During my MUN career, I have been active in the American, European, and world circuits, and held tenure as President & Founder of the KCL United Nations Association as well as Best Delegate Media Chair of the United Kingdom. LIMUN always holds a special place for me. It is thus an honor to return for the fourth time with my partner-in-crime Gabriela Silova. We are excited to deliver the very best chairing to you all. NATO will be a challenging yet rewarding committee for you all. With consensus voting and complex current topics, there will be no shortage of material for you to address head-on. Good luck on your preparation and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send us an e- mail! Your Director, Yuji Develle – [email protected] Dear Delegates, My name is Gabriela Silova, and after graduating from King’s College London with BSc in Political Economy, I joined a graduate scheme with an investment bank in London. Throughout my academic years, I had the pleasure to attend the highest quality conferences worldwide both as a delegate and a chair. Having participated in NATO committees in the past myself, I am delighted to be your Assistant Director alongside Yuji, while we tackle two pressing topics. Since LIMUN 2017 will also be my fourth time I return to the conference, I have no doubt about the quality of debate and negotiation from you delegates. All the best with research! Your Assistant Director, Gabriela Silova 3 ZZ LONDON INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2017 Introduction to the committee Founded as a result of the North Atlantic Treaty on 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the world’s largest (and arguably most powerful) military alliance comprising 28 members from both sides of the Atlantic in the North American and European continents. A political & military alliance, system of collective defence, channel for trans- Atlantic security cooperation, and think tank for strategic doctrine, NATO pursues its core missions in four major ways. Decisions & Consultations at a variety of political and military levels made across all 28 states and decided upon in a consensual manner; Active Operations & Missions in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Africa (broadly), the Mediterranean, and the Horn of Africa under the premises of Article 5 of the Washington Treaty and/or a UNSC mandate; Partnerships developed with other countries and organizations to the end of strengthening its depth and reach; Constant re-evaluation and re-developing of members states’ policies, capabilities, and structures so as to remain at the forefront of rapidly evolving new threats. (NATO.int) In this simulation, you will be representing a member state of the North Atlantic Council, the ‘principal political decision-making body of NATO’ (NATO.int).

ENGLISH only STATEMENT on the Joint Turkish-Azerbaijani Large-Scale Military Exercise as delivered by the Delegation of the Republic of Armenia at the 966th Plenary Meeting of the Forum for Security Co-operation 27 January 2021 Madam Chairperson, On 17 January the Ministry of Defense of Turkey announced through its official website about conducting the «Winter-2021» joint Turkish-Azerbaijani military exercise in Kars from 1 to 12 February. This was followed by information disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan on the departure of the military personnel and equipment of the Nakhijevan Combined Army of Azerbaijan to Turkey to take part in the joint military exercise. According to the Turkish media reports, the planned exercise is expected to be one of the largest winter military drills of recent times aimed, among others, at improving cooperation and coordination during joint military operations and testing combat capabilities under extreme weather conditions. Reportedly, the military exercise will involve tank divisions, heavy artillery, sniper teams, helicopters and special forces. At the previous meeting of the FSC we drew the attention of the participating States to this exercise. In response to our inquiry Turkish delegation here in Vienna insisted that the exercise was not notified under the Vienna Document because of the small number of the military personnel and equipment to be engaged in it.

    Analysis Report iTrust-Analysis-001 May 2016 BlackEnergy - Malware for Cyber-Physical Attacks About iTrust iTrust is a multidisciplinary research centre located in the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), established collaboratively by SUTD and the Ministry of Defence, Singapore (MINDEF). The focus of iTrust is on cyber security, spanning across three research areas: a. Cyber Physical System (CPS); b. Enterprise Networking / Security; and c. Internet of Things (IoT). iTrust researchers focus on the development of advanced tools and methodologies to ensure security and safety of current and future cyber physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Systems of interest include large infrastructure of national importance such as power grid, water treatment, and oil refineries as well as cyber-devices such as smart watches, pacemakers, defibrillators, insulin pumps, and VNS implants. Cyber physical systems is one of the many areas we are working on. The focus of the proposed research is to improve our understanding of cyber threats to CPSs and to develop and experiment with strategies to mitigate such threats. Our approach is based on well understood technical foundations borrowed from the interdisciplinary fields of control theory, artificial intelligence, game theory, networking, and software engineering. The techniques propose will be evaluated against, and demonstrated in our Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) Testbed, Water Distribution System (WADI) testbed, and Electric Power and Intelligent Control (EPIC) testbed. Similarly, shielded room laboratory for IoT research. iTrust researchers are drawn from across SUTD and with a strong collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), enrich the depth, breadth, and quality of research.

  • Navy RPA Comments- Through 12/18/2020
    Navy RPA Comments- through 12/18/2020 I object to the Navy’s proposal to use our State Parks for training. There are serious problems with the proposal. Allowing the Navy to use our State Parks for training would further militarize our society, taking over a large number of parks (29) for military training. We use our parks for peace, solitude, getting back to nature, getting in tune with our family and ourselves. There is no need to use these spaces. Stop, just stop. This is a terrible idea. I firmly object. This is wrong. Stop.1 The Navy has and continues to destroy our state and national parks, our homes, environment, wildlife and communities with toxic jet noise and war games. Our State Parks are for us the Citizens, not military war games. Just say no to the Bullish Toxic Navy.2 I OBJECT to the Navy’s proposal to use our State Parks for training! There are serious problems with the proposal. Allowing the Navy to use our State Parks for training would further militarize our society, taking over a large number of parks (29) for military training. One of the key responsibilities for civil authorities is to tell the military when enough is enough. Just say NO to using public parks for military training!3 In these days of great division in our civil society, we don't need stealthy men in camo uniforms toting toy guns around our State and County Parks. People frequent parks to escape tension, not to encounter more. Keep the Navy commando training out of our parks!4 Please don’t let the military train in our parks.5 I am vehemently opposed to allowing military training in our 29 public parks.

  • Training to Fight – Russia's Major Military Exercises 2011–2014
    “Train hard, fi ght easy.” The Russian 18th century General Aleksandr Norberg Johan toFight Training Vasilievich Suvorov (see cover) is said to never have lost a battle. The main idea of his dictum is clear. Armed forces train to fi ght. The more they train, the better they get. Exercises are primarily a way to develop capabilities in units, build the fi ghting power of a force and, ultimately, the military power of the state. How did military exercises contribute to the fi ghting power of Russia’s Armed Forces in 2011 – 2014? Based on reporting in Russian open sources, the main conclusion in this report is that the Russian Armed Forces exercises enabled them to train how to launch and fi ght large-scale joint inter-service operations, i.e. launching and waging inter-state wars Training to Fight – Russia’s Major Military Exercises 2011–2014 Johan Norberg FOI-R--4128--SE ISSN1650-1942 www.foi.se December 2015 Johan Norberg Training to Fight – Russia’s Major Military Exercises 2011–2014 Press Bild/Cover: TT/The Art Collector/Heritage.
