PREFACE 1. Purpose This multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) publication for Military Diving Operations (MDO) serves as a reference to ensure effective planning and integration for diving operations.

Scope This MTTP describes United States (US) military dive mission areas, force structure, equipment, and primary missions each Service could provide, in support of joint operations, to assist commanders and staffs at all levels. 3. Applicability This MTTP publication applies to all commanders and their staffs that participate in diving operations across the Services. 4.

LAMBERTSEN 1917–2011 Elected in 1977 “For contributions to environmental science and to diving physiology and technology.” BY TOM HAWKINS SUBMITTED BY THE HOME SECRETARY CHRISTIAN J. LAMBERTSEN, a distinguished scientist, medical doctor, inventor, environmentalist, pioneer in undersea and aerospace medicine, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine for his entire adult life, died on February 11, 2011, at the age of 93. He excused himself from daily activities at the university only in the past several years, when he was forced to slow down because of physical incapacitation. He was held in especially high regard by the U.S. Navy SEALs, who considered him a friend, mentor, and “Father of U.S. Combat Swimming,” a title he very much appreciated. Dr. Lambertsen received a B.S. degree from Rutgers University in 1938 and his M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1943. His extraordinary lifetime of accomplishments began during involvement with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II when, as a 23-year-old medical student, he presented his invention of a self-contained underwater swimming apparatus. Once developed, it was called the Lambertsen Lung and eventually the Lambertsen Amphibious Respiratory Unit (or simply LARU). The LARU would enable a well-trained swimmer to work bubble-free underwater and thus operate around 151 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

  • U.S. Navy Diver
    U.S. Navy Diver Requirements, Training and Rate Information for Navy Diver (ND) Updated: May 2016 Job Description: Navy Diver’s (ND) conduct and supervise diving operations using all types of underwater breathing apparatus which include open circuit SCUBA, closed and semi­closed mixed gas underwater breathing apparatus, surface supplied air and mixed gas diving systems and equipment and saturation diving systems. Their duties include use of explosive demolitions, small arms proficiency and (command specific) parachute operations. The NAVY DIVER (ND) rating performs multiple missions depending on the command a member is assigned. Salvage Operations: Navy Divers perform open ocean, harbor and combat/expeditionary ​ salvage operations. These operations are conducted in water up to 300 feet deep and range from salvaging entire ships and aircraft to recovering debris spread over miles of ocean floor using state of the art mixed­gas diving systems, high­tech ROV equipment and explosives for clearing channels and waterways. Battle Damage and Ship Repair Operations: Highly ​ complex underwater repairs to surface ships and submarines is a mainstay of the Navy Diver. Ships damaged in battle or requiring maintenance must be fixed to keep the fleet operational. From placing cofferdams for flood prevention during repairs to replacing 80 ton ship propellers, if it's under the waterline, Navy Divers are called to complete the job. Battle Damage and Ship repair operations require the use of state of the art diving equipment, underwater cutting and welding, Non­Destructive testing, digital video equipment, complex rigging operations, hydraulic tool systems and precision demolition materials. Special Warfare Supporting Operations: A growing area of the ​ Navy Diving field is supporting the underwater operations of the SO and EOD communities.

  • Peacetime Espionage, International Law and the Existence of Customary Exceptions I˜Naki Navarrete† & Russell Buchan‡
    \\jciprod01\productn\C\CIN\51-4\CIN403.txt unknown Seq: 1 8-APR-19 15:07 Out of the Legal Wilderness: Peacetime Espionage, International Law and the Existence of Customary Exceptions I˜naki Navarrete† & Russell Buchan‡ This Article demonstrates that peacetime espionage does not benefit from permissive customary international law exceptions. The mainstream view contends that, though peacetime espionage may contravene interna- tional law, developments in customary international law (CIL) nevertheless undercut State responsibility for such conduct. The gist of this view is that acts of espionage benefit from permissive CIL exceptions because its prac- tice is widespread and accepted within the international society. However, the mainstream literature has rarely— if ever— meaningfully engaged with the practice of espionage in an effort to tease out the objective and subjec- tive elements supportive of customary espionage exceptions. This Article closes this gap and debunks the mainstream view. We show that, although widespread, most acts of espionage are committed in secret and, as such, they cannot qualify as State practice for the purpose of CIL formation. We further demonstrate that States have failed to issue expressions of the sub- jective element in support of customary espionage exceptions. We con- clude by suggesting that, while States are entitled to develop customary espionage exceptions in the future, for now they have yet to come out of the legal wilderness.

  • Volume 6, Number 1
    The Road Not Taken: a Journal of Formal Poetry Winter 2012 • Winter Issue TO OUR READERS: as I'm sure you're all aware, it's about time for the spring issue. However, due to technical issues with this website, we're are going to have to rebuild entirely from the ground up. This will happen in May. With the new website will come the Spring issue. And it will happen at this URL, so please be patient with us. Welcome to our Winter 2012 Issue. This is my first issue in the wake of the passing of Lee, but I will honor his tradition and begin with a tribute to a formal poet from the past of surpassing virtue. I would like to introduce our readers to a little-known Welsh poet, Huw Menai. "Huw", for those of you who are not Welsh speakers, is pronounced like the English "Hugh". "Menai" was his pen name. His real name was Huw Menai Williams. He was a Welsh miner through the early Twentieth Century. Despite this life lived underground, he produced a large volume of poetry, much of it on spare bits of mining company paper. At the rate he was producing, of course it wasn't all going to be stellar. But he did produce some real gems. His four volumes of poetry sold modestly through the mid fifties into the early sixties and then went out of print. I think my collection of his work is perhaps the only complete one in the United States. I will give you my favorite below.
