A: thats the role of the Navy and B: stopping threats before they become a problem is imperialist. Besides Australia's military is very small and war favors the defender. Especially a military with a small force like us. Our best bet would be to the "enemy" come here and get them bogged down in a land war they wouldn't be able to win. Otherwise we would have to build a Navy as mighty as the USA.

[@peterjames9610]

@@teagueman100 I ain’t an armchair admiral but simple look at a globe gives some insight to what a simple plan may entail, the Army is supposed to be getting sea denial weapons that are designed to be effective in bottling up naval choke points, some of the most important are north of Australia, covering all of these was the role of Navy but now all three services will be able to help fulfil that role, ground based weapons could be used initially to close up the narrower choke points.

[@joelsmith-rainey60]

Brand new Amphibious combat vehicles being dispersed off Canberra class in support of HIMARS (airlifted) like the marines and F15 EX ( 1,272 kms) are a better solution than F35Bs in my basic personal opinion. ACVs, HIMARS and EX would make the Australian archipelago very prickly.

[@jarkinmalarkin]

We need to boost our population. It sucks a little for now but we need to do it. Also since Australia has started to put more money in defense. Manufacturing has gone up 8 percent. Inflation is destroying other countries more than us. We have a lot of laborers compared to older countries. I think in the future having a bigger skilled population makes sense. We've always been good in mining and agriculture but it's time to up our manufacturing and bringing skilled legal migrants is a good idea, just hopefully in the future housing is more accessible and laborers catch up.

[@AnarchyEnsues]

@@jarkinmalarkin the reason people are never given the choice to vote on immigration is because the answer would be to close the borders. wages are stagnate and rents and property prices are out of control. we dont have a skilled labour shortage, we have business not willing to pay fair wages shortage.

[@jarkinmalarkin]

@@AnarchyEnsues I know we don't. Once inflation goes down and interest rates go down we have an already skilled labour force to supply new houses. I didn't say we had a skilled labour shortage but we do have a skill shortage from doctors to what we really want is more skilled engineers. Yes Australians want to keep people out of our very lucky country. The thing is like I said we have been lucky in our resources and agriculture but it's time to start manufacturing things. For example we produce 50 percent of legal opium and sell it to another country and buy it back as morphine to anesthetics for way more. We sell our iron and then we buy it back in the form of a tank or whatever for way more. We need people to get our resources and manufacture it here. We only had 5 percent manufacturing. We have got it to 13 percent but to have more manufacturing we need more skilled people in business, engineers and so on. We are known as lucky but also lazy for that reason. Most countries would kill to have our resources but they don't so they rely on manufacturing. In the world we have the most millionaires per Capita, we have the smallest population out of the g20 countries and our GDP is ranked 13th which is insane. Our manufacturing has to go up. Just the state of Victoria is the same size as the u.k but it's 7 million population compared to 60 something million. So we have room. We are also isolated so we can bring in more people that are legal immigrants and not illegal immigrants. I'm just saying the evolution of Australia is to have more people and more manufacturing and in all of us would be richer than u.k which has the 5th highest GDP. I want to not get ripped off for our resources and also have a GDP like a g7 country. We need a higher population with the right people. I'm surprised there are no billionaires that want to turn western Australia into Dubai or even if you travel the east coast there are a lot of pockets which are beautiful but the houses and the area looks incest. Australia has the potential to be even richer and the only way that is is with a bigger population. If we don't where just gonna run on resources what has done us just fine but like we are we got to start making things here and have a better posture to the world. For example some Australians invented wifi but we sold it, they get kick backs but America can claim it. I just think it's time to boost manufacturing and the support that goes with it. To do that we need more people. Once this year is over or mid next year and our economy is back to normal I'm all for keeping our ideas here and our resources here. We can't do that with 25 million people.

@@mattharcla Oooh good thinking, my beliefs are that Australia needs fast light mobile ground forces. Like technical style vehicles. We don't have the numbers to fight a conventional war with front lines and such. If any of the likely countries were to invade their numbers would blow us away in days if we tried, we'd have to fight guerilla style and hit and run. Light, fast, highly mobile and armed with high powered weapons and long ranges, both in the vehicles and weapons. Harassing actions meant to make it too costly to invade and occupy the country is the only way we could defeat an invader. Our armed forces are already trained to a higher level than many other nations, this would be our advantage rather than trying to emulate larger nations and their kind of conventional warfare doctrines/tactics.

Honestly (and this is coming from an ex-service member), the Australian government would be better off buying 5 million steyr rifles at this point and giving every healthy male a gun if we're invaded as we're gonna fall pretty fast if China gets serious about us. Add some drones and anti-armor weapons into the mix such as Javelins and we might be able to do half of what Ukraine is currently doing against a 500k invading force.

@@rainey06au Could basically do a quick conscription style enlistment with every male reporting to their local command signing on, doing some quick paper work and then being readied as a local defense unit, either basically every suburb of Australia being covered by one of these units armed with thousands of conscripts. The caveat to this being if things go pair shaped, the men fall back to their homes, taking their guns and ammo with them and acting in an insurgent manner protecting homes to the best of their ability.

