Captain Nathan Coultis is a former package master and instructor of the Intelligence Preparation of the BattleSpace, Operations & MAP, and DATE packages at the Defence Force School of Intelligence, Land Intelligence Wing. He has both produced and assessed a lot of churn and firmly believes that less is more, the Combat Brigade is the essential formation for tactical manoeuvre, and anything less than that is simply an over-planned ‘battle drill’.

He was Battery Commander of CSS Battery, 4th Regiment RAA between 2018-2019, during the introduction to service of the L121 Phase 3B MHC to the 3rd Brigade.
