When this is over, it will be asked what was different about this operation from others. One of those things will be that we conducted information operations. General Peter Cosgrove, AC, MC
While the Chief Of Defence Forces Air Marshall Mark Binskin looks to Captain Mona Shindy for wisdom in dealing with jihadis ,and ASIO chief Major General (Ret) Duncan Lewis spouts the words "terrorism experts" Anne Aly and Greg Barton, both men seem to have dismissed the Australian Defence Forces tried, tested and evolving psychological operations (PSYOP) and Human Intelligence (HUMINT) capabilities.
As General Sir Peter Cosgrove suggests, these capabilities have been tried and tested successfully, in at least the Timor conflict.
Copied and pasted here is some literature on the ADF's PSYOP and HUMINT capabilities.
