http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/sep1999/chin-s24.shtml

Extractions: 24 September 1999 Use this version to print In the midst of frenzied diplomatic efforts by the Australian government to deploy its military into East Timor, President Jiang Zemin landed at Melbourne airport on September 6 to begin the first visit by a Chinese head-of-state. Though the United Nations East Timor ballot on autonomy could be raised in the future as a precedent for a similar intervention in Taiwan or Tibet, China proved to be extremely supportive of the dispatch of thousands of Australian troops to the former Portuguese colony. When the UN Security Council did vote on September 13 after Indonesia's acceptance of a UN force, China not only endorsed Australia's position, but also, after initial hesitation, agreed to its request for aggressive rules of engagement. China did not lend any support to Indonesian and Malaysian demands that Australia, still perceived in Asia as having links to the European colonial past, not lead the force. China Daily China's stance on East Timor is all the more note-worthy considering the September 2 speech delivered by Jiang Zemin in Bangkok, only days before arriving in Australia. In the keynote address of his state tour to Thailand, Jiang made a vitriolic attack on the NATO war against Yugoslavia and US foreign policy in general, saying:

http://www.wsws.org/news/1998/sep1998/indo-s08.shtml

Extractions: 8 September 1998 The Australian government, in the midst of an election campaign, is taking steps to prepare the armed forces to act quickly if the Habibie regime in neighbouring Indonesia calls for help with unrest generated by its food crisis. A spokesman for the Australian Defence Department confirmed to the World Socialist Web Site that personnel are being readied to assist the Jakarta government if requested. He refused to provide further details beyond the remarks attributed to a "senior official" by the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday. Later, in response to a written list of questions, the spokesman reversed himself and refused to confirm anything. According to the newspaper report, the hours of duty and crew leave arrangements for naval ships and Hercules aircraft are being monitored in the expectation that a request may come soon from Indonesia. "We are thinking about it [a possible request] and we are providing for it by keeping a sharp eye on our defence priorities," the senior official was quoted as saying.

Scenarios For Australian Military Contributions To The Probable War In Iraq

http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/rn/2002-03/03rn12.htm

Extractions: 26 September 2002 Introduction In the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, the US and its coalition partners developed a containment strategy designed to curtail Iraq's military adventurism and to force Saddam Hussein to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq's development of Weapons of Mass Destruction. As was evidenced by his recent speech to the UN General Assembly, President Bush has set in motion diplomatic and military preparations for an end to Saddam Hussein's regime. Detailed background to the UN-US-Iraq situation is contained in the e-brief ' Iraqi Precipice Nevertheless, the almost overwhelming momentum for war against Iraq suggests that a non-military solution will be hard to find. In this overheated environment, decisions about what sort of contribution Australia may eventually make to the war could be influenced by factors other than the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) strictly logical assessments. Furthermore, in the absence of a broad coalition, such as was forged for the 1991 Gulf War, the US may seek visible and substantial contributions from willing countries such as Australia. This could translate into much more generous logistic and other support than would otherwise have been the case and thus open a wider range of military options to the Government.

Extractions: These were written to clarify the position of Australian troops who felt rejected and stigmatised by being allocated the task of 'mopping up' the isolated pockets of Japanese forces by-passed by the McArthur. Nimitz island hopping campaign that led to Tokyo. The Australians had shown their mastery of both the enemy and the jungle environment and were disappointed at being left out of the proposed, eventual assault on the Japanese homeland. They were called upon to eliminate and/or neutralise the vast hordes of well equipped Japanese troops and to restore freedom to the captive peoples of the Pacific Nations. Once committed, the Australians felt they had a point to make and the stories of savage and heroic battles fill the pages of our record of the mandate campaigns of the South Pacific during WWII. Trained Australian soldiers are second to none and were able to demonstrate their ability.

SERIES 1 After a drought on Series 1 info, some photos and stories are emerging from "old 'n bold" members of the Australian Army. An Australian Army vehicle appraisal team used a Series 1 Land-Rover for an extended period, covering 100,000+ miles in service from 1949 to the late 1950's. ( More details at ANZACsteel website ). The success of that Series 1 (ARN 153-952) surely must have helped when the Series 2 Land-Rover underwent tests for the 1958 supply contract. Also, some UK MOD 88" G.S. units were in use at Queensland air bases in the 1950's... One or two Series 1 units were modified and upholstered for ceremonial use by the Australian Army. REMLR hears that some dark blue 107" utility body Land-Rovers were used at the R.A.N. Diving Ctr, Port Jackson... Some UK MOD 88" G.S. units accompanied the early bomb testing in South Australia... The New Zealand Army used Series 1 units extensively at a time when the Australian Army used the Austin Champ (1950's). The New Zealand Army initially used Series 1 units in their Vietnam War effort.

"We are confident of producing a vehicle that will meet the Australian Army's reliability testing requirements and will prove to be an export winner for Australia.

Extractions: Sabretache, The Journal of the Military Historical Society of Australia Return to Book Reviews MHSA Home page Subscription and Back copy Information SABRETACHE Vol. XXXVII - Jan/Mar 1996 - No.1 - page 44. This book is portrayed as a "landmark [which] explores the richness and diversity of Australian Military History", and it certainly goes a long way to achieving that lofty claim. With an impressive directory of contributors, the more than 800 individual entries cover a widely diverse range of subjects related to Australian military history. The alphabetically arranged entries vary in length and detail, from a few lines to several pages. While the majority of these are concerned with specific people, places or items of equipment, there are also 36 lengthy thematic entries, such as "Aboriginal Armed Resistance to White Invasion" and "Military History and Historians". All contain a wealth of information, and are supported by 100 photographs, most of which were sourced from the Australian War Memorial. The alphabetical entries and photograph captions are generally well researched, though occasionally suffer from minor errors. The captured A6M5 Zero fighter pictured on page 27, for example, has New Zealand Air Force markings, not Australian as stated, and the tank pictured on page 51 is actually a Vickers Medium Mark 2 (Special), not a Mark 2 as stated in the caption. The RAAC will doubtless be interested to learn that the Leopard tank replaced the Centurion from 1974 (the Leopard was ordered in 1974, but the Leopard AS1 actually started replacing the Centurion from early 1977 following the arrival of the first batch in late 1976). Likewise, that the M113 APC (sic) (presumably the M113A1 LRV or APC) is obsolete, despite the fact that the RAAC will be using them into the next century.
