I laughed so hard when you mentioned the Reserves getting the rough end of the stick. When I was in, we was lucky to even get a stick! In fact most of the time, you had to bring your own stick.
When I was in the reserves - we used to say "Buckets of Bullets" repetitively to show how we were firing "blanks" :P
@@jamesmorris889 oh yes, I remember that well unfortunately.
Well, I had not many bullets except for the once a year range shoot, but the original radio sets we trained on were leftover Brit gear from the 1950's. The Vietnam war conclusion altered that later, with the retirement to us of recent American powerful radio sets and we were able to use them to greater benefits to comms at task force level.

I’m from the United States and I’m honored to have you guys as our allies! 🇺🇸🇦🇺
And thank you mate
We have always been Brother in arms and always will
Thanks legend👍
Thank you guys too.
Thanks mate.
Im glad we are allies.
Imagine if presentations like this were on main stream media, well done Hypo well done.
At least we have an ever-increasing number of dedicated documentary streaming services with similarly well produced content (if you believe the sponsorship ads!).
A partnership with such a service would be a great sponsorship opportunity for H3 to pursue.
Only old people watch the legacy media these days.
What, do you mean CZcams is a niche form of Media now?
@@YaMomsOyster people like to pat themselves on the back for finding a documentary like this by decrying the mainstream media
As a soldier from 78-84 when morale was so low with old equipment it’s great to see they are finally spending the money to upgrade a lot of systems and equipment. Great video as usual and heaps of information. Cheers!
Agree, good see the ADF finally crawling out from under decades of government Defence Budget cutbacks. Now, if we could only somehow get rid of the politicians input into Defence equipment acquisition.
Lol, wish I could have my time over again.
Great to see some of the ASLAVS being replaced with the Boxers
Really bad in the eighties eh? That's a bit sad.
I suppose the best that can be said is that the world was gaining geopolitical stability with the wall coming down so luckily large deployments were less needed.
But it's always bugged me that the pollies put in charge of the Defence portfolio are typically MBAs with no background in defence acquisitions/management.
I understand that there must be checks and balances in place, but it seems to me that we should be leaving major decisions regarding the defence of the nation to the experts who dedicated their lives to the task, only reigning them in if spending gets out of hand. If they say we need xxxxxx, we probably do.
In about '78 at an NCO & officers night we were given the tactical problem to defend a hill in open rolling country with an inf pl and a sect of MAW's in support. The en were 1 tk pl and an inf co mounted (BMP's). It was a group task. We reassembled to discuss and the CO was silly enough to kick off by asking me for my solution. "I request 36 posthumous VC's Sir." was my opening gambit.
It wasn't the 'proper response' required for tact nor promotion - but caused sustained merriment. But it did gradually gelled in my thoughts 'yeah, I might actually face this dilemma one day'. (There were additional but sadly related issues summarised by 'I'll get serious when the powers to be get serious - I'm outa here).
@@graemesydney38 Perfect comeback at the time,hell I joined at 17 in 86 got to 6 RAR and wondered why the SLR I was issued had the triangular front stock the armourer told me it had probably seen service in Vietnam section weapons were re rifled Bren guns And I'm not if this is true but the boys in 1 and 2/4 RAR in Townsville were still using Owen guns aswell
As an American, it was nice to hear what gear and capabilities you guys have. We're glad to have you Aussies as allies!
I'll let you know not as happy as we are to have you guys as allies
Like wise mate, always felt good knowing the "yanks" were with us.
@@Mark-bb2vr Let's take England!
we aren't 'allies' (that suggests we have our own choices) we are your vassal ? we go to all your wars that have nothing to do with us
Bloody hell, that was some exceptional editing. The structural progression of your analysis was so naturally dovetailed I lost track of the time I'd spent watching. Your PhD supervisor must be happy.
Started watching your epic 2nd Punic war video, and your finesse is starting to make sense. Compared to that colossal undertaking, this must have seemed like a stroll in the park.
Nah he's a prick mate, never happy! Looks like its basically over anyway. Should be resubmitted in the next week or so.
