Australian Defence Force Journal, issue no. 199

Publication: ADF Journal

This issue of the ADF Journal features speeches by each of the Service Chiefs to the Royal Australiam Navy's 2016 Sea Power Conference. They articulate how the ADF perceives its role in the future operating environment, reinforcing that the ADF's professional mastery of joint warfare as its primary mission.

We then have a selection of contributions, beginning with an article by Colonel Phillip Hoglin on the issue of religious diversity and secularism in the ADF. Squadron Leader Christopher McInnes then offers some insightful lessons for the ADF from Operation URGENT FURY in Grenada in 1983.

Alison Hickman and Rebecca Karlsson report on the findings of a Defence Science and Technology Group study into campaign planning and evaluation. Major Joseph Wheatley addresses the question of whether Australia faces a 'China choice'. This issue concludes with an article by Major Leon Young on strategic thinking, presenting some of the work undertaken during his CDF Fellowship in 2015.

Finally, we have reviews of East Timor Intervention: a retrospective on INTERFET, Hunter Killer, Ghost Fleet, Warrior Elite, Before Jutland and Stretcher-Bearers.
