Clear
language
ARMY
has been at the forefront of harmonising our current operational
terms, definitions, abbreviations and military symbols with those
of NATO and ABCA forces.
Some might ask, “Why are we doing this and how does this
value-add to Australian Army doctrine?” In brief, it’s
all about developing a better understanding of the areas of commonality
and difference with our allied and coalition partners, which will
aid clarity and consistency in Army’s operational language
and our doctrine.
The Defence Glossary (formerly known as the Defence Language Management
System) on the DRN is the ADO’s central repository for all
terms, definitions, abbreviations and military symbols, of which
the ADF’s portion is referred to as the Operational Glossary.
For Army it provides users with an up-to-date military glossary
and a method for suggesting the inclusion of additional information
or new terms, definitions, abbreviations or military symbols.
Business rules as well as guidelines governing the Operational
Glossary are still being developed.
The CIOG will complete an audit of the Defence Glossary by 2006
to ensure the accuracy of the information. For Army, the Defence
Glossary will become “live” at the completion of the
audit, anticipated to be January 2006. The link for the glossary
is http://dlms.dcb.defence.gov.au/.
CLM update
CURRENTLY the Command, Leadership and Management doctrine hierarchy
has three publications that are close to completion.
LWP-G 0-2-5 All Corps Troop/Platoon Field Handbook is completed
pending the arrival of the latest doctrine on first aid. A significant
amendment to MAP doctrine has been finalised. Comment on the draft
LWD 0-2-2 Character publication has been collated, with editing
and formatting now progressing.
A redesign of LWP-G 0-2-3 All Corps Soldiers Aide Memoire will
start after the issue of the Troop/Platoon Field Handbook. The
final writing phase for the draft LWD 0-2-1 Operational Psychology
publication will be completed this month, at which stage it will
be distributed for comment. The POC for CLM publications is Maj
Mark Langdon, who can be contacted at mark.langdon1@defence.gov.au
