  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.

  • United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Engineers Manual
    United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Engineer Unit Manual September 2015 0 Preface We are delighted to introduce the United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Unit Manual on Engineers—an essential guide for commanders and staff deployed in peacekeeping operations, and an important reference for Member States and the staff at United Nations Headquarters. For several decades, United Nations peacekeeping has evolved significantly in its complexity. The spectrum of multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping includes challenging tasks such as helping to restore state authority, protecting civilians and disarming, demobilizing and reintegrating ex-combatants. In today’s context, peacekeeping Missions are deploying into environments where they can expect to confront asymmetric threats from armed groups over large swaths of territory. Consequently, the capabilities required for successful peacekeeping Missions demand ever-greater improvement. UN peacekeeping operations are rarely limited to one type of activity. While deployed in the context of a political framework supporting a peace agreement, or in the context of creating the conditions for a return to stability, peacekeeping Missions may require military units to perform challenging tasks involving the judicious use of force, particularly in situations where the host state is unable to provide security and maintain public order. To meet these complex peacekeeping challenges, military components often play a pivotal role in providing and maintaining a secure environment. Under these circumstances, the deployment of UN Military Engineers can contribute decisively towards successful achievement of the Mission’s goals by providing the physical wherewithal to exist, sustain and fulfill its mandate. As the UN continues its efforts to broaden the base of Troop Contributing Countries, and in order to ensure the effective interoperability of all UN Military Engineer Units, there is a need to formalize capability standards.

  • Major Equipment
    2020 WORKING GROUP ON CONTINGENT-OWNED EQUIPMENT TRIENNIEL REVIEW OF REIMBURSEMENT RATES NATIONAL COST DATA ANNEX A - MAJOR EQUIPMENT Guidelines for submission of cost data This Annex of the national cost data package is for Member States to submit cost information on the categories of major equipment listed in the Contingent-Owned Equipment (COE) Manual (A/72/288) While the categories of equipment are generic, the existing rates are based on cost data from Member States. The comprehensive review should revisit all assumptions, particularly the relationship between Generic Fair Market Value (GFMV), maintenance rate and monthly wet lease rate. The GFMV should be based on the best estimate of the weighted average GFMV. The complete list of major equipment, including the GFMV and current reimbursement rates from the COE Manual are enclosed in tab 3 of this Annex (Major Equipment table as per Chapter 8, annex A of the COE Manual- A/72./288). The Secretariat requests that Member States collect national cost data of the generic categories of major equipment, using 2018 as the base year to complete the national cost data information in tab 2 of this Annex. To assist the Secretariat in the consolidation of the spreadsheets, it would be appreciated if all national costs could be provided in US dollars. If major equipment was purchased prior to 2018, Member States should apply its inflation/deflation rate for the intervening period between the purchase date and 2018 to bring the national cost to the base year of 2018. For example, if a Member State purchased major equipment in 2017, that Member State should multiply the cost of the items with the relevant inflation/deflation rate and add that to the national cost in 2017 to reach the national cost in 2018.

  • The Move Towards Fully Automated Military Bridging Systems R.C
    Mobile and Rapidly Assembled Structures III, C.A. Brebbia & F.P. Escrig (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-817-1 The move towards fully automated military bridging systems R.C. Connor* & I.J. Dunn* Abstract The evolution of mobile military bridging illustrates how operational considerations and material developments are leading to more sophisticated concepts. Modular military bridge structures have traditionally been assembled and dismantled by hand using large numbers of small components, but the requirement to bridge longer spans, coupled with the need to reduce construction times and manpower has led to increased mechanisation. Semi-automated construction techniques are now well accepted in the Field Army. Remote control, teleoperation and fully autonomous bridging systems all offer operational benefits and some examples arc discussed. 1 Introduction The ability to cross both natural and man-made obstacles has always been crucial for good mobility and is vitally important for successful battlefield operations. The earliest Roman bridges used to support military operations were massive structures constructed using stone and timber. Although cast iron improved structures in the 1870s. it was only the advent of steel with its good tensile properties that dramatically improved designs. In recent years military bridges have been developed to carry heavier loads over increasingly wide gaps. The military bridge system of today employs sophisticated structures made up of modular components, designed and fabricated using advanced materials and launched using a variety of different techniques. The speed of deployment is vital in military operations. Requirements to reduce build times have led to fewer but larger modular components, typically weighing 1.5 tonne which has precluded manual construction.
