The revolution is most obvious to us professionally in areas like the digital battlespace and fifth generation warfare concepts but also individually in our smart phones, chat rooms and social media accounts. &nbsp;There is however, an overlooked area where these aspects intersect and that is mobilisation. It\u2019s a dry term albeit fundamental. Mobilisation involves \u201cbeing ready to execute a specific operation\u201d. It\u2019s at the core of everything the ADF does.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mention mobilisation and people instantly think of world wars, gigantic factories churning out military hardware on a vast scale and society wide conscription. In reality, any ADF operation were more personnel, money or material is required than the normal peacetime rate of effort involves some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.defence.gov.au\/adfwc\/Documents\/DoctrineLibrary\/ADDP\/ADDP_00_2_preparedness_and_mobilisation.pdf\">form of mobilisation<\/a>: selective, partial, within government or national.
