Summary
We are currently in the era of great power competition, and many states are grappling with how the future may unfold. Coalition warfare will be a key consideration in any flare-up. This chapter analyses the complexity of coalition warfare in the twenty-first century through the prism of the British Army’s experiences in the United Kingdom–led Multi-National Division (South East) and in Basra in the Iraq War. Any future wars in which Australia participates will most likely be as part of a coalition effort. Australia is unlikely to be the leading partner and will need to assess how best it will serve as a supporting participant in future coalitions.
