and got themselves in front as player after player went to the bin.
But it was Wallaby Brandon Paenga-Amosa that delivered the win, scoring with seven minutes left as they closed it out.
Hooker Nic Dolly, wingers Harry Potter and Dylan Pietsch and Carlo Tizzano all crossed in the first quarter, with the Force playing with intent and purpose.
The home side were bolstered by the inclusion of four Wallabies in Allan Alaalatoa, James Slipper, Tom Wright and Len Ikitau, who sat out their round-one win in Suva, but the Brumbies looked unsettled early on, making uncharacteristic mistakes.
There was still a healthy 28-14 buffer at halftime, but the Force's poor discipline started to undo their good work.
The Brumbies scored three tries either side of halftime, while Force No.8 Reed Prinsep was off the field for a clumsy tackle that also left flanker Tom Hooper ruled out of the match with concussion.
Winger Corey Toole crossed in the 53rd minute to give the home side the lead for the first time, but five minutes later flying Force recruit Pietsch was in for his second.
Brumbies No.8 Charlie Cale bagged his second for his team to again go ahead, then the Force lost both skipper Jeremy Williams and Nic Champion de Crespigny to yellow cards.
Playing with only 13 men for five minutes and trailing 42-38, it appeared the visitors would be denied.
But they showed their grit to hammer the home side's line, before Paenga-Amosa came up with the match-winner.
