Summary/Abstract |
Between its inception in 1901 and the beginning of the First World War in 1914, the Australian
Army (or the Commonwealth Military Forces as they were then known) underwent two
periods of extensive reform aimed at creating a modern effective force out of what had been
inherited from the colonial governments. In both instances the reforms were ambitious
and bold, but they were also severely troubled by the limitations imposed by government,
insufficient resources and a fundamental problem of creating an army from an almost entirely
part-time soldiery. This article was originally presented as a paper at the Chief of Army
Military History Conference in September 2011. It was first published in the proceedings of
that conference and is reproduced courtesy of the Australian Army History Unit.

Summary/Abstract |
T
he Australian Army currently conducts individual training for soldiers,
non-commissioned officers, warrant officers and officers in two forms: 'All
Corps Training' and 'Corps Specific Training'. As my authorities extend
only over the All Corps Soldier and Officer Training Continuums, it is there
that I will focus my encapsulation of that aspect of Army's professional military
education.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the history of the formation of the Australian 1st Armoured Division for
use in both the Middle East and the defence of the Australian mainland during the Second World
War, from the intellectual and policy developments leading to approval by the War Cabinet to
the equipment, manning and training issues experienced in trying to raise a formation in a
short period. It also addresses the purpose of the formation given the circumstance of the time,
and the creation and continuation of the armoured tradition in the Australian Army. It finally
looks at the way the unit was disbanded and the follow-on effects to Australian armour, briefly
addressing the impact of the armoured vehicle in Australia's primary operating environment.

Summary/Abstract |
Field training time in the Australian Army is a precious commodity. It is also unlikely to
increase in the near future. Fighting echelon units must examine ways of improving their
training yield if they are to improve their combat effectiveness. This paper examines three
ways that fighting echelon units can improve their training yield. First, by using regimental
training to turn their junior leaders into better collective trainers. Second, by using early
evaluation of whole-task training to improve training efficiency. Third, by increasing the
objectivity of training evaluation. Cognisant of the resource constraints facing units today,
the paper aims to offer pragmatic options that do not simply demand doing more with less.
Where options requiring greater effort are detailed, the costs are made clear, but so are
the benefits.

Summary/Abstract |
The focus of the Army Reserve has shifted from supplying deployable units for large-scale
conventional warfare to providing individuals and small groups to support the Army's current
operations. The requirement for soldiers to be easily integrated into Regular units has caused
us to increasingly train, treat and manage reservists identically to their full-time counterparts.
This is ineffective because it fails to accept the real and important differences between Regular
and Reserve service. Reservists should actually be seen as sharing more characteristics with
volunteers than part-time employees. The strategies used and many of the lessons learnt in the
voluntary sector could be applied to increase the Reserve's capability and performance.
