Force projection is not just a flex of military muscle in times of emergency or the act of dispatching forces. It is a cycle of force preparation, command, deployment, protection, employment, sustainment, rotation, redeployment and reconstitution. If the Australian Defence Force consistently gets this cycle wrong, then there is something wrong with Australia's defence. This monograph is a force projection audit of four Australian regional force projections in the late 1980's and the 1990's."--Provided by publisher.Canberra papers on strategy and defence ;171.National securityAustraliaAustraliaArmed ForcesAustraliaDefensesCase studiesNational security947.8Breen Bob966880MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910146385803321Struggling for self reliance2194716UNINA
