'We do not have a systemic approach to preparing Defence logisticians; a good training system is present ... but there is no agreed upon model to take the most junior military and public servant logistician to senior appointments.' logisticsinwar.com/2018/06/20/how…

If you'd like to write an article for an operation now twenty-five years ago, get in touch!

In one month it will be the 25th anniversary of the INTERFET mission - the largest ADF deployment since WW2. I'll post articles on the operation over the next month - starting with a summary of lessons - maybe learned? logisticsinwar.com/2019/10/18/wha…

With the 25th anniversary of the INTERFET mission coming, below starts a series on why the ADF was underprepared - based on seven years of research. Shows how preparedness problems metastacise, and the consequences of complacency. logisticsinwar.com/2024/09/08/log…

The joint approach became increasingly appealing because it offered the potential for resource savings ...productivity and efficiency gains could be – and ultimately were – seen an opportunity for Defence to reinvest efficiencies .. logisticsinwar.com/2024/09/17/cap…

'[T]he East Timor deployment tells us much about how modern military organisations prepare and subsequently act when crises surprise us all. We ignore the lessons of Op Warden at our peril.' logisticsinwar.com/2024/09/19/ope… via Logistics In War
