Australian Defence Force Journal, issue no.200

Publication: ADF Journal

Issue No. 200 of the Australian Defence Force Journal is a commemorative achievement coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Journal's reintroduction in 1976.

The Board notes that it is refocusing the Journal more closely on the 'profession of arms' in Australia, and the Chair noting the breadth of articles in this issue, on a range of topical subjects and with contributions from relatively junior to quite senior ADF officers. There is also a highly recommended article from Professor David Lovell at ADFA.

The Board has awarded the 'best article' prize to Captain Denna Fryer for her article on 'Women, peace and security', in which she argues that positive discrimination measures in the ADF may do more harm than good in the pursuit of equality between men and women in the Services. In addition to featuring as the lead article, she was awarded a certificate signed by CDF and the Secretary.

This issue was published in online format only.
