National mobilisation, the purposeful use of society\u2019s resources to defend Australia and its interests, has been prominent in the managing of the 2020 pandemic. A deep analysis of this is a post-COVID-19 task but some matters relevant to thinking about future defence national mobilisations are already evident explains Griffith University\u2019s Dr Peter Layton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main angst seems supply chain fragility. Businesses have honed down global supply chains to achieve highly efficient, just-in-time deliveries rather than building large just-in-time stockholdings. This approach worked well until this particular disruption that, in encompassing the world, means there are no last resort, fallback suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such an event makes it difficult arguing the problem is simply China. There is a good rationale for diversifying supply chains to include other countries as well as China to enhance robustness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help managing future regional supply disruptions but COVID-19 is well beyond that. For example, America has both stopped medical exports to Canada<\/a> and acted internationally to divert medical supplies<\/a> from reaching NATO allies. In this situation, diversified supply chains are not the solution and maybe not \u2018trusted\u2019 ones either. This dilemma makes the ADF\u2019s international supply chains distinctly problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
