The Freedom Through Vigilance Association (FTVA) is a private, non-profit corporation established in 1981 and is dedicated to the support and perpetuation of the objectives of the USAF and USAF Security Service and its successor Commands/Agencies. We currently provide support to social, educational and humanitarian services of USAF in general and the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency and its subordinate organizations in particular. Principally located in San Antonio, TX, we have FTVA Chapters in Washington, DC (Capital Chapter) Honolulu, HI (Aloha Chapter); San Angelo, TX (Heritage Chapter); Yuba City, CA (Gold Coast Chapter); Florida (Sunshine Chapter); and the newest chapter, in Colorado, (Rocky Mountain Chapter). All former and current military/civilian members of USAFSS/AFISR Agency and its successor Commands/Agencies are eligible for membership. Surviving spouses of deceased personnel are eligible for associate member status. 3 FTVA HALL OF HONOR The Hall of Honor was created in 1983. It honors individuals who served USAFSS/ESC and its successor commands with great distinction and contributed immeasurably to successful mission accomplishment. The Hall of Honor preserves the legacy of those who have gone before, highlights their deeds, and honors their contributions to the nation. The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency together with the Freedom Through Vigilance Association, inducted four new members into the Hall of Honor during a ceremony held in the B. A. Larger Auditorium here Sept. 24. (Left: Maj Gen Otto and President Anthony display the 2011 HOH plaque.

    The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays on the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events. Brief A–Z entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross- referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, pho- tographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

  • THE VULNERABLE Our Military Problems and How to Fix Them
    AMERICA THE VULNERABLE Our Military Problems And How To Fix Them EDITED BY JOHN F. LEHMAN AND HARVEY SICHERMAN FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE PHILADELPHIA Dedication On a sad note, Colonel Harry G. Summers Jr., U.S. Army (ret.), who penned the article dealing with operations, procurement, and the defense industrial base and sat as a panelist for our second conference, passed away on November 14, 1999. Colonel Summers, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars, was the recipient of two Legions of Merit, the Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, two Air Medals, and two awards of the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, and also authored numerous books, articles, and columns. He was, in short, the quintessential soldier- scholar. We dedicate this volume to his memory. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface vii John H. Ball America the Vulnerable 1 John F.

  • State Intervention in Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions
    Balancing Power without Weapons Why do states block some foreign direct investment on national security grounds even when it originates from within their own security com- munity? Government intervention into foreign takeovers of domestic companies is on the rise, and many observers find it surprising that states engage in such behavior not only against their strategic and mil- itary competitors, but also against their closest allies. Ashley Thomas Lenihan argues that such puzzling behavior can be explained by recog- nizing that states use intervention into cross-border mergers and acqui- sitions as a tool of statecraft to internally balance the economic and military power of other states through non-military means. This book tests this theory using quantitative and qualitative analysis of transac- tions in the United States, Russia, China, and fifteen European Union states. It deepens our understanding of why states intervene in foreign takeovers, the relationship between interdependence and conflict, the limits of globalization, and how states are balancing power in new ways. ashley thomas lenihan is a fellow at the Centre for Inter- national Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Her research focuses on the relationship between state power and foreign direct investment from an international relations perspective.