THANK YOU HHH. I am an older Reserve bloke and believe that we ALL need to be ready of anyone who goes out of their way to bully us! (Any suggestions?) Would you please do a history of and an up to date overview of Norforce. What most Aussies do not know is the commitment by a good number of Indigenous Aussies to the protection of the country by this and similar units.
would love to see a norforce video. Interesting that not a lot of people know they even exist!
Lve to see a Norfrce video
Norforce, the Pilbara Regiment in Western Australia, and the 51st Battalion, Far North Queensland Regiment.
Didn't know about this, sounds like an excellent topic for a video!
Much respect to any indigenous people helping to defend their country, especially since their traditional ways of life are so different to our modern society.
After a decade of service in the reserves in a Rifle company, the real lesson learned was the poor standing the Reserves had in the eyes of the Regulars and are treated with derision as a joke, the same way they viewed the mIlitia during WWII.
The algorithm has brought me something good for once!
I was pretty pleased when this channel popped up in my Recommended too. :)
@@sixstringedthing he’s got a tiktok @hypohystericalhistory
Such a different Army than the one I served in (1977-98). Good to see that it's found an effective aim and structure, so much of the time I served it seemed to be "lost", no clear direction, just stumbling around, underfunded, undermanned, grimly hanging on to Vietnam era experience.
Now, there's looks to be a proven doctrine, built on broader experience and seemingly now supported by the a government that isn't hell bent on stripping the heart out of it.
Oh mate, you were there during the worst possible time for the army, the Defence of Australia era.
Australia should still have national service but for the part time reserve force. It would bring a significant increase numbers to our army at a reasonable cost.
Australia could have 60.000 regular army force. And 250.000 part time reserve force. Sweden has something similar to that. And their GDP is much smaller than ours is. Why can they afford it. But they say we can't? (Australia?)
@@hypohystericalhistory8133 My dad was too
@@hypohystericalhistory8133 yep... getting kicked around by politicians for 21 years.
And my reward? The "pension for life" I got for 20+ years service was taken away from me by those same politicians on a technicality when I got divorced and my ex died.
Maybe a major reason why I'm now diagnosed with major, chronic and treatment resistant depression.
Oh well could be worse I guess
@@nathan-ck3je My experience with reservists, when I served, was that you can break them into 2 major "types".
1, The incredibly devoted and driven person who spend most of the year at a "regular" job, and are still motivated to sign up to serve the nation during their own time. These are the true "ANZAC" types you want and need.
2, The opportunist arsehats who heard that reserve pay was tax free, and the Cadre staff struggle to get to attend the bare minimum of parades. (called "WOFTAM" or Waste Of Freaking Time And Money)
I believe there are far far more of the former, the latter only come to be prolific during my service time due to government programs aimed at somehow maintaining military personnel numbers at minimal wages cost, and damn the consequences.
Compulsory National Service, in a time where there is no national threat to require conscription, would kill any chance of properly vetting applicants, to ensure you get those who want to serve (as I believe is now happening). Forced service in the military will only breed resentful and poorly motivated personnel. Esp in the age of comfort, and dare I say, "entitlement" that we currently enjoy.
Much better to have a well equipped and maintained core of dedicated full time people, as a nucleus, surrounded by similarly minded , trained and equipped volunteer reservists that can be expanded upon quickly than a mess of disgruntled conscripts making trouble, let them add to the defense budget via taxes.
And no, rehabilitation of criminals, drug addicts and the alleged "dole bludger"under the guise of National Service is not the role of the military, it doesn't do anything for effectiveness or morale, it just distracts from the effective prosecution of the military's role. It does let the politician make lots of noise, and a whole bunch of boomers (yeah, my age) say things like "It'll do 'em good!" "teach them some respect" etc etc etc
I was a British Army Reservist, TA, back in the 1980's. God Bless Australia. I remember Aus soldiers on secondment at Gibralter Barracks(HQ RE training regt), instructors, senior SNCO's, some from Australia. Pro's real soldiers. I salute you.
I completed 20 years of service 20 years ago. There are still soldiers, Browning HP Pistols and M113 APCs. Everything else has changed!

