  • ADF Capability Snapshot 2015: Army

    ADF Capability Snapshot 2015: Army

    STRATEGIC STRATEGIC INSIGHTS ADF capability snapshot 2015 Part 3—Army 100 Andrew Davies This paper surveys the capabilities of the Australian Army and is an update of previous reviews in 2008 and 2010. Other papers in this series update the corresponding reports on Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy and a future paper will examine C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities. Army capability summary The main focus of the Australian Army over the past 15 years has been on sustaining combat, training, stabilisation and peacekeeping operations in our near region and the Middle East and Afghanistan theatres. The demands of the ADF’s operational tempo have driven a major rethinking of the structure of the Army under Plan Beersheba. Now well advanced, the end state will be three essentially similar brigades, which will make rotational deployments easier to manage and sustain. Like the RAAF and the RAN, described in previous reports in this series, the Army needs a major recapitalisation of its equipment.

Photo courtesy Department of Defence. November 2015 2 ADF capability snapshot 2015: Part 3—Army The replacement of the Army’s fleet of vehicles is now underway. The requirement for protected mobility for deployed forces has increased as the sophistication and capabilities of both contemporary militaries and non-state actors have increased. Soft-skinned vehicles are particularly vulnerable to even small improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

    Project LAND 400: Defining the Army 126

    STRATEGIC STRATEGIC INSIGHTS Project LAND 400: defining the army 126 Ben Coleman Spend enough time in a queue for coffee at Defence’s Russell Offices and you’re sure to hear some Army folk complaining about how the land forces are chronically short-changed for modern equipment compared to the Air Force and Navy. But a glance at Chapter 6 of the 2016 Integrated Investment Program shows that they’ll need to find something else to grizzle about.1 Defence’s most comprehensive, and expensive, package of land force modernisation is underway, at a cost of $50–70 billion.2 Nine complementary programs cover every area of land warfare, from personal equipment for the soldiers through to unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibious craft, special forces helicopters, digital networks, surface-to-air missiles and long-range battlefield rocket systems. Moreover, those programs are in addition to Navy and Air Force projects, such as sea and air lift, that directly support the land force. Among these programmatic riches, the jewel in the crown is Project Land 400, through which Defence intends to replace the Army’s fleets of armoured cavalry vehicles (ASLAVs) and M113 armoured personnel carriers (APCs). According to Defence, the project will deliver the Army’s next generation of armoured fighting vehicles, with the firepower, protection and mobility to defeat increasingly lethal and adaptive adversaries well into the future.

There has been a significant rise in the use of UGVs, artificial intelligence, virtual training and survivability equipment. Also, Active Protection Systems (APS) are being developed in lighter, cheaper and more accurate forms, supporting their case as a popular solution for the future battlespace. With all of the aforementioned in mind, the deployment of MBTs is still seen as a necessity by most in spite of climbing demand for light protected mobility.

Cordesman & Kleiber: The Asian Military Balance 6/26/06 Page ii Introduction The rise of China as a major power has triggered a new debate over the military balance in Asia, but it is only one of the trends shaping regional military forces. Taiwan’s faltering military development has helped destabilize the Taiwan Straits. Japan i s reasserting its strategic role in the region, causing tension with both China and South Korea. North Korea’s persistence in creating nuclear forces is changing the balance on the Korean Peninsula, as are cuts in US forces. The shift in US forces from Oki nawa to Guam, and increased US reliance on long -range strike forces is also affecting the balance. There are fewer signs of significant shifts in the balance in Southeast Asia. The major change in the threat has been the emergence of transnational threats from neo -Salafi Islamist extremists, and continuing internal ethnic, sectarian, and tribal tensions. The main concern is internal security and not the military balance. In the case of South Asia, Indian and Pakistan continue to build -up their nuclear and m issile forces, and India is seeking to expand its strategic reach in the Indian Ocean area.
