The Australian Army Research Centre is interested in the ‘ Transformation of Land Power ’ as a topic that encompasses a range of domestic and global tasks for Army. This article reflects on how transformative the Australian Army’s modern application of land power is, when viewed against the lessons of one of our deployments to the Middle East. I recently became aware of Dr Albert Palazzo’s book, which provided an analysis of the Australian Army’s role in the 2003 Iraq War. The book was eventually titled, …

In this Occasional Paper , Dr Albert Palazzo provides an introduction to the concept of land warfare, including its nature, character and how it adapts to the evolving strategic environment. Intended as a primer, this work aims to provide a start-point for a career-long journey of study and reflection on the topic. Occasional Paper 14: Land Warfare, an introduction … Land Warfare, an …

The use of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in recent conflicts has entrenched the perception of these elements as a direct-action tool capable of providing decisive effects. Concomitantly, there has been an increasing reliance on technological solutions to generate asymmetry against existing threats. This Occasional Paper suggests that as the war-peace paradigm is replaced by a more fluid competition-conflict spectrum, SOF must adjust to a campaign approach that seeks to leverage the poles of low and high …

Introduction The effectiveness of land power is underpinned by its supply chain. Without an efficient supply chain, Army’s ability to maintain effectiveness in established locations, and when projected forward, is at risk. Therefore, it is imperative that the Army looks to enhance its ability to deal with situations where the supply chain is compromised, either due to geographical dislocation, replacement part shortages, or backlog. The adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as part of the supply chain …
