Throughout history, states have sought to influence events beyond their shores through the projection of power and the deployment of forces, sometimes locally, frequently at a considerable distance. The Australia Defence Force has grappled with the issued involved in deploying and sustaining forces in places as diverse as Somalia, Rwanda,East Timor and the Solomon Islands in recent years, but the issues themselves are timeless and were familiar to the Athenians as they despatched the ill-fated expedition to Syracuse in 415BC.
