ADEL Online has been redesigned and upgraded. The new look of the website has been launched and can now be accessed at adelonline.defence.gov.au

ADEL’s new format is designed to be user-friendly. The index of publications is arranged in a tree structure, with cascading headings built in to assist users familiar with the Doctrine Hierarchy to find the doctrine publications they require.

A significant difference with the new ADEL Online is the removal of obsolete Australian Army doctrine from the site. ADEL Online will make available current Australian Army doctrine and a selection of joint, allied and miscellaneous publications. Users seeking information from obsolete Army doctrine publications will, in future, need to access them via the Centre for Army Lessons at http://lwdc.sor.defence.gov.au/cal

In parallel with the launch of the new ADEL Online site, ADEL 2003 is currently being pressed and is expected to be distributed in the next six weeks.

ADEL 2003 will contain four CDs and features the same design as the new ADEL Online. It will contain all the publications that are in the online library on the date of pressing.

Information on Army doctrine (including how to access doctrine in hard copy via the Defence Publishing Service) can be found at the Doctrine Wing homepage at lwdc.sor.defence.gov.au/doctrine/

General queries relating to ADEL Online and the ADEL 2003 CD edition should be directed via e-mail to adel@defence.gov.au or via the feedback mechanism located on the website.
