One of the Canberra Papers on Strategy and Defence series, Forewarned Forearmed is a detailed exploration of the activities of the Australian Army Intelligence Corps in support of the 1st Australian Task Force in South Vietnam between 1966 and 1971. Here, Tidey examines the effectiveness of this specialist intelligence support, focusing predominantly on the organisation, equipment, and operational activities of the Detachment – 1st Divisional Intelligence Unit and 547 Signal Troop. An interesting study into a little-known aspect of Australian military intelligence history.
