Overview
In the contemporary operating environment, potential adversaries are increasingly capable of projecting military power over greater distances with mass, precision and speed. As a result, the Australian Defence Force's (ADF's) airbases, which are typically large and centralised physical structures with fixed and easily targetable infrastructure, are no longer the sanctuaries for air power that the nation has relied on since the end of the Second World War.
An agile posture through Agile Operations increases deterrence by being strategically predictable, but operationally unpredictable.
Understanding and planning for resilience will enable airbases to prepare for, resist and recover from a diverse array of adverse events, assuring the delivery of air power to the joint force.
