Abstract
I am going to try to bridge two key elements of this conference: a historical case
study, and how it links to lessons for the Australian Army. This is not an easy task;
lessons from any case study are difficult, linked as they are to their context and time.
However, there are some key similarities between the Indian Army in August 1947
and the Iraqi Army in 2015: the lack of a realistic political endstate; a proper strategy
for withdrawal of the interventionist state; and the divisive communalism of the
political leadership inside the country.
