Great sustainment quote from CO 1 CSSB in #AustralianArmyJournal “There is a tendency, however, for some innovators to overemphasise technological advantage as a panacea for Army's warfighting challenges-a false economy that Australia cannot rely upon...” bit.ly/2xnMIER

Quite a bit of this is now happening across industry. Can #RAEME follow? Is it workable on the battlefield? BHP uses iOS app to cut truck maintenance times - iTnews apple.news/AyGIvOkdPSXuKI…

Went to my local former RSL Club [now the M Club Maroubra pending redevelopment :( ] for a 3 year old’s birthday. Now local band South House is playing. Cool and a bit random!

An excellent future focussed article on the effect that alternate energy systems will have on ADF capability and potentially sustainment costs - regardless of what steps we take. #RAEME

The Annual Mess Committee Meeting @ Victoria Barracks - a great tradition ensuring that what our predecessors established remains relevant now and well into the future for our successors.

One for you A Social Piranha. Because you need another course...

Definitely a subject for the newest Australian Army logistics leaders to consider as they begin their logistics career this week @ASLOAusArmy

So true - this line: “Comparison is useless, context is everything. Our soldiers have been exposed to a vast array of differing contexts throughout history. However, they still display the same traits today as they did 119 years ago – Courage, Initiative, Respect and Teamwork.

Surely this outcome was just a matter of time, the implications for less protected logistics elements are far reaching. defenceconnect.com.au/strike-air-com…

For want of a nail...

Occasionally miltwitter gushes over its own success. Here’s an unlikely example of selfless & relentless logistic planning success by a non govt civilian for the greater good. (paywall) theaustralian.com.au/weekend-austra…

Great to see CPO Zoe Mack kick off the Defence International Women’s Day Sydney live stream event. An impressive opening address!

Just had a really great discussion on the implications of #Acceleratedwarfare on logistics with our @ASLOAusArmy LOIC students via BigBlueButton. What a fantastic way to engage online, thx for the many questions submitted - its shows the professional commitment of our people.

There is so much potential to expand this concept. Another excellent contribution from @ASLOAusArmy instructor Nitin Biswas.

Loving the focus Australia’s COVID task force coordinator, MAJGEN Frewen, is giving to logistics lately. In ref to reaching 80% vaccination across Australia: “mathematically we can do it, we have the supply and distribution nodes set up. All we need is Australians to sign up.”

We’re all aware of the STEM shortages in Australian Army. And developing the necessary skills and experience of our professional technical workforce will take time and personal investment - but is achievable. Read on to see what you can do (DPN access required for some links).

This October, Army will again align with National Safe Work Month under the theme “Safety: every job, every day.” Safety is not a paradox – it underpins readiness cove.army.gov.au/article/army-s…
