Vice President Visits KFOR: VP Talks About the Importance of the National Guard and the KFOR Mission
VP Visits Polish Constitution Donating Help Kids Camp June 2009 Vol. 17, Issue 4 THE GGUARDIANUARDIANEAST Vice President Visits KFOR: VP talks about the importance of the National Guard and the KFOR mission Official magazine of Multi-National Task Force-East Aiming for Gold The Right Tune Misfits KFOR Timeline “Defeat Complacency” “Leadership Is Developmental” Brig. Gen. Keith D. Jones MNTF-E Commander Halfway there: I believe, during this edition of the Guardian East, it is absolutely appropriate to reflect on the fact that, with the advent of the month of June, we are halfway through our deployment. I’m sure that this is not only a reflection point for us here in Kosovo, but for family and friends who await our return to our respective home states. I would guess that, for most of us, the halfway mark has come fast. It certainly has for me. First, with a bit of nostalgia, it seems like yesterday we accepted our guidons and uncased colors: Task Force Med Falcon shared the uncasing of their colors in the clamshell along with members of the KOA and KOS medical community, the maneuver and aviation battalion task forces and Special Troops Battalion (STB) TOA’s uncased their colors in their respective South Town/North Town gyms and clamshells, the EOD accepted their guidon following the traditional EOD sendoff explosion (followed by a not-so-traditional snowball fight), STB’s HHC held a very dignified ceremony in the South Town Theater, following quote from FM 3-07, where it defines what it calls “the and the LMT and MP transferred guidons in appropriate and essence of Stability Operations” by stating that “time may be the dignified ceremonies. -

Der Krieg Gegen Die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien 1999
Der Krieg gegen die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien - 24. März bis 10./20. Juni 1999 Inhalt 1. Zum Luftkrieg Verteidiger, Angreifer und die Verluste 2. Zum Hintergrund des Krieges: Literaturtips und einige Beiträge 3. Zu allen Zeiten: Propaganda 4. Die "Helden" der US-Air-Force: 509th Bomb Wing 5. Dokumentierte Abschüsse: F-117-Abschuß durch MiG-21 und Fla-Rakete MiG-29-Abschuß durch F-15 Eagle 6. andere Berichte: Links 1. Zum Luftkrieg Die jugoslawische Luftverteidigung Die jugoslawischen Luftabwehr hatte vorwiegend verschiedene sowjetische Raketensysteme in ihrem Bestand. Die etwa 60 bis 68 selbstfahrenden Systeme SA-6 Kub sollen besonders wirksam gegen tief fliegende Kampfflugzeuge und Raketen in einer Reichweite von 100 bis 200 Kilometern sein. Hinzu kamen noch - in geringen Stückzahlen - bei der Luftverteidigung die SA-8b, SA-9 und SA- 13. Die stationären Systeme SA-2 und SA-3 schützten vor allem die großen Städte, Militäreinrichtungen sowie wichtige Industrieanlagen. Hiervon standen jeweils 60 Abschußvorrichtungen zur Verfügung. Die jugoslawischen Luftstreitkräfte waren in zwei Fliegerkorps, eine Aufklärungsstaffel sowie eine Lufttransportbrigade unterteilt. Die "westlichen" Schätzungen der Stückzahlen an Flugzeugen schwanken zwischen 225 und 252 Maschinen [Zahlendreher?]. Gesichert scheint, zu Beginn des Krieges, der Bestand an 16 MiG-29 (darunter 2 zweisitzige Schulmaschinen) und 60 MiG-21. Die 65 Maschinen der jugoslawisch - rumänischen Koproduktion Soko Orao und die etwa 80 Maschinen vom Typ Galeb G-4 und G-2 sowie Jastreb sind als Trainer und leichte Erdkampfflugzeuge ausgelegt und dürften für Luftverteidigungsaufgaben nur sehr bedingt tauglich gewesen sein. Hinzu kamen rd. 70 Hubschrauber (andere Angaben sprechen von 110 oder gar 180) vom Typ Partizan (ca. -

The Histories, Volume 6, Number 1 2 I The United States Airborne Divisions, and Their Role on June 6,1944 By Dennis Carey ‘07 The United States Airborne Divisions that were dropped behind Utah Beach in the early morning hours of June 6,1944 played a critical role in the eventual success of Operation Overlord. On the evening of June 5th, General Eisenhower visited the men of the 101st Airborne division as they geared up in preparation for their jump. In making his rounds among the troops giving his words of encouragement, a paratrooper remarked “Hell, we ain’t worried General. It’s the Krauts that ought to be worrying now.”1 This is just one example of the confidence and fortitude that the men of both the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions possessed on the eve of Operation Overlord. -

Second, it supports judge advocates by analyzing all data and information, developing lessons learned across all military legal disciplines, and by disseminating these lessons learned and other operational information to the Army, Marine Corps, and Joint communities through publications, instruction, training, and databases accessible to operational forces, world-wide. -
Crusade in Europe Dwight D
Crusade in Europe Dwight D. Eisenhower Doubleday & Company, Inc., New York, 1948 Signed by Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, Churchill, Truman, Marshall, MacArthur and fifteen other iconic wartime leaders with an extraordinary correspondence archive chronicling the campaign to secure the signatures between 1949 and 1957 This ranks among the most compelling pieces of Second World War memorabilia we have seen – a truly singular copy of the limited edition of Eisenhower’s war memoirs, signed by two American presidents, two British prime ministers, three U.S. secretaries of state, a first lady, thirteen legendary U.S. generals (one of whom became a president), and a British Field Marshal. Among the twenty-one signatories are two Nobel Peace Prizes recipients, two Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and more honorifics and awards than can plausibly be enumerated. Equally extraordinary is the accompanying archive of correspondence detailing how these signatures were collected by a Second World War veteran with remarkable persistence, resourcefulness, and no small amount of luck over a period of nearly a decade. ______________________________________________________________________________ Churchill Book Collector San Diego, CA, USA www.churchillbookcollector.com [email protected] 619-384-7992 The Signatures The signatures gathered in this book come from an unprecedented assemblage of civilian and military leaders who made the history that this book chronicles. ______________________________________________________________________________ Churchill Book Collector San Diego, CA, USA www.churchillbookcollector.com [email protected] 619-384-7992 The signatories include: Henry Harley “Hap” Arnold Bernard Mannes Baruch Omar Nelson Bradley James Francis “Jimmy” Byrnes Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill Mark Wayne Clark Lucius DuBignon Clay James Harold “Jimmy” Doolittle Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon Dwight David Eisenhower Mamie Doud Eisenhower Leonard Townsend Gerow Cordell Hull Douglas MacArthur George Catlett Marshall, Jr. -
