During the Vietnam War, Australian forces implemented a controversial policy that shocked their American allies: they banned all movement after dark. No patrols. No repositioning. Complete stillness. American commanders thought they were crazy—until the statistics became undeniable. Australian night defensive positions achieved kill ratios exceeding 100:1 while suffering almost zero friendly fire casualties. The Viet Cong learned to avoid Australian positions entirely after dark, issuing explicit orders to bypass them. This is the story of how standing still became more deadly than constant movement, and why one of the most "passive" tactical decisions of the war created some of its most lethal results.
