The Series theme is Firepower: however, inside that wider topic, the seminars will analyse many aspects of the role of firepower within the wider context of warfare. These include: Command and Control; Human Stories – Gunners; Human Stories – Commanders; Artillery Tactics; Technology – Ammunition systems; Technology – the ‘Gunnery Problem’; Combined Arms – the advent of modern warfare; Force Generation and Sustainment; and Other Gunners – allies and adversaries.  |

Eleven Firepower seminars will be held from May 2015 until November 2018, each timed to align with anniversaries of significant battles or events during the Great War. The first seminar, Gallipoli: the Landing at Anzac, will take place at the Australian Defence Force Academy on 13 May 2015. Each seminar will have up to five speakers presenting on different topics for ten minutes, followed by an hour of moderated question & answer forum. Proceedings from each seminar will be published in the RAAHC’s Cannonball magazine, and podcast on the RAAHC’s website, with select contributions peer reviewed for inclusion in an anthology of Firepower articles to be published through the Australian Army History Unit. |
