  • Anzac Parade and Our Changing Narrative of Memory1
    Anzac Parade and our changing narrative of memory1 IAN A. DEHLSEN Abstract Australian historian Ken Inglis once called Canberra’s Anzac Parade ‘Australia’s Sacred Way’. A quasi-religious encapsulation of the military legends said to define our national character. Yet, it remains to be discussed how the memorials on Anzac Parade have been shaped by these powerful and pervasive narratives. Each memorial tells a complex story, not just about the conflicts themselves but also the moral qualities the design is meant to invoke. The Anzac Parade memorials chart the changing perceptions of Australia’s military experience through the permanence of bronze and stone. This article investigates how the evolving face of Anzac Parade reflects Australia’s shifting relationship with its military past, with a particular emphasis on how shifting social, political and aesthetic trends have influenced the memorials’ design and symbolism. It is evident that the guiding narratives of Anzac Parade have slowly changed over time. The once all-pervasive Anzac legends of Gallipoli have been complemented by multicultural, gender and other thematic narratives more attuned to contemporary values and perceptions of military service. [This memorial] fixes a fleeting incident in time into the permanence of bronze and stone. But this moment in our history—fifty years ago—is typical of many others recorded not in monuments, but in the memories of our fighting men told and retold … until they have passed into the folklore of our people and into the tradition of our countries.2 These were the words of New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister J.R. Marshall at the unveiling of the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra, in the winter of 1968.

  • Land Force Reserves and Homeland Security: Lessons Learned from the Australian Experience
    Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Winter 2004, Vol. 7, Issue 2 LAND FORCE RESERVES AND HOMELAND SECURITY: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCE Jeffrey Grey, Australian Defence Force Academy Historians are usually wary of the ‘lessons learned’ approach to the past, an approach that military organisations generally find congenial, even natural. Years ago, Sir Michael Howard pointed to the irritation of military people, led to believe that history offered a sure and steady guide to future directions, on discovering that historians are fickle creatures. Having looked for 'wise teachers who will use their knowledge of the past to explain the present and guide him as to the future', writes Howard, what does our eager, would-be uniformed student find instead? Workmen, busily engaged in tearing up what he had regarded as a perfectly decent highway; doing their best to discourage him from proceeding along it at all; and warning him, if he does, that the surface is temporary, that they have no idea when it will be completed, nor where it leads, and that he proceeds at his own risk.1 This is the equivalent, in terms of the information superhighway perhaps, of a web page permanently under construction, or in conference terms, of a Powerpoint presentation without end. In attempting to draw lessons from Australian use of reserve forces in recent deployments overseas, and the implications for homeland defence that arise from them, a number of qualifications and caveats have to be made. Indeed, until very recently much of the evidence on which extrapolations might be based is of a negative kind, making a ‘lessons learned’ approach even more problematic than the 1 Michael Howard, ‘The Lessons of History’, in Michael Howard, The Lessons of History, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992, 12.

  • 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).

    Meeting the Needs of War: The Australian Army and the Vietnam War Albert Palazzo Introduction On 8 March 1965, as South Vietnam neared collapse under pressure from the communist North and its local Viet Cong proxies, the Marines of the Ninth US Marine Expeditionary Force came ashore at Danang. They represented the first combat troops the United States committed to what would become the Vietnam War as well as a change in mission from one of advising to fighting. A month later, soldiers from the US Army 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) arrived at Bien Hoa near Saigon. From this initial commitment would grow a force that at its peak would number more than half a million US military personnel.1 In response, the North Vietnam leader, Ho Chi Minh, decreed a new military service law that expanded the North’s Army by nearly 300,000 soldiers. Australia’s limited military resources meant it would only ever be a junior partner in the war and that it was up to the United States to bear nearly all the burden. Yet, while Australia’s military strength was miniscule, when compared to the might of the United States and to their Vietnamese opponent, Australia exhibited an enthusiasm for the war all out of proportion to its contribution. This was because what drove Australia’s decision to support an escalation of the war was not solely consideration of South Vietnam’s survival. Rightly, Australia’s political leaders saw the crisis as an opportunity to advance their own national interests. Consequently, a critical consideration for the Australian Government was the perception its support engendered in Washington.

  • 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.
