In this edition of the Australian Army Journal we are pleased to feature a collection of articles which challenge the present by identifying problems from a variety of perspectives and offer innovative solutions. The topics cover a broad spectrum of Army capabilities from people, organisation and doctrine to training, command and support. These are the components of land power to which every Army member can contribute and which deserve continual inquiry and debate. However, it is important that we do more than challenge the present. These articles also debate the future by representing the ideas within Army’s Futures Statement Accelerated Warfare, which is characterised by the complexity of multi- domain environments, emerging technology and adaptability. No more clearly are these ideas seen than in our leading article by Dr Charles Knight. The author, a veteran of both British and Omani armies, questions Army’s readiness for urban operations and discusses the moral challenge of civilian casualties in a media-dominated battle space. Dr Knight offers the reader a series of questions to prompt further thinking on the subject and invites contributions for a future urban operations themed publication. As a fitting segue, Captain James Lewis presents an analysis of urban operations in the southern Philippines city of Marawi, highlighting the need for Army to develop individual skills and focus on small, agile combined armed teams if it intends to fight the intense and chaotic battles of the urban environment. In the next two articles, Lieutenant Colonel Kane Wright and Colonel Richard Barrett explore the efficiency of innovation in the modernisation process. 5 Australian Army Journal Editorial Autumn 2019, Volume XV, No 1 Lieutenant Colonel Wright examines the financial challenges of sustaining a technically aspirant force, and Colonel Barrett proposes a new activity which brings together industry developers and soldiers in a collaborative exercise, developing and testing equipment with immediate feedback to the designers. Addressing the capability elements of people, organisation and command, Dr Jason Mazanov offers an engaging study on the ways we respond to a workforce that has experienced toxic leadership. Dr Mazanov, an organisational behavioural psychologist, applies the methodology of business ethics to propose policy frameworks that can anticipate and treat the legacy of damaging leadership experiences in Defence. Contributing to the area of doctrine and training, Lieutenant Colonel Jim Sinclair introduces the reader to Army’s newest OPFOR construction—the Decisive Action Training Environment, known as DATE. Contextualised against a comprehensive review of Army training adversary doctrine since 1948, the author positions DATE as a sophisticated construct which can be continuously updated to reflect real-world operations. The last two articles concern the essential support of transport but on very different scales. Captain James Barrett proposes that the challenge of patrolling in harsh environments be met by a reintroduction of camel transportation for Regional Force Surveillance Units, Special Forces and international commitments. Lastly, we feature a group of researchers—Flight Lieutenant Kirsty Wright, Commander Mark Page, Jasmine Connell and Janet Chaseling—who were recipients of the Army Research Scheme grants program and whose report evaluates new methods of transporting and preserving samples of DNA used to identify military casualties. In this edition, we also present six book reviews on topics that range from leadership to the social history and human geography of armies, including accounts of Australian military involvement in France in World War I and Papua New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s. Finally, we would like to congratulate Major Andrew Maher on winning the 2018 Chauvel Essay Prize for his article ‘The Middle Eastern Advisory Competition: The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force’, which appeared in the Australian Army Journal, Volume XIV, Number 1. 6 Editorial Australian Army Journal Autumn 2019, Volume XV, No 1 As the AARC expands its engagement with the research community, the Australian Army Journal continues to play an important role in both representing Army members and communicating Army ideas to the world. I am continually encouraged by the breadth of interest in Army publications and I commend this edition of the Australian Army Journal to you. 7 Australian Army Journal Autumn 2019, Volume XV, No 1 8 Urban Warfare Capability: A Background to the Australian Army Journal Challenges and a Call for Professional Debate Autumn 2019, Volume XV, No 1 Urban Warfare Capability: A Background to the Challenges and a Call for Professional Debate Dr Charles Knight Abstract This article invites readers to contribute to a professional debate about the capability required for urban operations: does Australia have it—and does Australia need it? In exploring what that might mean, it starts from an accepted position that urban operations are increasingly likely. It examines in some detail the nature of the limitations imposed on military operations by urban terrain, which

  • Tunnel Operations in the Israel Defense Forces: Adapting The
    Original Manuscript Armed Forces & Society 1-21 ª The Author(s) 2020 Tunnel Operations in the Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0095327X20924040 Israel Defense Forces: journals.sagepub.com/home/afs Adapting the Warrior Ethos to Post-Heroic Conflict Nehemia Stern1 , Uzi Ben-Shalom1, Niv Gold2, Corinne Berger1, Avishai Antonovsky3, and Dvir Peleg1 Abstract This study presents an empirically grounded account of tunnel combat operations in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) within the context of “post-heroic” warfare. Cur- rent scholarship on “post-heroism” has viewed the technological and professional standards of contemporary military conflicts as distancing the individual combatant from the modern battlefield. Little attention has been given however to the ways in which soldiers themselves experience and adapt to post-heroic conditions. Findings based on in-depth semistructured interviews with 17 IDF tunnel combatants show these soldiers actively reinterpreting the strategic importance placed on distancing the warrior from the battlefield. This exploratory article suggests that an individual “warrior ethos” still resonates amid the professional and technological contours of post-heroic (underground) conflicts. By presenting a novel account of contemporary tunnel warfare from the perspective of the combatants themselves, this research sheds new light on the different personal dimensions that impact post-heroic military operations. 1 Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ariel University, Israel 2 Clinical Branch, Department of Mental Health, Medical Corps, Israel Defense Force, Israel 3 Mental Fitness Branch, Department of Mental Health, Medical Corps, Israel Defense Forces, Israel Corresponding Author: Nehemia Stern, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ariel University, Ariel 40700, Israel.

  • J Emmer Thesis
    COMPARISON OF NARRATIVES: AMERICAN VETERANS OF THE VIETNAM WAR AND OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM By Janal J. Emmer At the heart of every person is a story, an account of a significant life event that is often hidden within the memory. When memories are written down, the past becomes a story, a style, a piece of literature. In this form, the personal narrative has two functions: a memory is information storage, communicating events across time and space; and second, memory recorded in a visual format allows people to examine it in a different way (Goff 59). The personal narrative itself floats somewhere between nonfiction and fiction, and finds a home amid the short story, novel, and autobiography. However, it resists these genres because memoirs generally lack a plot, climax, and ending. According to Don Ringnalda, in Fighting and Writing the Vietnam War, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a memoir and a first-person novel because the lines separating fact, fiction, memory, and autobiography become blurred (Ringnalda 74). The personal narrative also negotiates with the historical document. Memoirs have sometimes been considered neighbors of history, and historians and memoirists have also been grouped together from a literary perspective. The testimony provided in personal narratives enters the historical domain when it provides information about specific historical events, but poses problems for historians because the elements cannot meet the test of historical accuracy (Hynes 15; Goff 186). According to Samuel Hynes in The Soldiers’ Tale: Bearing Witness to Modern War, “Personal narratives are not history; they speak each with its own voice, as history does not, and they find their own shape, which are not the shapes of history.
