I've been going over the books lately, and Australia's Armed forces seem *really* badly organised. The way i see it, we should use the increasing manpower of the forces to re-structure and streamline our land forces, and diversify and expand the capabilities of the Air Froce and Navy.
I figure the Army should simplify itself into a Central Force (The heavier reserve group) with say one Mechanised Brigade (With IFVs, SP artillery and air defense, as the RAA has none of these things) and one or two reserve infantry brogades, a Mobile Force (Quick Reaction) with the commando (Airborne) Regiment, a Light Brigade and an armoured cavalry regiment, and the NorthForce with a Light Brigade, plus some extra armoured and support units.
The SAS and regular commando regiments could be under a unified SF Group, and the Commandos could take over some of the SAS jobs like pilot rescue and LRRP, etc. This way the SAS could be free to perform it's more taxing roles like CT work and infiltration and hostage rescue, since they have pretty limited resources riht now. Also, we need some attack helicopters, and more Amphibious warfare ships.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone thought this was a good idea.
