Maritime domain which is vital for global trade, also carry some threats such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; cross-border organized crime and irregular migration. With the developing technology, cyber threats have been added to these threats as well. Nowadays, COVID-19 which has been believed to create a new world order, has had serious effects on the maritime domain. In order to draw attention to this crucial issue in terms of maritime security, we planned to conduct Maritime Security Conference-2020 with the theme of “Maritime Security in Pandemic Environment” as our first diamond event in June 2020 right after the completion of NATO accreditation of our centre. However, it has to be postponed to September 16 and 17, due to this pandemic which has still been affecting the world on a large scale, including maritime domain. The aim of the conference was to provide a global and regional focus for maritime security and to discuss maritime security related issues including the challenges and I think the conference was quite fruitful and gave the opportunity to bring forward maritime security challenges, potential impacts of the COVID-19 on maritime security together with some solutions to deal with these challenges as much as possible. As I always emphasize that closer inter-agency cooperation with the universities and international organizations along with other stake holders of maritime security is indispensable to create a safer and more secure maritime environment. As a requirement of our concept and in order to support efforts in the field of maritime security at the highest level, this conference will be conducted annually with new challenging themes. I hope I may host you in İstanbul for the next conference in person rather than virtual. Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the moderators, speakers and presenters who contributed to our conference with their valuable presentations, to the conference core staff who worked with great devotion for running this organization smoothly and to those who actively participated in the conference with their questions and comments, last but not least to the conference academic committee who reviewed all the articles for the sake of conference. Sümer KAYSER Capt. (TUR-N) NATO MARSEC COE Director -6- MARSEC COE FOREWORD The Maritime Security Conference-2020 was an excellent platform to look at issues related to maritime security in a unique setting. Only a few months before the conference, a pandemic had started to spread, leading to many new and unexpected challenges. Navies and other maritime agencies also felt the impacts of these challenges. It was therefore important to identify lessons learned and to start discussions about maritime security in a pandemic environment as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the term 'maritime security' is not used in a systematic way, neither by academics nor by practitioners. In short, it means different things to different people. Even naval officers may have very different perspectives. Few navies are really capable of projecting power at sea, many others are essentially limited to law enforcement operations in their own country's Exclusive Economic Zone. In addition, there are many stakeholders outside of navies who are – broadly speaking – interested in maritime security. A secure environment at sea ensures that fishing grounds as well as maritime trade are protected, allows for offshore oil and gas production and enables coastal tourism to develop. Many other aspects could be named as well, but none of them are an end in itself. Governments should rather see maritime security as an enabler for economic growth and development as well as for the marine environment's protection. None of this has changed in the age of COVID-19. At the same time, the pandemic had a significant impact on the tactical and operational level, but also on the level of high-ranking military and political decision-makers. The articles in this book, based on presentations during the conference in September 2020, are not a complete summary of all these impacts. However, they underline the impacts of the pandemic in many different areas. Moreover, the authors provide thoughts and ideas which may help to solve issues in other areas. The staff at MARSEC COE must be commended for bringing such a broad range of experts in different fields together to stimulate further discussions. I am already looking forward to future courses, workshops and conferences hosted by MARSEC COE. The centre has already provided a large number of outstanding contributions to discussions around maritime security since its inception in 2012, and I am certain that many more will follow. Dr.Dirk SIEBELS Editör-In-Chief -7- MARSEC COE -8- MARSEC COE INTRODUCTION of THE KEY NOTE SPEAKER Vice Admiral Keith Blount, CB OBE Royal Navy Commander, Allied Maritime Command First let me congratulate MARSEC for its accreditation as a NATO Centre of Excellence by the North Atlantic Council. It is a recognition that you have the expertise and experience that will be of tremendous benefit to the Alliance. It is my desire to deepen and strengthen MARCOM’s links with MARSEC and with all the COEs. NATO is at its core a maritime Alliance. The clue is in the name, and that core aspect endures today. The Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black Sea and Baltic unite our nations geographically and strategically. MARSEC’s accreditation will help build and strengthen our Alliance, our understanding and our outreach across the region. I cannot stress enough the importance of this first conference and of its main theme of maritime security in a COVID-19 environment. As we are all acutely aware, the pandemic has had a massive impact on daily life, not only in terms of economic consequences, but simply by the manner in which we are able to carry out the day-to-day operations of our organisations. This includes things like: the facilitation of our workforce, the restructuring of our procedures and processes to adapt to teleworking, and the safe and calculated approach to bringing everyone back together in a safe new working environment as we are permitted to do so. And if those unexpected organisational challenges were not difficult enough, we would have been required to accomplish them while ensuring our missions continue -- and while continuing to employ safe measures to limit and minimize risks to our personnel. Because even as we know the devastating impact of COVID around the world, we also know that our competitors might be tempted by even the slightest glitch in our posture or smallest window of opportunity to exploit such a gap. On the maritime front, I am very proud of the resilience our forces have shown during these challenging times. On the surface, it may seem that there is an inherent advantage to being in the maritime domain during a pandemic.

These forces are routinely employed in maritime Nsecurity, noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO), counterterrorism, stability operations, and other missions. In addition to U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Navy forces, the Alliance’s amphibious forces include large ships and associated landing forces from five nations: France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK). Each of these European allies—soon to be joined by Turkey—can conduct brigade-level operations, and smaller elements typically are held at high readiness for immediate response.1 These forces have been busy. Recent exercises and operations have spanned the littorals of West and North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, the Caribbean, and the Pacific.

  • Davis-Monthan Afb 1940 - 1976 Preface
    DAVIS-MONTHAN AFB 1940 - 1976 PREFACE This history, in its final form, is the result of almost three years of off-and-on effort on the part of this historian. It has had to be sandwiched in between the myriad taskings associated with three different assignments. It began at Davis-Monthan AFB in 1979 while assigned there as the historian for the 390th Strategic Missile Wing. My research notes and supporting documents came with me when I was subsequently transferred to the Headquarters SAC Office of the Historian and then later to the 4000th Satellite Operations Group at Offutt AFB, Nebraska. The need for a complete base history became painfully obvious as soon as I began my initial research. There was very little data available at Davis-Monthan AFB concerning the history of the installation; other than a few short Information Office history handouts of the type often given to newcomers and visitors. The majority of substantive material on base activities over the years had been lost as host units switched repeatedly throughout the station’s existence. Those units were subsequently inactiviated or transferred to other bases. Accordingly, the majority of material presented herein had to be obtained at the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center, Maxwell AFB, Alabama. Without the invaluable assistance of the many dedicated professionals at the Simpson Center, this history could never have been compiled. The transfer of Davis-Monthan AFB from the Strategic Air Command to the Tactical Air Command on 30 September 1976 ends the period of
