WILLIAMS, GENE GERMANOVICH, STEPHEN WEBBER, GABRIELLE TARINI Unlocking NATO’s Amphibious Potential Lessons from the Past, Insights for the Future orth Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members maintain amphibious capabilities that provide versatile and responsive forces for crisis response and national defense. 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. Given NATO’s ongoing concerns over Russia’s military posture and malign behavior, allies with amphibious capabilities have also been exploring how these forces could contribute to deterrence or, if needed, be employed as part of a C O R P O R A T I O N combined and joint force in a conflict against a highly some respects, NATO’s ongoing efforts harken back to the capable nation-state.

    During the month of September, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, commemorates the WWII events that occurred during OPERATION MARKET GARDEN in 1944. On September 15tn, word came down for a proposed jump ahead of Gen. Dempsey’s British Second Army. The mission called for the Airborne Army to descend from the skies and occupy bridges over the extensive waterways of Southern and Central Holland. The 504th, jumping as part of the 82nd Airborne Division, was to descend 57 miles behind enemy lines in the vincity of Grave, Holand and take the longest span bridge in Europe over the Maas River, along with two other bridges over the Maas-Waal Canal. At 1231, pathfinder men of the 504th landed on the DZ and thus became the first Allied troops to land in Holland; 34 minutes later the regiment “hit the silk” and the greatest airborne invasion in history was officially on The 2nd BN, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR), was given the mission to take the bridge over the Maas River. E Company of the 2nd BN, 504th was to jump south of the Maas River while the remainder of the 2nd BN would descend north of the river. The Hero of this article is 1LT John Thompson, who was 27 years old and the Platoon Leader of 3rd Platoon E Company, 2nd BN, 504th PIR . His mission was to take the southern end of the grave bridge over the Maas River. At fifteen hundred feet long, with nine spans, the bridge was the largest and most modern in all of Europe.

Our need in the future is for flexible and adaptable armed forces properly supported to carry out the most likely expeditionary operations. To create a more sustainable and affordable force structure which better meets these operational requirements we have secured additional resources: the 2004 Spending Review allocated £3.7 billion to defence across the Spending Review period, which represents an average real terms increase of 1.4% a year.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

Just 4 weeks later, the regime was removed and most of Iraq was under coalition control. The success of the military campaign owed much to the determination and professionalism of the coalition’s Armed Forces and the civilians who supported them. I regret that, during the course of combat operations and subsequently, a number of Service personnel lost their lives. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. The UK is playing a full part in the re-building of Iraq through the establishment of conditions for a stable and law-abiding Iraqi government. This process will not be easy after years of repression and neglect by a brutal regime. Our Armed Forces are performing a vital and dangerous role by contributing to the creation of a secure environment so that normal life can be resumed, and by working in support of humanitarian organisations to help the Iraqi people.

  • The Pegasus Ethos 16 AIR ASSAULT BRIGADE
    16 AIR ASSAULT BRIGADE The Pegasus Ethos MOD0016275 Pegasus Etho v2_1.indd 1 27/04/2016 14:54 Introduction The demands placed upon the Airborne soldiers of 16 Air Assault Brigade remain as significant as ever. Of course the world has been transformed since the first British Airborne Forces were raised in 1941, however the nature of conflict remains unchanged. Like those who went before us, we remain at the tip of the spear of the Army; ready to deploy around the world, by whatever means necessary, to serve the interests of our Nation. The Army’s Values and Standards and the Army Leadership Code are its bedrock. Airborne operations and high readiness demand an even higher standard to ensure that we will win in any field of battle or endeavour. The Pegasus Ethos defines the qualities that our role demands. We wearers of the Pegasus flash and the maroon beret are the cus- todians of a history of which we are rightly proud. Our duty is to pro- tect and build upon the legacy of our forebears, ensuring that we hand to the next generation an enhanced reputation and capability. We achieve this by living the Army Leadership Code and the Pegasus Ethos. Every member of the Airborne Forces is responsible for reading and implementing this short booklet. Ad Unum Omnes - all to one end.
