The National Service Act is altered. Men who refuse to register for National Service will now be imprisoned.

This led to a spike in military participation in Australia, with Australian forces in South Vietnam reaching its peak under a year later in 1969.

Furthermore, the Act was amended so that national servicemen could be granted leave without pay for a 12 month period if national service would impose exceptional hardship. If this hardship had existed for an extended period of time and was presumed in all reasonable expectation to continue to exist, national servicemen could be granted an indefinite deferment by a magistrate's court.

These alterations also allowed men who had already commenced national service to be entitled to apply for exemption on grounds of conscience. This process remained was the same for those who registered or applied for partial or total exemption. Upon filing for the conscientious objector status, the serving soldier was granted leave without pay until his application was heard.

These amendments were principally designed to increase penalties for breaches of the Act and to increase the powers of the Government to trace defaulters. They were intensely debated in both Houses of Parliament before being eventually passed.

The AH-1 was rapidly developed as an interim gunship in response to the United States Army's needs in the Vietnam War. It used the same engine, transmission and rotor system as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, which had already proven itself to be a capable platform during the conflict, but paired it with a redesigned narrow fuselage among other features. The original AH-1, being a dedicated attack helicopter, came equipped with stub wings for various weapons, a chin-mounted gun turret, and an armored tandem cockpit, from which it was operated by a pilot and gunner. Its design was shaped to fulfill a need for a dedicated armed escort for transport helicopters, giving the latter greater survivability in contested environments. On 7 September 1965, the Model 209 prototype performed its maiden flight; after rapidly gaining the support of various senior officials, quantity production of the type proceeded rapidly with little revision.

During June 1967, the first examples of the AH-1 entered service with the US Army and were promptly deployed to the Vietnam theater. It commonly provided fire support to friendly ground forces, escorted transport helicopters, and flew in "hunter killer" teams by pairing with Hughes OH-6A Cayuse scout helicopters. In the Vietnam War alone, the Cobra fleet cumulatively chalked up in excess of one million operational hours; roughly 300 AH-1s were also lost in combat. In addition to the US Army, various other branches of the US military also opted to acquire the type, particularly the United States Marine Corps. Furthermore, numerous export sales were completed with several overseas countries, including Israel, Japan, and Turkey.
