  • Australia's Joint Approach Past, Present and Future
    Australia’s Joint Approach Past, Present and Future Joint Studies Paper Series No. 1 Tim McKenna & Tim McKay This page is intentionally blank AUSTRALIA’S JOINT APPROACH PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Tim McKenna & Tim McKay Foreword Welcome to Defence’s Joint Studies Paper Series, launched as we continue the strategic shift towards the Australian Defence Force (ADF) being a more integrated joint force. This series aims to broaden and deepen our ideas about joint and focus our vision through a single warfighting lens. The ADF’s activities have not existed this coherently in the joint context for quite some time. With the innovative ideas presented in these pages and those of future submissions, we are aiming to provoke debate on strategy-led and evidence-based ideas for the potent, agile and capable joint future force. The simple nature of ‘joint’—‘shared, held, or made by two or more together’—means it cannot occur in splendid isolation. We need to draw on experts and information sources both from within the Department of Defence and beyond; from Core Agencies, academia, industry and our allied partners. You are the experts within your domains; we respect that, and need your engagement to tell a full story. We encourage the submission of detailed research papers examining the elements of Australian Defence ‘jointness’—officially defined as ‘activities, operations and organisations in which elements of at least two Services participate’, and which is reliant upon support from the Australian Public Service, industry and other government agencies. This series expands on the success of the three Services, which have each published research papers that have enhanced ADF understanding and practice in the sea, land, air and space domains.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-08346-2 - Australia 1944–45: Victory in the Pacific Edited by Peter J . Dean Frontmatter More information A USTRALIA 1944–45 VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC The years 1944 and 1945 were pivotal in the development of Australia’s approach to strategy during the Second World War and beyond. While the main battlefront of the Pacific War had moved further north, Australian air, land and sea forces continued to make a significant contribution to the Allied campaign and towards achieving Australia’s strategic interests and objectives. In New Guinea, Australian operations secured territories and released men from service, while in Borneo a highly successful campaign was clouded by uncertain motives and questionable strategy. Australia 1944–45: Victory in the Pacific examines this complex and fascinating period, which has been largely under-represented in Australian military history. Peter Dean leads a team of internationally regarded military historians in assessing Australian, Allied and Japanese strategies, the conduct of the campaigns in the Southwest Pacific Area and Australia’s significant role in achieving victory. Thoroughly researched and generously illustrated, Australia 1944–45 is the compelling final instalment in Peter Dean’s Pacific War series. Peter J. Dean is an Associate Dean in the College of Asia-Pacific and a Senior Fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, at the Australian National University. He is a member of the editorial board of the Australian Army Journal and the journal Global War Studies and a Managing Editor of the journal Security Challenges. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-08346-2 - Australia 1944–45: Victory in the Pacific Edited by Peter J .
