Analysis must be cross-cutting and consider the regional and global dimensions of problems, their technological and military aspects, as well as their media linkages and broader human consequences. It must also strive to understand the far reaching and complex dynamics of military transformation, international terrorism or post-conflict stabilization. Through the “Focus stratégique” series Ifri’s Security Studies Center aims to do so, offering new perspectives on the major international security issues in the world today. -

Forward Operating Bases: Is There a Place for Them in Australia's New
CONTRIBUTED ESSAY Forward operating bases: is there a place for them in Australia’s new defence strategy? D. R. Leece and I. M. C. Wolfe Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, New South Wales1 Australia’s defence posture has been refocused on our immediate region, but with the intent of holding any potential enemy forces as far from the Australian mainland as is practicable. A similar strategy in World War II saw Australia deploying operating bases in the Indonesian-Melanesian archipelago. This paper examines that experience, compares more successful with less successful uses of forward bases [Norfolk Island is used as an example of the former], and seeks to draw enduring lessons from that experience for Australia’s current defence. A principle of the defence phase of war is ‘defence this context, it is instructive to revisit our World War II in depth’ i.e. defending key terrain as far forward and to experience. This essay will provide geostrategic context the flanks of one’s main defensive position as is for, and examine the effect of, establishing forward practicable via disposition of forces and firepower, with operating bases in the archipelago to Australia’s north a view to surveilling one’s approaches, gaining early and east during the war. It will seek to establish what warning and time/space for manoeuvre, and imposing worked well and what was less successful, and then delay and attrition on the enemy before he reaches the draw enduring lessons from that experience for main defensive position (Australian Army 1977: 8-2). -

Department of Defence – Hearing Date: 24 October 2018; Due Date for Answers: 7 December 2018
Department of Defence – Hearing date: 24 October 2018; Due date for answers: 7 December 2018 Proof Portfolio Written Hansard QNo Senator BroadTopic QuestionText Hansard Page 1. During a hearing of the Senate Economics References Committee’s Inquiry into the Future of Naval Shipbuilding on 7 June 2018, I asked Ms Lisa Paul what specialist skills or specialist requirements of shipbuilding would be addressed by the new Naval Shipbuilding IRC or the Naval Shipbuilding College that are not covered by any one of four existing industry reference bodies. Ms Paul’s answer was that it was “a question worth asking the College”. She went on to say, in relation to specific skills gaps, that “the evidence from our shipbuilding colleagues on the board would be that there may be gaps in some areas, both in vocational education and in higher education.” In response to a question about skills not covered by the work of the existing IRCs, Ms Paul responded: “One of the things that actually impressed me a lot about the set-up of the college is the way that they are going about doing their gap analysis. I have not so much been concerned that the existing governance in vocational education and training can cope with it; I've been concerned that someone do a gap analysis to make sure that all the trades and all the higher education areas will be covered. I'm not so interested, as long as someone's doing it. The thing that I've been concerned about with the college is whether there is going to be a good gap analysis done of what exists. -
