ADEL’s graphic improvements

THE latest version ADEL CD 2006 will be in most units by the end of January.

ADEL users will see a noticeable difference in the “look and feel” of the home page. The new graphics feature more combat-oriented enhancements, but the content and logical categorisation remains.

In addition to the “quick search” option, you can still search for a publication using convenient categories such as “corps”, “weapons” or “training”. You are also still able to locate your publication using the familiar hierarchical representation of Army doctrine – the LWD Doctrine Hierarchy.

The CD only contains land warfare doctrine. ADEL Online provides users with links to joint and coalition doctrine such as the ADFP 06.1.1 Discipline Law Manual (currently ADFP 201), manuals such as Army Standing Orders for Dress, and the Centre for Army Lessons, which holds all historical doctrine electronically.

Warfare manual

THERE is a new edition of the Manual of Land Warfare 2-9-2 Range Regulations.

The manual has been comprehensively revised and issued as a consolidated version, which includes all amendments from AL1 to the most recent amendment, AL 8.

The updated edition allows all units to dispose of their existing stocks of MLW 2-9-2 Range Regulations, as well as all previous amendments. Units can now simply hold the consolidated MLW 2-9-2 Range Regulations (AL 8) publication, without worrying about amending and updating it.

Accessing doctrine

NEW publications will appear on the Army Doctrine Electronic Library (ADEL) web site soon after their signing. Army units can access current doctrine publications electronically on ADEL at http://adel.defence.gov.au

Information on current Army Doctrine can be found at the Doctrine Wing homepage at http://lwdc.sor.defence.gov.au/doctrine/

Units requiring hard copies of Land Warfare Doctrine publications are able to order these using the SP 150 Publication Access Request Form available on Defweb. If you have access to ADEL Online, you able to order LWD Hierarchy doctrine publications simply by filling in the “order doctrine” electronic submission form.
