Pentropic organisation

Then Brigadier Reg Pollard in Korea, 1953. As Chief of the General Staff, Pollard oversaw the restructure of the Australian Army along pentropic lines.[1]

The Pentropic organisation was a military organisation used by the Australian Army between 1960 and 1965. It was based on the United States Army's pentomic organisation and involved reorganising most of the Army's combat units into units based on five elements, rather than the previous three or four sub-elements. The organisation proved unsuccessful, and the Army reverted to its previous unit structures in early 1965.
