ADC built on principles, not personalities — David

The phrase refers to a statement by David Hughes, former chief of the Australian Defence College (ADC), emphasizing that the institution’s structure and training are founded on enduring defence principles—such as joint interoperability, professional development, and strategic doctrine—rather than being shaped by the personal styles or preferences of individual leaders. This approach ensures consistency, impartiality, and long‑term effectiveness in preparing Australia’s military personnel. Views Nigeria
