Updated January 2021 MicroMark Catalogue JANUARY 2021 WARGAMES ARMY LISTS Organisation Charts for The Cold War 1950 -1989, Indo-Pakistan, Korea, Vietnam, Cyprus 1974, Ogaden War 1977-1978, African wars Middle East Wars 1948 -2006 Ultra-Moderns 1990+, Anti-Taliban War 2001+ Russia-Georgia War 2008 Ukraine 2014 and other post 1945 conflicts. THIS CATALOGUE INCLUDES ALL RELEASES UP TO & INCLUDING SALES SHEET ADD62 Sample file PAGE 1 Updated January 2021 MicroMark Welcome to the 19th MicroMark catalogue detailing army organisations for post 1945 conflicts and potential conflicts. What is an "army list"? it was once asked. From MicroMark, it is an A4 colour coded card sheet detailing the organisation and equipment of a particular brigade or division. Starting with combat battalions, details of squad sizes and heavy weapons within platoons are recorded, along with all support weapons, armoured vehicles, guns etc. from battalion support units. Further sections cover all combat from regiment level batteries to Army level heavy tanks and super heavy artillery and missile units. A Notes section concludes with details of allocation of radios, infantry anti-tank weapons, night- fighting equipment, as well as date restrictions as appropriate. MicroMark army lists are unique in that they are available individually - no need to buy a whole book for that one army you are interested in! This means that customers can build up their collection of lists at a rate suitable to them, perhaps as their different armies are being built up. It also means that as new sources of information are discovered, updated lists can be produced quickly (no need to wait 5 years for the second edition book....). Where MicroMark lists surpass all rivals is that all known combat units are listed (including engineers), and no points values are included - i.e. they are not tied to any particular rules system. Thus MicroMark lists are suitable whether you skirmish in 20mm/25mm or fight Corps level battles in 2mm! They are ideally suited for 1/300 (6mm), 1/285 and 1/200 gamers who fight with battalions. Not only are MicroMark lists unique in format, but they are the most wide ranging - post 1990s modern, currently unavailable elsewhere. Less well known wars are covered, such as the Arab-Israeli 1948 and 1956 wars, and Korean War. How about the Irish Army 1970s and 1990s for unusual? New – 1950s Aggressor Force lists, for the ultimate what-if games. MicroMark like to be consumer responsive - if you do not see a list for a unit you require, please write and ask, we'll see what can be done. In addition, if anyone has information that is not on a list, or contradicts details recorded on lists, then please send it in. Such help will be rewarded.

Blottenberger 18th Military Police Brigade Public Affairs CAMP VICTORY, Iraq— In eager silence Soldiers of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 18th Military Police Brigade walked through manmade paths aligned with barriers on their way from Baghdad International Airport to Camp Victory here. Soldiers from the 18th Military Police Brigade deployed from Mannheim Germany, recently completed their final stage of in pro- cessing and training into the Middle Eastern theater in Kuwait, and arrived here in Iraq to their final destination for its upcoming 15 month deployment mission. The final training and in-processing in Kuwait focused on tasks specific for this area of operation. (Photo by Cpl. Nathan Hoskins, 1st ACB, 1st Cav. Div.

  • The Beginnings of Radio Habana Cuba

    The Beginnings of Radio Habana Cuba

    The Beginnings of Radio Habana Cuba by José Altshuler, Dr.Sc.* The first decade of the 20th century saw the installation and regular operation of the first radio communication stations in Cuba, using De Forest and Telefunken low- and medium- frequency spark transmitters to provide wireless telegraphy services, essentially ship-shore. By 1916, in the context of World War I, the Cuban government equipped its station at the entrance of the bay of Havana with a 20 kW transmitter so that it could reach “the United States and [...] any ship 500 miles or more from the island” [5]. Radio broadcasting began in 1922, initially in an amateurish way, and shortly after with a 500 watt medium-wave transmitter installed and operated in Havana by ITT through its subsidiary, the Cuban Telephone Company. Erected with a view to enhancing the corpo- rate image of ITT, the facility was one of the nine most powerful ones in the Western hemisphere at the time [6]. Commercial broadcasting expanded rapidly from 29 medium- wave stations operating in 1923 to 81 in 1935, when the number of radio receivers in the country was about 45 000 [3]. By the end of 1933, the first shortwave commercial broadcasting station was in- stalled. A few other low-power shortwave transmitters went into regular operation afterwards for the purpose of serving the interior of the country, but they were not effective enough and most of them were put off after some time. Only a few low-power shortwave broadcasting stations remained in operation in Cuba in the 1950s, each one dedicated to the simultaneous transmission of the ordinary commercial programs broadcast by associated medium-wave stations serving a national audience.

    Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War

    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

    Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security

    Order Code RL31339 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security Updated March 29, 2006 Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security Summary Operation Iraqi Freedom succeeded in overthrowing Saddam Hussein, but Iraq remains violent and unstable because of Sunni Arab resentment and a related insurgency, as well as growing sectarian violence. According to its November 30, 2005, “Strategy for Victory,” the Bush Administration indicates that U.S. forces will remain in Iraq until the country is able to provide for its own security and does not serve as a host for radical Islamic terrorists. The Administration believes that, over the longer term, Iraq will become a model for reform throughout the Middle East and a partner in the global war on terrorism. However, mounting casualties and costs — and growing sectarian conflict — have intensified a debate within the United States over the wisdom of the invasion and whether to wind down U.S. involvement without completely accomplishing U.S. goals. The Bush Administration asserts that U.S. policy in Iraq is showing important successes, demonstrated by two elections (January and December 2005) that chose an interim and then a full-term National Assembly, a referendum that adopted a permanent constitution (October 15, 2005), progress in building Iraq’s security forces, and economic growth. While continuing to build, equip, and train Iraqi security units, the Administration has been working to include more Sunni Arabs in the power structure, particularly the security institutions; Sunnis were dominant during the regime of Saddam Hussein but now feel marginalized by the newly dominant Shiite Arabs and Kurds.

  • Hard Lessons in the Holy Land

    Hard Lessons in the Holy Land

    Hard Lessons in the Holy Land Joint Fire Support in the Yom Kippur War By Jimmy McNulty On October 6 th , 1973, a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. This would spark what would become known as the Yom Kippur War, and would threaten Israel’s very existence. Although it was a brief conflict, the Yom Kippur War would forever transform the Middle East, and would have lasting global impacts. Its military significance is often overshadowed by the concurrent Vietnam War, and is often not afforded the thorough analysis it deserves. The Yom Kippur War would see the introduction of new tactics and technologies that would change how conflicts are fought, and would provide a number of sobering lessons to all participants. The focus of this essay will be on joint fire support, analysing how each of the participants employed their fire support assets, the impact their fire support assets had on operations, and the lessons learned that can be applied to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operations. Prior to examining the actual conduct of the Yom Kippur War, it is necessary to outline a number of key concepts regarding joint operations. Joint operations involve two or more military environments (army, navy, air force) working together to plan and execute operations, rather than working separately. 1 Joint operations require interoperability and synchronization between the different military environments under the command of a single Joint Task Force (JTF) commander in order to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the force.

Griech-Polelle, Advisor Marc V. Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Bill Allison Michael E.
