He is described as one of the most original and influential of the Australian Army's planners of the post Second world War period. Amog his many achievements he re-established Australia's jungle warfare training centre at Canungra and in 1957 instructed the armed forces of Burma and became their strategic adviser. This brought him to the attention of the CIA and he became a special adviser to the US military commander in Vietnam. He subsequently was an adviser to three US Presidents. He was the last Australian to leave Saigon in the helicopter evacuation in 1975 when he returned to Australia.
