Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

    The United Church of Canada in Canadian Literature by Elizabeth A. Hogan A Thesis Submitted to Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master Arts in Theology and Religious Studies March 1, 2016 Copyright Elizabeth A. Hogan, 2016 Approved: _________________________________ Rev. Dr. Robert Fennell Approved: _________________________________ Dr. Russell Perkin Approved: _________________________________ Rev. Dr. Hallett Llewellyn Date: ___________________________ The United Church of Canada in Canadian Literature Elizabeth A. Hogan Thesis Abstract This thesis traces the relationship of The United Church of Canada to the development of Canadian national identity in the years prior to Church Union, and in the first forty years of the denomination's history, with particular attention to the literary witness to this relationship manifest in a number of key works of Canadian literature. Major historical events and trends are surveyed in the history of the country and denomination in each of three historical periods -- from Confederation to Church Union, the Depression and Second World War, and 1945-1965 -- followed by an analysis of the way in which references to the United Church in various novels of each period reveal and reflect the denomination's changing influence on and relationship to Canadian identity. March 1, 2016 i Submitted with Thanks to Rev. Dr. Rob Fennell, Supervisor, for his manifestations of diligence (in reading, commenting, and correcting footnotes), temperance (and unshakeable calm), trust (that this would happen), usefulness (in offering excellent advice); and for his commitment to education and service (to which the existence of this thesis bears witness).

  • Afghanistan Statistics: UK Deaths, Casualties, Mission Costs and Refugees
    Research Briefing Number CBP 9298 Afghanistan statistics: UK deaths, By Noel Dempsey 16 August 2021 casualties, mission costs and refugees 1 Background Since October 2001, US, UK, and other coalition forces have been conducting military operations in Afghanistan in response to the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. Initially, military action, considered self-defence under the UN Charter, was conducted by a US-led coalition (called Operation Enduring Freedom by the US). NATO invoked its Article V collective defence clause on 12 September 2001. In December 2001, the UN authorised the deployment of a 5,000-strong International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to deploy in, and immediately around, Kabul. This was to provide security and to assist in the reconstruction of the country. While UN mandated, ISAF continued as a coalition effort. US counter terrorism operations under Operation Enduring Freedom remained a distinct parallel effort. In August 2003, NATO took command of ISAF. Over the next decade, and bolstered by a renewed and expanded UN mandate,1 ISAF operations grew 1 UN Security Council Resolution 1510 (2003) commonslibrary.parliament.uk Afghanistan statistics: UK deaths, casualties, mission costs and refugees into the whole country and evolved from security and stabilisation, into combat and counterinsurgency operations, and then to transition. Timeline of major foreign force decisions • October 2001: Operation Enduring Freedom begins. • December 2001: UN authorises the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). • August 2003: NATO assumes ISAF command. • June 2006: ISAF mandate expanded. • 2009: Counterinsurgency operations begin. • 2011-2014: Three-year transition to Afghan-led security operations. • October 2014: End of UK combat operations.

  • 200 Jaar Militaire Willems-Orde N De Relatie Tussen Fysieke En Morele Moed N an Evolutionary Perspective on War Heroism
    Jaargang 184 nummer 3 - 2015 MILITAIRE SPECTATOR 200 jaar Militaire Willems-Orde n De relatie tussen fysieke en morele moed n An Evolutionary Perspective on War Heroism De Militaire Spectator vanaf nu ook digitaal www.militairespectator.nl THEMANUMMER MEDEDELING Masteropleiding Military Strategic Studies aan de NLDA De Faculteit Militaire Wetenschappen verzorgt een modulaire Engelstalige wetenschappelijke masteropleiding. Deze erkende en geaccrediteerde opleiding, Military Strategic Studies, start weer in september 2015. De breed opgezette master bestudeert de rol van het militaire instrument binnen de context van hedendaagse veiligheidspolitieke vraagstukken. De master bestaat uit vier verplichte courses. Daarnaast dient men een keuze te maken uit een van de drie afstudeerrichtingen (tracks) van elk vier courses: - War Studies - Intelligence & Security - Military Management & Logistics De tracks worden gecompleteerd met een elective. Het volgen van een of meer losse courses (elk 5 EC) is ook mogelijk. Na positieve afronding ontvangt de student een certificaat. De inhoud De master geeft een grondig inzicht in de functie van krijgsmachten in diverse soorten contemporaine conflicten. Het gaat om conventionele oorlogen zoals Iraqi Freedom, etnische conflicten en burgeroorlogen zoals in de Balkan, optreden als onderdeel van een diplomatiek offensief zoals tijdens Allied Force boven Kosovo, of inzet ten behoeve van statebuilding zoals in Afghanistan. Daarbij komen de politieke, maat- schappelijke en wetenschappelijke analyses, debatten en theorievorming aan de orde, evenals de juridische en ethische vraagstukken rond legitimering van militair optreden. Verder besteedt de studie aandacht aan de interne managementdynamiek van defensieorganisaties en de positie van krijgsmachten binnen moderne westerse maatschappijen. Naast logistieke thema’s wordt ook stilgestaan bij de economische en psychologische dimensie van het krijgsbedrijf.
