30. Military Conscription: Issues For Australia Analysis of the manpower shortages facing the Australian military and the potential use of conscription to make up the shortfall. http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/cib/1999-2000/2000cib07.htm

Current Issues Brief 7 1999-2000 Military Conscription: Issues for Australia Gary Brown Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Group 12 October 1999 Contents Major Issues Introduction The Size of the Defence Force and Army How Can Conscription be Introduced? ... Appendix: Personnel Costs Major Issues The need to deploy a substantial force to East Timor has placed unanticipated stresses on the Australian Regular Army. It has become clear that rotating the troops sent to Timor is going to be difficult for an Army of less than 24 000 Regulars, as Australia's is today. This difficulty has led some to call for the introduction of compulsory military service. Conscription is certainly a quick means of raising large numbers of troops. However, the need for training means that it would not deliver personnel fast enough to solve the Timor rotation problem. Historically Australia has been able to maintain an Army significantly larger than the present force by means of voluntary enlistment. In the eighties the Regular Army was almost 8000 stronger than it is now and conscription was not required. Universal conscription of, e.g., all 18 year old males is both prohibitively expensive (salary costs alone in that case are about $2.8 billion per annum) and delivers too many personnel-if two years service is required, then such a scheme would increase the Regular Army by almost 100 000 personnel. This would seriously unbalance the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

World Australian military trains controversial Afghanistan fighters in Australia English.news.cn Feedback Print RSS By Vienna Ma CANBERRA, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) The Australian military has helped train senior Afghan militia fighters under the control of a controversial warlord, in a bid to strengthen operations against the Taliban, a report unveiled on Friday. According to Fairfax, six soldiers under the control of the controversial Afghan warlord, Matiullah Khan, visited Australia last week to train with some of Australian Defense's elite soldiers. Khan, a powerful war lord in the southern Uruzgan province in Afghanistan, charges the U.S. and Australia millions of dollars a month to protect military supply convoys, and was accused of having a similar arrangement with drug traders. The report said although Khan is one of the most powerful figures in Uruzgan province, the Dutch forces had refused to work with Khan because of his alleged links to murder and extortion, and blocked his appointment as local police chief. Australian Chief of the Defense Force Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston on Friday confirmed a group of Afghanistan fighters were brought to Australia for military training, but refused to confirm whether the Afghan group has linked to Khan.

39. Battle Of Bardia: Australian War Memorial Australian Military Units Battle of Bardia. Bardia is a small town on the Mediterranean coast of Libya, in the region of Cyrenaica, approximately 30 kilometres from the Egyptian border http://www.awm.gov.au/units/event_222.asp

Search terms Home Museum Remembrance War history ... Statistics Australian Military Units Battle of Bardia Bardia is a small town on the Mediterranean coast of Libya, in the region of Cyrenaica, approximately 30 kilometres from the Egyptian border. During the early decades of the 20th century it was developed as a miltary outpost during Italy's colonisation of the region. Prior to the Second World War it was fortified by the construction of an arc of defensive posts, 29 kilometres long, around the town and its small harbour. In April 1941, the Axis offensive in Cyrenaica carried them back to Bardia which was again occupied as a strongpoint for their defence of the frontier. Neither of the two British offensives of mid-1941 - Operation Brevity (15-27 May) and Operation Battleaxe (15-17 June) - got within striking distance of Bardia, and when Operation Crusader was launched on 18 November, part of the plan was to isolate Bardia and deal with its garrison later. It was duly assaulted by the 2nd South African Division between 31 December 1941 and 2 January 1942, and captured with 8,000 prisoners. The town was occupied by the Axis forces for the third and last time in June 1942, and abandoned without a fight following their defeat at El Alamein in November 1942.
