At a pivotal moment in Australia's post-war defence history, The Australian Army presents an authoritative and comprehensive parliamentary examination of one of the nation's most vital institutions. Commissioned by the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence and published under the authority of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, this official report details the structure, capability, and strategic role of the Australian Army during a period of profound geopolitical change in the Asia-Pacific region. The report argues for a rigorous reassessment of Australia's ground defence forces, chronicling the Army's organisation, manpower, equipment, and readiness against the backdrop of Cold War tensions and the nation's evolving foreign policy commitments. Written in the measured, authoritative prose of parliamentary inquiry, it illuminates the intersection of politics, strategy, and national security — raising questions about Australia's sovereign defence capacity that remain as relevant today as when the ink first dried in Canberra.
