from Part 6 - Deployment challenges
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 May 2025
What can be said about the operational performance of the Australian Defence Force when federal governments ordered selective mobilisations and projections of land force contingents overseas? This chapter examines force projection functions for six selected overseas ADF operations during the period 1987–2003. It applies a grading matrix to each function to produce an audit report. It then compares the reports to derive observations relating to evident systemic problems with operational performance and mitigation of risk.