I learned about how badass the Anzaks were during WWI. I'm learning about what Australia was doing in WWII when the majority of U.S. and the U.K.'s forces, attention and materials were going to Europe. How a small force of Australians could keep a large Japanese force held to an area or sometimes even defeat it, making redeployment elsewhere impossible because of "aggressive patrolling" and other tactics they developed. The Australians developed jungle fighting and made a training course dedicated to producing units specifically for jungle fighting (those who did the training all had previous experience in jungle fighting). The extreme terrain they fought on was usually mountainous, forested, muddy, swarming with insects and so dense with foliage, they usually couldn't see more than 20 yards in any direction. By being highly mobile, they would often outmaneuver to overtake or redeploy to a more advantageous and defendable position causing severe losses on enemy forces while taking only a few casualties in the engagements.
I still have a few more videos to watch, but the ones I've seen so far make me respect the Australian military that much more. I really like how the Australian military was based in meritocracy, not in the monarchy or who sucked up to the top commanders the best.
We did a good job but we didn't do it alone, the Allies saved us no doubt.
I have to say this is some outstanding footage you’ve found along with equally outstanding information, keep up the great work, thanks.
I have to say this was an excellent summary on the current state of the Australian army that I found gripping from start to finish. Well done and appreciate the amount of work that went into it.
For an old Aussie soldier like me (early 80's) this was a pretty comprehensive and enlightening vid. well done son.
Whoa! This is an outstanding guide to your military! Trained along side with you guys years ago. Thank you and respect from vet.
That was stunning. The most intense and informative review of an essential service in a critical time. I can now actually understand how the Army is structured, AND it's capability. Brilliant!
What a ripper of a video! I only know very very basic details of our Army, but this video really breaks it down and goes through all it's evolutions and changes. It's good to know that the main deficiencies are now being addressed. Bloody brilliant Hypo!
Great presentation on the Current Army Construct/ Order of Battle.
By far the best all round in depth look at where we're currently at & where we're heading as an Army
Keep up the great work.
I haven’t even watched it yet and I’m already excited. When I saw this pop up on my suggested, I let out an audible exclamation or excitement. Please never stop making videos!!!
This channel deserves wayyyy more subs, great job hypo!
Well done, an outstanding overview of past, present and future Army capabilities.
I have a passing curisoity on subjects such as history, polictics, economics, geo-politics, military hardware etc etc. No where near a expert on these subjects but always interested in knowning more that I can normally get from "mainstream" media. This channel has been a great help to casuals such as my self to understand complex issues. I work in IT so I know how complex things can be as well as how hard it can be to convey certain issues with out using industry standard nomenclature; you are clear and direct so that makes it easy for me to undestand. keep up the great work! :)
THAT PRESENTATION WAS OF SUCH A HIGH CALIBRE. Well done sir on a very professional job.
I'll be watching this a couple of more times to bed down the info. 👍
I am Australian myself - and I once heard my father (a former serviceman in the Australian Army) describe the Navy as being the equivalent of two canoes and a peashooter. Another person I know immediately got offended upon hearing this, being a retired Airman, who assumed it was the ADF in general that was being disrespected - not at all -it's the Aus Government that deserves the diss - the men and women of the ADF are exceptional
good stuff guys.
Thank you all for your service.
much appreciated
Love your well informed vids! All the best from the Netherlands.
All I can say is outstanding work. Subscriber for life
Found this floating around CZcams 6-ish months after it got uploaded, and it's been sitting in my Watch Later list for a further 18-ish months. Glad I finally watched it, very interesting stuff. Good shit, mate. Subbed.
Excellent video. You have a way of making what could easily be a very boring series of facts seem interesting. I’ve gained a new appreciation of Australia’s army.
Great work, mate. Really enjoyed this. The Lynx is a very impressive machine but if it was up to me, I think I'd go with the (upgunned) Redback. I have to say, it'd be nice if NZDF got it's hands on some modern armor too, outside of our LAV fleet. Take it easy.
Your content is outstanding mate, well done.
Another excellent analysis. I always look forward to your posts.
Brilliant, clear, concise, informative and amazingly enough entertaining.
Exceptional work.
Fantastic work, astonishingly detailed analysis.
The Apache is a much needed boon, can't wait to see them in Aussie livery
Seeing how far the army has gone since I left it back in 2007 warms my heart. :)
Thanks Mate keeping us In the loop of our Brothers and Sisters. Bless them all.❤️
I’ve been needing a like this for a while now, thank you very much
Another great analysis dude! 🇦🇺✌🏻
Very Informative thanks mate.
Incredibly detailed video mate. Thank you for all your hard work.
Serving full track here.
Mate, with exception to some very recent developments this guide is fantastically accurate. In particular your explanation of the organisational structure of Army is exceptional. I'll likely show this to the new blokes as they rock up. Very well done!
On the colloquial side of the house minimi is pronounced 'mini-my' and we call the FN MAG the 'MAG 58'. Other than that I'd have assumed you'd served yourself.
I love that photo of the Kangaroo regimental mascot in Egypt more and more every time I see it. :)
RIP the diggers who were lost in all conflicts, thanks and respect to all past and present personnel for their service.
And thanks H3 for another excellent deep dive/analysis.
Exceptional video. Quite ominous closing remark. Your work is very much appreciated 🇦🇺👍🏻
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. A nice presentation about the Australian armed forces.
Thanks for this mate. Soon as i was old enough I joined the 12/16 HRL. Great times and the best people. I met folks from all over Australia and are friends with some still today.
Thank you to those serving today for everything you do for us and for people around the world. Stay safe and good hunting.
Same, m113 driver 😁 ops supp sqn, a sqn, make your mind up guys 😂
Excellent work as usual mate. With the ADF now finally being shown some love after the massive eyeopener that was Timor, perhaps the Gov could start to think about expansion as well.
Whilst it's good, and more than likely going to be needed (unfortunately), that the ADF is getting more and more lethal, the ADF is mostly tip. As, I think, Jim Molan said, the ADF would win some battles against a near peer opponent, but it doesn't have the depth to win a war.
We have never had the depth to win a war without assistance and with our GDP, population and land mass to cover, we never will. Hence why we are always besties friends with the western empire of the day.

