The exercises, described in a classified version of the Australian government's defense strategy review, found that the country's army would struggle to respond to certain plausible and specific scenarios, according to Sydney Morning Herald and Channel 9 News. Among the scenarios that were analyzed in detail by security experts are a war between the United States and China over Taiwan, and Beijing establishing a military base in the Solomon Islands, neighboring Australia.
