  • Thesis Title
    No Release: A Phenomenological Study of Australian Army Veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq Post-Military Robin Purvis Bachelor of Social Work A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Social Science Abstract This study explores the lived post-discharge experience of seven combat veterans of Australia’s Middle East wars. The study has identified there is academic and popular recognition, interest in and knowledge about the process of socialisation into the military. However, there is a noticeable gap in material that explores the process of socialisation out of the military. Eighteen in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with the seven participants, some ranging over a twelve-month period. A phenomenological, interpretivist approach was taken using current literature, and input from military advisors, to help contextualise the participants’ stories. Three themes emerged from the study as relevant to understanding the process of transition out of the military: the militarisation of identity, the impact of combat exposure as more deeply embedding the militarised identity and the challenges to this identity in negotiating the liminal space between military world and civilian world. The study identified that the challenges these veterans individually face on exiting the military, and the role their society has, collectively, in assisting their re-entry into the civilian world is not well understood. The study highlights that as well as understanding of the personal challenges these veterans face, the context of social recognition and response is a critical factor in their post-military adjustment in transition. Cultural dissonance, absence of place, unwitting stigma and marginalisation, and societal disavowal were characteristic of the experience of these men in their journey of transition from their military world to achieving re-assimilation in the civilian world.

  • The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard John C
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-04365-7 - The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard John C. Blaxland Frontmatter More information The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard is the first critical examination of Australia’s post-Vietnam military operations. Spanning the 35 years between the election of Gough Whitlam and the defeat of John Howard, it shows how the Australian Army recovered and developed after the Vietnam War. John Blaxland explores the ‘casualty cringe’ felt by political leaders following the war and how this influenced subsequent operations. He contends that the Australian Army’s rehabilitation involved common individual and collective training; reaffirmation of the Army’s regimental and corps identities; and the Army’s ties with allies, regional partners and Australian society. He shows how the Army regained its confidence to play leading roles in East Timor, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, and to contribute to combat operations further afield. At a time when the Australian Army’s future strategic role and capabilities are the subject of much debate, and as the ‘Asian Century’ gathers pace and the commitment in Afghanistan draws to an end, this work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the modern context of Australia’s military land force. John Blaxland is a Senior Fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, School of International, Political and Strategic Studies, in the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University. His other publications include: Organising an Army (1989), Signals, Swift and Sure (1999), Information-era Manoeuvre (2002), Strategic Cousins (2006) and Revisiting Counterinsurgency (2006).

  • Projection to East Timor
    Chapter 11 Projection to East Timor In August 1942 in New Guinea during the Second World War and in 1966 in Vietnam an accumulation of risks resulted in a small number of Australian troops facing several thousand well-equipped, well-trained and more experienced enemy troops. Fortunately, climate, terrain and the resilience of junior leaders and small teams, as well as effective artillery support in 1966, offset the numerical and tactical superiority of their opponents. Australian troops prevailed against the odds. If either of these two tactical tipping points had gone the other way, there would have been severe strategic embarrassment for Australia. There could have been public pressure for a change in Government and investigations into the competence of the Australian armed forces. For 48 hours in September 1999, renegade members of the Indonesian military forces and their East Timorese auxiliaries provoked members of an Australian vanguard of the International ForceÐEast Timor (INTERFET) in the streets of the East Timor capital, Dili. Indonesians outnumbered Australians, who carried only limited quantities of ammunition.1 On the night of 21 September, a 600-strong East Timorese territorial battalion confronted a 40-strong Australian vehicle checkpoint on Dili's main road. Good luck, superior night-fighting technology, the presence of armoured vehicles and discipline under pressure resulted in another historic tactical tipping point going Australia's way. Had there been an exchange of fire that night, there would have been heavy casualties on both sides and several hours of confused fighting between Australian, Indonesian and East Timorese territorial troops. There was also potential for Indonesian and Australian naval vessels to have clashed as Australian ships rushed to deliver ammunition to Australian troops, as well as for Australian transport aircraft and helicopters to have been attacked at Dili airport.
