Some great insights from General James Mattis, on the Matter of Professional Military Reading. thearmyleader.co.uk/mattis-profess…

Well worth a read

A great article on the challenges of developing strategy. US centric but just as applicable for Australia. The strategies and actions of US and China (mainly, but other countries as well) are key factors in a middle power’s strategic assessments thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/202…

While it takes some time to build a capable and effective naval aviation force, the PLA-N is on that path. After 2 decades of Sea Denial focus (to ‘blunt’ the USN) China is now moving to ‘build’ its own power projection and Sea Control capabilities.. news.usni.org/2021/12/31/chi…

Great to see this vital Australian Army capability in great hands.

#YearinReview || Exercise Sea Explorer was the second of three exercises in the annual Sea Series to hone and certify Australia’s Amphibious Forces with RAAF and Navy. #FutureReady

Certainly potential here. Sure, there is an element of risk, but there is in more traditional methods as well…

The US Commander, Naval Surface Forces (VADM Kitchener) released the latest thinking on retaining their competitive edge on 11 Jan. Well worth reading. surfpac.navy.mil/Portals/54/Doc…

An important event - Our ADFA Midshipmen and Officer Cadets will be given free entry courtesy of the ANI. Many thanks

Very definitely worth a read!

Worth reading. UAVs, USVs and UUV’s all have potential and a role, but are not the panacea. The costs and risks are different, so we need to keep the mission in mind. Remember, form follows function and not the other way around!!

Leading people through change is part of stewardship and it is a privilege. In this moment in time while I’m in the role, I am leading a new approach to how we support, enable and empower people throughout their career in #YourADF.

The Centre for Defence & Strategic Studies has been instrumental in shaping the strategic thinking of #YourADF leaders. Thank you to all who deliver the Defence & Strategic Studies Course & congratulations to the alumni for their commitment to personal & professional development.
