Utility wise the full utility could have been used a few times (let's look at since 2000):
Lebanon - UNIFIL Inf Bn withdrawal - 2001
Eriteria - UNMEE Inf Gp deployment - 2001
Bosnia - SFOR / EUFOR rotation - 2003 (not sure if this was required)
Eriteria - UNMEE Inf Gp withdrawal - 2003
Liberia - UNMIL Inf Bn deployment - 2003
Kosovo - Tpt Coy / Inf Gp rotation - 2004
Lebanon - UNIFIL Inf Gp deployment - 2006
Lebanon - UNIFIL Inf Gp withdrawal - 2007
Liberia - UNMIL Inf Bn withdrawal - 2007
Sweden - NBG ex - 2008
? - EUFOR Chad/CAR Inf Bn deployment - 2008
? - MINURCAT Inf Bn withdrawal - 2010
Sweden - NBG ex - 2010
Kosovo - Inf Gp withdrawal - 2010
Lebanon - UNIFIL Inf Bn deployment - 2011
Lebanon - UNDOF - 2013
Sweden - NBG ex - 2015
Germany - EUBG ex - 2016
Then there could have been other ops eg the clear up after the 2004 Tsunami, 2010 Haiti earthquake, the evacuation from Libya in 2011, foreign cruises (eg Niamh to the Far East in 2002 and Eithne to South America in 2006), I'm sure there are others
