This article has been a FA since 2007, and has been periodically updated. It's now due for another update to take into account the new defence white paper, the 2013-14 budget and various smaller changes. I'd appreciate comments on the article's current material (including anything which should be

this should be updated: "The only positions which women are currently excluded from are those in which there is a high probability of 'direct combat', which includes all infantry positions and other positions in which there is a high probability of hand to hand

the "East Timor and after" section could possibly include discussion of the rotation of regular Army forces through both Iraq and
Afghanistan in the various roles that are no longer undertaken (e.g. SECDET, AMTG, OWBG, RTF, MTF,

the "Current expenditure" section probably should be updated to discussion the recent budget and the political debate probably could be reduced in weight;
209:
in the
Australian Army section: "currently being 'hardened and networked"... I don't think this applies any more. (It is being "Beersheba'ed" now... ;-)
175:: G'day, Nick, good idea to give this one a peer review. I have a few points to get started, although they are mainly just style/presentation points:

222:
this paragraph seems uncited: "The RAAF has modern combat and transport aircraft and a network of bases in strategic locations across
Australia."
245:
there appears to be an ISBN error for "Organising and
Dispatching the ADF's Expeditionary Force for the War in Iraq" (in the Reference list);

this needs updating: "Personnel from the Army's 16th Air
Defence Regiment" (16 AD has been renamed 16 Air Land Regiment);

Notes 143, 144 and 145 could be formatted to be consistent with others (such as 136 and 137);

this seems awkward: "unrepresentative of
Australia's society in this regards" --: -->

a few of the notes appear to be deadlinks; I wonder if archive links could be added;

Many thanks for those excellent comments - I really appreciate them. Regards,

title case: "Australian domestic security: The role of
Defence" --: -->

this doesn't seem correct to me as it implies that it is a proper noun;
188:" Approximately 400 of these personnel": I think it is a bit more now
