US $ (Kanada 19%, Mexiko 13%, VR China 7%) Das TRUPPENDIENST-Spezial „Militär International 2014“ widmet sich den Streitkräften der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Kanadas. Militär International stellt auf Basis offener Quellen die Struktur der Streitkräfte unter Berück- sichtigung der Reorganisationsmaßnahmen dar. Die Streitkräfte der USA sind grundsätzlich den Unified Commands - dem Unified Command Plan folgend - unterstellt. Nach der Auflösung des U.S. Joint Forces Commands verbleiben neun solcher Kommanden, welche teilstreitkräfteübergreifend (Joint) organisiert sind. Folglich hat die regionale oder funktionale Zuordnung zu diesen Oberkommanden eine große Aussa- gekraft, die über die reine Zuordnung von Truppen zu den vier Teilstreitkräften hinausgeht. Es werden in gewohnter Weise die Teilstreitkräfte mit ihren Verbänden sowie die Anzahl der vorhandenen Waffensysteme dargestellt, während bei den Truppen der Unified Commands die Kräfte in ihren funktionalen oder geografischen Zuordnungen aufgelistet sind. Es werden, wenn verfügbar, immer die Bezeichnungen der Truppen angeführt, um auch nach einer eventuellen Umgliederung oder Änderung der Unterstellungsverhältnisse rasch die Zuordnung der Truppen zu ermögli- chen. Die Truppen werden grundsätzlich mit ihrer Originalbezeichnung angeführt und nicht nur nummerisch aufgelistet, was keine Unterscheidung ermöglichen würde. Der Tatsache, der vermehrten Einbeziehung der Nationalgarde und der Reserve in die Einsatzführung aller Teilstreitkräfte, wird durch die detaillierte Aufnahme dieser Kräfte in die Truppengliederung Rechung getragen. Eine Auflistung der Stationierung der U.S. Truppen in den einzelnen Ländern kann der beiliegenden Karte entnommen werden. Bei den Großverbänden werden, wo immer möglich die Stationierungsorte angeführt. Sowohl für die Streitkräfte der USA als auch für jene Kanadas ist zu berücksichtigen, dass sie für den Einsatz außerhalb des Heimatlandes optimiert sind. Reorganisationsmaßnahmen in Folge der Budgetkürzungen in den USA haben weitreichende Folgen für die Organisation und Ausstattung der Streitkräfte.

US $ Einsatzführung/Zusatzmittel: 80,720 Mrd. US $ 4 TRUPPENDIENST-SPEZIAL 3/2014 USA Kommandostruktur der U.S. Streitkräfte: Der U.S. Präsident ist der Oberkommandierende über alle U.S. Streitkräfte, während der Verteidigungsminister primär die administrative Kontrolle ausübt. Der Nationale Sicherheitsrat (NSC), der grundsätzlich aus dem Vize-Präsidenten, dem Außenminister, dem Finanzminister, dem Verteidigungsminister, dem Director of National Intelligence, dem Sicherheitsberater des Präsidenten sowie dem „Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff” besteht, berät den Präsidenten. Die Ministerien für die Teilstreitkräfte („Department of the Army”, „Department of the Air Force”, „Department of the Navy”, das auch die Angelegenheiten des U.S. Marine Corps wahrnimmt) unterstehen dem Verteidigungsminister. Neben der generellen Unterteilung der Teilstreitkräfte (U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force und U.S. Marine Corps) sind die U.S. Streitkräfte in strategische und konventionelle Kräfte geteilt. Die stra- tegischen Kräfte umfassen alle ICBM, SLBM, Bomber, Luftverteidigungssysteme und Überwachungssysteme. Die konventionellen Kräfte inkludieren alle Kräfte für nichtnukleare Aufgaben. Die Befehlskette beginnt beim U.S. Präsidenten und reicht über den Verteidigungsminister zu den „Combatant Commanders”. Die „National Command Authority” (NCA) wird durch den Präsidenten und den Verteidigungsminister wahrgenommen. Der Vorsitzende der „Joint Chiefs of Staff” ist in die Befehlskette insoferne integriert, als er Aufträge des Ministers und des Präsidenten an die „Combatant Commanders” übermittelt, er hat aber keine Befehlsgewalt über deren Kräfte, ist vielmehr das Bindeglied zwischen den „Combatant Commanders” und der „NCA”. Die Minister der Teilstreitkräfte stehen außerhalb dieser Befehlskette. Die Teilstreitkräfte unterstellen auf Weisung der „NCA” Truppen und Kommanden den „Unified Combatant Commands”. Die U.S Truppen unterstehen entweder den territorial verantwortlichen Kommanden: - USPACOM (U.S. Pacific Command) - oder den Kommanden mit globalen Aufgaben: - USNORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command) - USSTRATCOM (U.S. Strategic Command) - USEUCOM (U.S. European Command) - USTRANSCOM (U.S. Transportation Command) - USSOUTHCOM (U.S. Southern Command) - USSOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command) - USCENTCOM (U.S. Central Command) Die U.S. Coast Guard untersteht seit 1. 3. 2003 dem Department für Home- - USAFRICOM (U.S. Africa Command) land Security, das alle Belange der Sicherheit der USA zu koordinieren hat. Als Kommando der U.S. Streitkräfte steht dem Department for Homeland Security das U.S. Northern Command als Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung, das im Anlassfall Truppen aller Teilstreitkräfte für den Einsatz innerhalb der USA unterstellt bekommt. Dem Office of the Secretary of Defense sind 17 Defense Agencies und 10 Field Activities unmittelbar nachgeordnet.

  • The War Years
    1941 - 1945 George Northsea: The War Years by Steven Northsea April 28, 2015 George Northsea - The War Years 1941-42 George is listed in the 1941 East High Yearbook as Class of 1941 and his picture and the "senior" comments about him are below: We do know that he was living with his parents at 1223 15th Ave in Rockford, Illinois in 1941. The Rockford, Illinois city directory for 1941 lists him there and his occupation as a laborer. The Rockford City Directory of 1942 lists George at the same address and his occupation is now "Electrician." George says in a journal written in 1990, "I completed high school in January of 1942 (actually 1941), but graduation ceremony wasn't until June. In the meantime I went to Los Angeles, California. I tried a couple of times getting a job as I was only 17 years old. I finally went to work for Van De Camp restaurant and drive-in as a bus boy. 6 days a week, $20.00 a week and two meals a day. The waitresses pitched in each week from their tips for the bus boys. That was another 3 or 4 dollars a week. I was fortunate to find a garage apartment a few blocks from work - $3 a week. I spent about $1.00 on laundry and $2.00 on cigarettes. I saved money." (italics mine) "The first part of May, I quit my job to go back to Rockford (Illinois) for graduation. I hitch hiked 2000 miles in 4 days. I arrived at my family's house at 4:00 AM one morning.
