Counterinsurgency is one of the principal modes of conflict of our time. The component of counterinsurgency operations which remains neglected is the capacity building of allied forces—a subject that is rightfully the subject of a great deal of analysis. The ADF has been involved almost constantly with that task for decades, beginning most coherently with the Australian Army Advisory Team in Vietnam and more recently in Afghanistan and Iraq. Capacity building is a concept derived from international development theory and practice which throws some light on the complex process of creating a national army and the role of external expertise in that process.
