Land Warfare Doctrine Hierarchy

 

SOLDIERS will soon have access to a wallchart, which presents the hierarchy of Land Warfare Doctrine. It contains all current, in-draft and proposed Land Warfare Doctrine (LWD) and Land Warfare Procedures (both general and special-to-corps/functional area).

It should be noted that the wallchart does not include current Manuals of Land Warfare and Corps Training Notes. Lists of these publications can be found in Training Command Instruction 2.0 Doctrine, available at the Doctrine Wing website. Some Australian Defence Force Publications (ADFP) are specifically included in the Land Warfare doctrine hierarchy. A list of Joint Doctrine (ADFP and Australian Defence Doctrine Publications (ADDP)) is available through the ADF Warfare Centre website at http://defweb.cbr.defence.gov.au/adfwc/ by clicking on the publications link.
