Success in any field is not merely dependent upon having the best assets. Be they hardware, software, experience or the human element, time and again it has been proven that the best results can be achieved when there is coordination, consultation and integration between all parties. Only then can the stakeholders maximise their potential.

As the RAAF moves towards becoming a fifth-generation air force, these principles are being implemented through initiatives such as the new Air Warfare Centre. Within this structure, various elements and personnel are transitioning to a new way of warfighting and nowhere is this more evident than in the emergence of the Air Warfare Instructor.

    It’s great to see we are becoming of age in this 4th to 5th generation of warfare. Keep up the great work, defending the front line.

    Looking forward to see a 5th gen force. Roger that all the way.

    says:

    I thought the comment on the AWIs as “expert, but not elite” added significant depth to my perception as to the quality and overall value to the ADF that they now bring.
