Raspal Khosa has left ASPI to pursue career alternatives.

Raspal joined ASPI in July 2003 as a project officer tasked with the compilation of the first Australian Defence Almanac, a unique publication which brings together information across the full range of Defence activity. Building on its early success, he expanded and updated later editions of the Almanac and oversaw its successful conversion to a web-based publication.

Raspal also coordinated ASPI’s Outreach Program which involves engagement with informed audiences across Australia in support of our research program.

In the past few years Raspal established himself as one of Australia’s leading and most informed and insightful commentators on the conflict in Afghanistan and particularly Australia’s commitment in Uruzgan.

ASPI thanks Raspal for his valued contribution to the work of the Institute over the past eight years and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
