The Australian Defence Force has released a four-year plan to address systemic and cultural failings within the organisation as part of a long-awaited response to the Afghanistan war crimes inquiry.
The plan was posted on the website of the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force on Friday, with no public statement or press release acknowledging its publication.
