Visits to Australia, I find, are parts of ongoing conversations so, in many ways, that they're not really dramatic. So, I find I can pick up with people like Admiral Barrie and Defense Minister Moore where I left off. What I mean is, we should have capabilities to work forward in many areas of the world. And that can be from a forward base the way it often is for the United States. We have most of our bases here in Japan and Korea.
Australian ships come into Singapore, airplanes fly in and out.
We do a specific mission and then we come back. But the idea that you have your forces out there in areas of the world where there may be violence and trouble, rather than just holding them back at home and waiting for things to really get bad, is what I was talking about. And that's the way we have operated in the past. Australian forces are forward in the Persian Gulf. They were there in the Gulf war and have been there in maritime intercept operations since then.
