History of Military Operational Parachute Jumps HISTORY OF MILITARY OPERATIONAL PARACHUTE JUMPS. It is necessary to clarify the inclusions and omissions of this history. The listed parachute drops include all that were made by uniformed and organized bodies of troops. The title of "Operational Jumps" is deliberate. These are not training or exercise jumps but they do include rescue parachute jumps and reinforcement jumps into what was enemy territory. The term "combat jump" has been purposely avoided, as it seems impossible to define a 'combat' jump from a 'reinforcement' jump. Also included in the Operational Parachute Jump section are the numerous jumps made in civilian dress by personnel of the various intelligence agencies, such as the British SOE, USA OSS and French BCRA and BCRAA, and other intelligence organizations. Not included are all landings by glider forces, although these were an integral part of the major airborne operations during WW-II. Where available, the insertion by parachute of missions to support the Resistance and Parisians are included, but some information may still not be available. The dates and locations of the drop zones are the best that can be found in the multitude of records, and in several operations there is a variance in the records from different sources to include the actual number of jump participants. These is a variance in the date of the drop, which may be attributed to some records indicating the date the aircraft departed and other records, such as this, will reflect the date of the actual jump. Many of the operational jumps that involved personnel from different nations sometimes had different Operation/Mission names given by the countries to the same mission, which may have resulted in some duplication in these records. In the case of many of the agent type drops, additional details, name, etc., are available in records but there is insufficient space here to present the full, fascinating story of each operation. One of the better sources of the World War II agent infiltrations, land, air and sea, can be found in the following site: http://www.plan-sussex-1944.net/anglais/pdf/infiltrations_into_france.pdf While this is an exhaustive record of Military Operational Parachute Jumps, it is felt/known there are others which are not recorded here, such as have been recently conducted in Afghanistan. If any reader has information on additional operational jumps, please contact us so the information can be added to this History.

There are lessons to be learned from this episode. Commentary 26 SEPTEMBER 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of Operation Jaywick, a daring Allied commando raid to destroy Japanese ships anchored in Singapore harbour during the Second World War. Though it was only a small military operation that came under the larger Allied war effort in the Pacific, it is worth noting that the methods employed bear many similarities to what is today known as asymmetric warfare. States and militaries often have to contend with asymmetric warfare either as part of a larger campaign or when defending against adversaries. Traditionally regarded as the strategy of the weak, it enables a weaker armed force to compensate for disparities in conventional force capabilities. Increasingly, it has been employed by non-state actors such as terrorist groups and insurgencies against the United States and its allies to great effect, as witnessed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recently Marawi.

    THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL National Collection Development Plan The Australian War Memorial commemorates the sacrifice of Australian servicemen and servicewomen who have died in war. Its mission is to help Australians to remember, interpret and understand the Australian experience of war and its enduring impact on Australian society. The Memorial was conceived as a shrine, museum and archive that supports commemoration through understanding. Its development through the years has remained consistent with this concept. Today the Memorial is a commemorative centrepiece; a museum, housing world-class exhibitions and a diverse collection of material relating to the Australian experience of war; and an archive holding extensive official and unofficial documents, diaries and papers, making the Memorial a centre of research for Australian military history. The Australian War Records Section Trophy Store at Peronne. AWM E03684 The National Collection The Australian War Memorial houses one of Australia’s most significant museum collections. Consisting of historical material relating to Australian military history, the National Collection is one of the most important means by which the Memorial presents the stories of Australians who served in war. The National Collection is used to support exhibitions in the permanent galleries, temporary and travelling exhibitions, education and public programs, and the Memorial’s website. Today, over four million items record the details of Australia’s involvement in military conflicts from colonial times to the present day. Donating to the National Collection The National Collection is developed largely by donations received from serving or former members of Australia’s military forces and their families. These items come to the Memorial as direct donations or bequests, or as donations under the Cultural Gifts program.

Les archives rassemblées dans cette sous-série sont issues pour partie des services de la préfecture et pour partie du service hydraulique créé en 1848, agissant pour le compte du ministère de l'Agriculture et placé sous l'autorité des services des Ponts et Chaussées. PRÉFECTURE Le rôle du service hydraulique est essentiellement administratif : suivi et contrôle des dossiers d'aménagements et de travaux, vérification des budgets, comptes administratifs et comptes de gestion des associations syndicales. Le rôle du préfet est en effet de vérifier et d'approuver les différents projets soumis par l'ingénieur en chef des Ponts et Chaussées ou par les différents directeurs des associations syndicales autorisées. Après la Révolution, des particuliers érigent de nouveaux moulins et réclament des droits sur l'eau. Le principe retenu est que l'eau n'appartient à personne mais est d'usage commun. Les lois de 1790 et 1791 donnent pouvoir à l'administration de régler les problèmes.

  • The Allied Intelligence Bureau
    APPENDIX 4 THE ALLIED INTELLIGENCE BUREAU Throughout the last three volumes of this series glimpses have bee n given of the Intelligence and guerilla operations of the various organisa- tions that were directed by the Allied Intelligence Bureau . The story of these groups is complex and their activities were diverse and so widesprea d that some of them are on only the margins of Australian military history . They involved British, Australian, American, Dutch and Asian personnel , and officers and men of at least ten individual services . At one time o r another A.I.B. controlled or coordinated eight separate organisations. The initial effort to establish a field Intelligence organisation in what eventually became the South-West Pacific Area was made by the Aus- tralian Navy which, when Japan attacked, had a network of coastwatche r stations throughout the New Guinea territories . These were manned by people living in the Australian islands and the British Sololnons . The development and the work of the coastwatchers is described in some detai l in the naval series of this history and in The Coast Watchers (1946) by Commander Feldt, who directed their operations. The expulsion of Allied forces from Malaya, the Indies and the Philip- pines, and also the necessity of establishing Intelligence agencies withi n the area that the enemy had conquered brought to Australia a numbe r of Allied Intelligence staffs and also many individuals with intimate know - ledge of parts of the territories the Japanese now occupied . At the summit were, initially, the Directors of Intelligence of the thre e Australian Services .