I always think I'll just watch the opening few chapters of these videos then come back to it, then suddenly find I watched the whole thing in one go. Top stuff as always.
From WW1 1914 -18 , WW2 1939-45 My Great Grand Fathers, Grand Fathers, Great Uncles & Uncles , Vietnam 1965-1973 have served in all areas of The Australian Forces. They would be pleased & proud to hear such a Young Australian Man, who is well spoken & precise.. While still sounding uniquely Australian. No bullshit or grand standing. Australia & New Zealand Armed Forces are respected because of that. ~ Lest We Forget ~ .
outstanding quality. i hope your channel grows even more
Mate i have issues with concentration because i have ADD. But you Sir kept me engaged with this video from start to finish and now i have a much better understanding of the Army. Thankyou.
Great informative video. Good to see the ADF getting some love.

You might want to check out his existing work. I think you'll find he has got it covered.
Excellent video. Please keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
This video was well presented and informative. Excellent work, bravo sir.
For a small force, Australia certainly has a tough one. Fantastic video and wonderful to see that the nation is recognizing deficiencies and working to correct them. Best wishes from the US
When I served (back in the 1990's) we were using old SLR's and I once spent a couple of days removing .30 and .50 cal machine guns from their original WW2 packing crates and then degreasing them. I was once tasked with liaising between a SAS counter-terrorism exercise and the regular army and they left their new Steyrs with me. I'd never seen one before, but no one was looking so I stripped one down and put it together again in no time. So much simpler and better balanced than the SLR!
We made the best of what we had in a time when the army was badly neglected. I was armoured corps, so I got to play with a wide range of weapons, but I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous of our modern army.
Give me the sler any day of the week,simple easy to use and when you get hit by a 7.62 its a good chance you don't get up
I can still remember finding two bren gun mags after a contact with a few guys from 10 IRC
@@stevecast5410 I'm not sure the 7.62 is that much better than the Steyr ammo (although you are correct regarding the US 5.56 M-16). The Steyr is also simple to use and has far superior ergonomic design and better sights. For a short-arse like me, a long rifle makes accuracy difficult because so much weight is held away from the body. The Steyr's weight is mostly towards the rear, which means the weapon is more stable. I'd much prefer the weapon that allows me to hit my target with my first shot.
This is a brilliant summary. Thanks for doing this.
Solid vid mate, I'm amazed at how much info you can get. G'day from 152 SIG btw
I'd love to see you do one of these videos for the Navy and Air Force as well!

Not a lot of people know this, and I'm surprised you left it out, but it was the Australian Army under General John Monash that basically invented modern combined arms strategy.
Yep, seen the potential of the first battle deployed tank in WW1.

I haven't finished watching the video yet. However, I have learned a lot so far. For instance; I didn't know we manufactured our own rifles and wasn't aware of the army's structure. This is a good video. Well done.
Combined all arms warfare was due to Sir John Monash, in 1916, as his care to troops...
Thank you sir john.

With the heavy barrelled AR 30 rnd mag boy had fun with one of those during basic
@@stevecast5410 Yep give me 7.62 anyway I don't care how heavy it was , you could punch through two house bricks all day long :) happy days no hiding from the monster with that.
I don't really think that the CCP is planning on attacking Australia, because why would they risk precipitating a world wide economic depression and a Third World War to take over an important trading partner as well as a country that the Chinese already have a huge amount of money and investments and assets in?
A country that is doing much better than it has done for centuries (like China for example) isn't likely to risk it's achievements to go off on avoidable military adventures.

Have subscribed on the basis that I expect you will be consistently solid in the other documents you have released so far.
Question: why is the relatively small size of the army expected due t the offensive focus/nature of the organisation?
Cheers
Really great work mate 👏👏
I understand that the Australian army is looking to acquire the Himars rocket artillery system. It currently ranges out to 300 km plus. I also understand that the US army is looking to extend that range out to 1800km now that the US has stepped away from the medium range middle treaty
1800km"s where did you hear that? It will be updated eventually to 800km range however the amount of propellant needed for 1800km would mean it would unlikely fit into a Himars configuration.
@johnny rocket look up the precision strike missle. Now that the US has walked away from the intermediate range treaty they intend to bolster missle range in the 500 - 5000 km range. They believe they can increase the range of the PSM to 1800 km plus
