MattC,
I am sure there have been some, but too late tonight to Google to get confirmation. So how about the UK in Sierra Leone in 1999 (partly to rescue a UN expedition), Australia & allies in East Timor in 1999, the French in 2002 then others in the Ivory Coast and mmmm.
On my limited knowledge each has threatened to be "hot" and each has used a level of that lovely military term 'force projection'.
Incidentally do read Tom Odom's book, I recommend it; grim in places.
