Book, Cable. R.W, An Independent Command: Command & Control of the 1st Australian Task Force in Vietnam
... Australian Task Force in Vietnam....Australia. Army. Australian Task Force (Vietnam)...Australia. Army. Australian Task Force (Vietnam) Command ...The commander f the 1st Australian Task Force in Vietnam held the key operational command in Australia's largest military commitment of the Cold War period. Although the Vietnam War has been written on at length, the brigade level of command, held in Vietnam by the commander of 1 ATF, has received comparatively little attention. This is the more remarkable given the Australian Army's recently renewed interest in a "task force' structure and the modern trend away from large scale conventional warfare.The commander f the 1st Australian Task Force in Vietnam held the key operational command in Australia's largest military commitment of the Cold War period.
