ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The broad theme of the 2010 Conference is ‘Combined and Joint Operations from the Sea’ and is aimed at informing how Australia’s new expeditionary capabilities may be best introduced into service and used to advantage. Combined and joint operations from the sea are generally well defined doctrinally but in practice the understanding of maritime expeditionary operations often varies widely between countries. A military operation from the sea is generally much more complicated than is implied by amphibious operations alone, where the principal task is ‘landing forces ashore tactically’.
Combined and joint operations from sea often involve significant political, social and cultural aspects that may directly impact command decisions at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. They are often described as the most complex of all military operations.

Things to do in Sydney:
- Slip under the sails of the Sydney Opera House for a tour and performance.
- Sydney Art Tours runs regular tours of some of Sydney’s best galleries, as well as specialised programs.
- At Sydney Wildlife World visit the butterfly nursery before getting up close to these gorgeous creatures in their steamy Flutterbys butterfly habitat. The ‘Shark Explorer’ glass-bottom boat at Sydney Aquarium floats above the Great Barrier Reef oceanarium. You’ll see shark feeding in perfect safety.
- One of the most exhilarating ways to enjoy Sydney Harbour is on a BridgeClimb, a trek which takes you to the summit of the Harbour Bridge. Climb at dawn, day, twilight or night, or take the Discovery Climb, which takes you for a closer look at the inside workings of the Bridge.
- See the harbour at breakneck speed from a jet boat, where you’ll experience 270° spins and the “powerbrake stop.” Or move at a more leisurely pace and hire a kayak to paddle around secret harbour coves and beaches.