AND basically most men already had CMF pre training & school cadets , had been shooting rifles since they were young boys. Not like the gender confused, soft entitlement people of today. And yes as a citizen militia rifle that works inside most state laws a Lee Enfield is basically a perfect platform. A few minor changes & different cartridge , better sighting attachments , stock & length is a fantastic. We are so far behind the 8ball ! a volunteer service with flexibility of peoples work / life arrangements Would certainly bring forward the proud & passionate people, supplying their own kit & own rifles & open cartridges to compete against one another. That would eventually hi light the best rifles , cartridges , tools & kit ect . That would also inspire business to start producing locally manufactured products, and create handloaders out of everyone that remotely serious. This is what we need for a in-depth onion ring defence of Australia IMO. I ‘ve seen the passion in the people playing gel blasters , decked out in all of their gear spending thousands of $ on only QLD allows that hobby . I couldn’t help but think of the lost & wasted resources in these boys & girls, they have drones & radios & work in teams .

LOL don't be fooled - if you go in as an OR ( aka Pvt) - you have NO choice on ANYTHING. You will be posted/shafted to wherever they need soldiers. If you are married - you will have no real choice on where and what house you live in. And when it comes to future postings - it is totally based on what unit needs soldiers. So for 99% of soldiers, you will have no choice on where you get posted. The ARA in the next 10-20 years will NOT be in a position of war, so all you will be doing is stupid war games and exercises. If you are in a "frontline" unit say 1 RAR or 2 CAV etc you will spend 3-6 months out on exercise - away from family and wife. And when in "barracks" - you will be doing bullshit boring stuff. If you honestly want to join the Army - then try as an Officer through RMC Duntroon or ADFA. If you don't get in, then seriously think of another profession. The Army doesn't give 2 schitts about you - just look how over the last 20 years how all the veterans from the Iraq/Afghan war have been treated by both the Army, the Veterans Affairs, and the Government..... They ( the soldiers/veterans) have been treated like scum. SO look at how they have been treated before you join the Army. The only soldiers that are treated well are officers. Don't waste your life. There are a tonne of better options for jobs. The Army sucks. The person 1 rank above you can make your life hell. You have NO CONTROL over anything. And being promoted, or getting on courses etc ( ie: to further your career ) is 100% dependent on if you are in the good books with your CPL or SGT and LT..... It is a massive gang and 99% of the soldiers are stupid, non educated idiots, and extremely immature. The Army is mostly 17-25 year olds - super immature, and idiots. They only care about going out and effing women, drinking and acting like idiots. They act like kids and the Army encourages drinking - alcohol and spirits are cheap on base. In a nutshell - unless you can become an Officer, do NOT join the Army. Do not waste 4-5 years of you life. The Military couldn't give 2 schitts about you. And yes I served for 13 years.....

How would Australia fall very quickly?

[@TheBushrangianOrder]

@IN BACON WE TRUST we have very little fuel reserves, a very small, weak military monitoring a large continent. An inept but authoritarian government and a failed society/state. The population is not connected, conscripts would be poorly trained with minimal knowledge in martial matters, if they could be mustered at all, our infrastructure is weak and vulnerable. Our war economy manufacturing base is just about nil as well. Etc. Etc. We have some high-tech equipment, but they are liquidated rapidly in wartime. 80,000 personnel is tiny compared a force that would consider invading.

[@Suduris]

@@TheBushrangianOrder That implies an invader could get an invading force on land (somewhere significant, invading in Darwin for example is stupid), can then supply them across the ocean sufficiently and manage to hold it. Logistically it's a damn nightmare for anyone.

GREAT PRESENTATION. Unfortunately our new labor government has canceled most of the armoured troop carriers and mobile howitzer purchases. So much of the army will now be on foot going into battle. The so called defence review is just a means of shuffling money around and fudging of numbers to hide the labor's virtual spending cuts. There was no new money for defence in the budget, which is strange when in the review paper said we are facing the biggest military threat since ww2. 2% of GDP is not enough. Defence spending should be doubled, how about 4% at the next budget JIM.

[@concernedaussie1330]

Yep what defence force. Especially when one takes into account our coastline & personal per kilometre & our ability sustain a long campaign & replace equipment & Kia & wounded . It’s not a defence force if it can only defend against a couple of small / probing attacks .

[@danieldelaney1377]

They are funnelling it into the navy and airforce because in case you haven't noticed we are an island. The army is the last layer of defence in case of an actual invasion and its only real job since its existed has Been as an expeditionary force.

It sucks because other countries inflation we can't get anything until 2025. Himars, better missiles for our jets and navy, 150 tanks, apaches and black hawks. I hope we don't just throw away our attack helicopters we already have when we get the new choppers, we can get software upgrades and the taipan and tiger I think are ranked 5th in the world as attack helicopters go. I just think Australia is so big, helicopters are a huge deal compared to tanks, especially that we have bae systems Australia has made helicopter drones to fly with helicopters, also we have the f35s it's time to start making the Boeing ghost bat drone fly with the f35s. Also hypersonics we can be working on until the procurements at the top in 2025. In other words before 2025 upgrade software to our choppers, hypersonic research and combining drones with choppers and jets should be our focus for the next year and a half. I do think we should have a course like Ukrainians are given. With slightly less restrictions. civilians should be allowed to do the same course. The Ukrainians for example who are getting trained are over weight, criminal records, mh issues and are too old. I think it would be a good course for Australian civilians to do now who don't tick all the boxes for the regular infantry. It's better for civilians to learn some combat experience instead of waiting until it's too late. Also now nioa owns barrett why don't they make a gen 3 Barrett recc7 in creed more. Barrett makes an awesome AR and assault rifle and our special forces are still using a m4 with a troy rail and kac accessories when an Australian owned company like Barrett can make a better m4 type gun.
