  • Colonel Commandant Honour Board
    Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery Honorary Appointments Colonels Commandant Establishment The Honorary Colonel concept was ad hoc until 1955 when a Colonel Commandant was appointed in each State. This was promulgated as follows: “The Military Board has considered the scale of appointment, duties and privileges of Honorary Colonels / Colonels Commandant. Military Board Instruction 186 dated 28 Sep 56 on this subject has been issued.” Review and Revised Structure During 2016 - 2019 the RCC and HOR implemented a review of the role and support provided by the long-standing existing Colonels Commandant structure. The outcome saw a move away from geographically state based appointments and the adoption of a dedicated Colonel Command for each RAA Regiment. One of these CC will continue to be appointed concurrently as the Representative Colonel Commandant. RAA Colonels Commandant (15 June 1955 – 16 February 2019) Queensland 5 Aug 1958 – 22 Sep 1963 - Northern Command - BRIG CH Wilson, ED, RL 23 Sep 1963 – 15 Oct 1965 – Northern Command – MAJGEN HGF Harlock, CBE, RL 16 Oct 1965 - 31 Dec 1969 - Northern Command - MAJGEN DR Kerr CBE, ED, RL 1 Jan 1970 – 14 Mar 1974 – Northern Command - Brigadier CC Thomas ED, RL 15 Mar 1974 – 13 Apr 1978 - 1st Military District - Colonel GW Kerruish, ED, RL 14 Apr 1978 – 14 Mar 1982 - 1st Military District – BRIG CTW Dixon, RL 15 Mar 1982 – 16 July 1986 – 1st Military District – BRIG PJ Norton, RL 17 July 1986 - 16 July 1992 - 1st Military District - COL PC Jones (Retd) 17 Jul 1992 - 22 Jun 1996 - 1st Military

  • Pakistan's Army
    Pakistan’s Army: New Chief, traditional institutional interests Introduction A year after speculation about the names of those in the race for selection as the new Army Chief of Pakistan began, General Qamar Bajwa eventually took charge as Pakistan's 16th Chief of Army Staff on 29th of November 2016, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. Ordinarily, such appointments in the defence services of countries do not generate much attention, but the opposite holds true for Pakistan. Why this is so is evident from the popular aphorism, "while every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". In Pakistan, the army has a history of overshadowing political landscape - the democratically elected civilian government in reality has very limited authority or control over critical matters of national importance such as foreign policy and security. A historical background The military in Pakistan is not merely a human resource to guard the country against the enemy but has political wallop and opinions. To know more about the power that the army enjoys in Pakistan, it is necessary to examine the times when Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1947, both India and Pakistan were carved out of the British Empire. India became a democracy whereas Pakistan witnessed several military rulers and still continues to suffer from a severe civil- military imbalance even after 70 years of its birth. During India’s war of Independence, the British primarily recruited people from the Northwest of undivided India which post partition became Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the majority of the people recruited in the Pakistan Army during that period were from the Punjab martial races.
