  • Summary

    The 2019–21 period required unprecedented mobilisation of the Australian Defence Force in response to domestic contingencies, including the National Bushfire Emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic and high-risk weather season events. The extensive employment of the ADF Reserves during this mobilisation provides a valuable opportunity to consider the ADF’s scalability and the emerging role of the part-time force. This chapter explores the Reserve’s contribution to recent domestic contingencies and how historical compromises which have limited the Reserve’s past employment now warrant revision.
