ANZUS: A View from the Trenches,

Abstract

The significance of the Australia, New Zealand, and United States (ANZUS) alliance is not what it promises but what it allows. It has great value to the soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen of each nation. Its advantage from the trenches is that it imposes few rules and regulations on like-minded people who share common hopes, aspirations, and professional approaches to the defense of their respective countries. Though this article is focused on land forces, it should be noted that naval and air forces are equally if not better supported within the alliance because of the extensive integration of naval and air equipment, intelligence, doctrine, and training. Before turning to the tactical level, however, it is useful to look at ANZUS from the strategic and operational levels.
