  • Chapter 3: Australian Force Structure, Interoperability and Intelligence
    3 Australian force structure, interoperability and intelligence Introduction 3.1 The Australian Defence Force (ADF) remains primarily structured for operations in defence of Australia1, yet it is increasingly involved in coalition operations with US forces, supporting Australia’s wider interests and objectives beyond our immediate neighbourhood. An ongoing challenge for the ADF is to determine the most effective way it can contribute both to potential operations in Defence of Australia, and the increasingly more demanding operations beyond our immediate neighbourhood. 3.2 The moderate levels of conventional threat in Australia’s immediate region, linked with the low likelihood of a conventional attack on Australia, compared to the high threats faced by the ADF when deployed to locations like Iraq and Afghanistan raises questions about the suitability of Australia’s force structure. Evidence to the inquiry is divided over whether adjustments to force structure, as a result of coalition operations a long way from Australia, are justified. 3.3 A number of force structure determinants are emerging from Australia’s recent involvement in coalition operations. The key determinant for conducting coalition operations remains, however, the ability to be interoperable with our allies in a range of key areas. The importance of interoperability to ADF operations will be examined and the key issues raised in evidence will be discussed. 1 Australian Government, Defence 2000 – Our Future Defence Force, p. XI. 24 AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE RELATIONS WITH THE US 3.4 The final section of the chapter examines the significance of intelligence sharing between Australia and the US. The discussion will explore the key benefits and disadvantages of our intelligence sharing arrangements.

  • Management of Operations at Pine Gap
    The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability Management of Operations at Pine Gap Desmond Ball, Bill Robinson and Richard Tanter Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability Special Report 24 November 2015 Summary The management of operations at the Pine Gap facility has become increasingly complex as the functions of the station have expanded, the number of agencies involved has grown, and the demands of a wider range of ‘users’ or ‘customers’ for the provision of ‘actionable intelligence’ in near real-time have increased markedly. Operations at Pine Gap are now completely integrated, in terms of American and Australian, civilian and military, and contractor personnel working together in the Operations Room; the organisational structure for managing operations, which embodies concerted collaboration of multiple US agencies, including the National Reconnaissance Office, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Service Cryptologic Agencies and the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA); and functionally with respect to signals intelligence (SIGINT) collected by the geosynchronous SIGINT satellites controlled by Pine Gap, communications intelligence collected by foreign satellite/communications satellite (FORNSAT/COMSAT) interception systems at Pine Gap, and imagery and geospatial intelligence produced by the NGA, as well as missile launch detection and tracking data. Conceptualising the extraordinary growth and expansion of operations at Pine Gap is not easy – by the nature of the facility. Externally, it is evident in the increase in size of the two main operations buildings within the high security compound – areas quite distinct from the separate part of the facility that deals with administration matters. The total area of floor space in the Operations Buildings has increased five-fold since 1970 to more than 20,000 m2.

Agility—the early days © ACT Companion Dog Club Inc 2018 *Recognised Hydrotherapy provider by Petplan* Canine hydrotherapy involves the use of swimming and underwater treadmills to help dogs recover following surgery or injury, and for pets with more long term mobility problems. Conditions we can treat with hydrotherapy at our facility include: • Arthritis • Hip and elbow dysplasia • Cruciate ligament rupture • Patella luxation • Degenerative myelopathy (formerly known as CDRM) • Spinal injuries including recovery from fractures and IV disc rupture (commonly known as a slipped disc) • Spondylosis - spinal arthritis • Mobility problems related to age • Obesity control The benefits of hydrotherapy are: • Decreased pain perception • Decreased pain and inflammation • Feeling of wellbeing due to release of endorphins • Relaxation of muscle tension and/or muscle spasm • Reduction of oedema (swelling) • Increased range of movement • Non weight bearing - it is easier and more comfortable to move in water so animals often gain confidence • Support for weakened or spinal injury dogs • Increased muscle strength • Improved muscle patterning and recruitment helping to improve gait patterns (reduction in lameness) • Improved cardiovascular fitness • Potentially earlier return to normal activities • Improved quality of life Contact us to see how our

  • 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.
