Forward defence in the Vietnam War. This was when Australia moved there defence forward, effectively becoming attacking, so that they wouldn't be defending in there own country, they would be defending somewhere else. This method of defence basically gave Australia more time, and wiped out a few 100 communists
hope it helped :)
