Day Two of the Chief of Army Symposium 2025 is now available to watch!
This year's Chief of Army Symposium (CAS) was held across three historic locations in Canberra over 26-27 August.
The Symposium is a significant event in the Army’s annual calendar, serving as an opportunity to gather, reflect, engage, and analyse. This year's theme was "Army in Society" and inspired Defence leaders and esteemed academics to lead sessions that delved into our deep connection and relationship with the society we serve.
