The @ChiefAusArmy raises some uncomfortable truisms about war and important points which require attention in the national debate. A new theory of the @AustralianArmy needs to strengthen national preparedness and bridge gaps between the govt and the whole of society and industry.

A sincere piece from @helmandproject, who reflects on the value of service: 'Soldiering has not somehow suppressed my compassion and humanity; it has sharpened them. It has not diluted my values; it has constructed them. It has not fractured my family; it has strengthened us.'

A timely and important report by Deputy Chief of Army MAJGEN Chris Smith. It highlights how the mix of new technologies and other factors are reshaping the role of land forces and sketches some ideas for how they might contribute to 🇦🇺’s all-domain defence in various scenarios.

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 In 'The implications of emerging changes in land warfare for the focused all-domain defence force', Deputy Chief of the @AustralianArmy Major General Chris Smith explores the impact of technological, social and geographic factors on land warfare. 📕 Read it now…

A short piece in which I explain how the @ChiefAusArmy is approaching key challenges faced by the @AustralianArmy and how the profession can adapt into the future. Thanks to @NSC_ANU's @Rory_Medcalf for hosting and moderating the Q&A.

'Stuart framed issues of jurisdiction, expertise and self-regulation as core challenges to the modern army profession. This problem set indicates a welcome return of discussions around traditional notions of war and peace', writes @marcuscbschultz. aspistrategist.org.au/australian-arm…



Great to work with @Dr_M_Davis on this article re: 🇦🇺's recently released Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordinance (GWEO) plan. Its objectives are sound, but its success depends on the real-world sequencing of milestones reached.

'GWEO must succeed against the odds to deliver capability at the time it is needed most. This will be a tall order if events do not wait for the GWEO ecosystem to fully mature,' write @Dr_M_Davis and @marcuscbschultz. aspistrategist.org.au/is-gweo-on-tar…



Agreed. Blending allied air mobility with the tactic of controlling the sea from the shore via drones and long-range precision fires is worth exploring. Let's add littoral lift to the equation to further enhance #landforces' ability to contribute in an island-based maritime war.

Great to have @BarbaraComstock, Co-Chair of the National Council on Election Integrity, at @ASPI_org today discussing how 🇦🇺, other US allies and the 🇺🇸 political system might fare under a possible 2nd Trump term. Thank you to @USSC's @AvaKalinauskas for making the opportunity.

Dr Ross Babbage highlights the broader benefits of #AUKUS Pillar I in a new @LowyInstitute report. E.g., AUKUS and 🇦🇺's SSN force uplifts the total allied no. of operational SSNs/SSGNs in the W. Pacific and Indian Ocean in the first 14 days of a crisis. lowyinstitute.org/publications/d…

Thanks @DefenceConnect for this detailed, referential treatment following my @ASPI_org article. 'The core premise of Schultz’s argument is the growing need for an increase in 🇦🇺’s already limited existing military resources to focus upon the Indian Ocean.' defenceconnect.com.au/geopolitics-an…


Though 🇦🇺 won’t have to meet potential mid-Indian Ocean security concerns alone, a higher allocation of defence resources to the region may be justified. Some options for 🇦🇺 defence planners to consider in my latest ahead of #IODS24
