Even Introduction when these precepts are followed, if it is to be widely read and applied, it must be “memorable,” as I.B. Holley explained o paraphrase an old saying, “If you like doctrine in his classic essay on US Air Force doctrine: and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.” The adage captures the essence of …the way we articulate doctrine is flawed…our the idea that making doctrine is a messy process doctrinal manuals consist largely of generalizations. that, if seen, could put you off from ever read- They offer page after page of abstractions. Unfortunately, Ting it again. This brief article argues that, like many other abstractions don’t stick in the mind as well as real-life Western doctrine processes, recent Royal Canadian Air Force illustrations or historical examples. I contend that pay- (RCAF) doctrine has been made more like sausage than the ing more attention to the format in which doctrine is rational doctrine process described in writings on the topic.

  • Full Report for Australia's Maritime Strategy
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Australia’s Maritime Strategy Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade June 2004 Canberra Chairman’s Foreword The rise of non-state actors, failing states, terrorism and the threat of weapons of mass destruction have caused nations to review their national security objectives and strategies. Australia is not alone in this challenge. At the same time, Australia must plan and prepare against conventional threats to its security. It is essential, therefore, that Australia’s defence and national security strategies are modern and flexible enough to deal with all contingencies. The inquiry into Australia’s maritime strategy has provided an opportunity to examine the relevance and effectiveness of our defence objectives and strategies. Maritime strategies are significant in military planning because they provide the means to apply power flexibly over a range of contingencies and areas. Modern maritime strategy involves air, sea and land forces operating jointly to influence events in the littoral together with traditional blue water maritime concepts of sea denial and sea control. The role and influence of maritime strategies are therefore a significant feature of credible military strategies. The inquiry found that there was the need for a comprehensive national security strategy (NSS) which would articulate all the elements that the Australian Government has at its disposal to address issues of national security. A national security strategy would address more than just issues of defence. It would address Australia’s key interests such as economic, business, diplomatic, trade and environmental. The NSS should indicate where our military strategy fits within this ‘grand strategy.’ Australia’s interests are not just limited to our territory but stretch throughout the region and globally.

Principal supervisor, Professor Baogang He, Alfred Deakin Professor and Personal Chair in International Relations, guided me in a field new to me and challenged my assumptions. Associate Professor Bob Breen, as a military academic and author greatly assisted my thesis presentation and helped me draw out military arguments. Associate Professor Chengxin Pan set me on a security practitioner reporting path. I thank the 94 security practitioners who allowed me to record their experiences and insights into the defence and security relationship between Japan and Australia. Everyone considered that this relationship was important to improve mutual security, and to all, I owe a debt of gratitude. Their testimony gave credibility and authenticity to my research, and I offer this present thesis as a record of their places in Australian and Japanese security and military history. iv CONTRIBUTION STATEMENT Research requires the contribution of a collaborative team. The contribution of the following is gratefully acknowledged. • Deakin Supervisory team: Professor Baogang He, Associate Professor Bob Breen, and Associate Professor Chengxin Pan professionally provided welcome and valued direction, assistance, encouragement, and constructive criticism. • Examination Team: The examiners providing valuable input that made a material difference to the final thesis.
