Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

  • The Axis and Allied Maritime Operations Around Southern Africa, 1939-1945
    THE AXIS AND ALLIED MARITIME OPERATIONS AROUND SOUTHERN AFRICA, 1939-1945 Evert Philippus Kleynhans Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Military Science (Military History) in the Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof I.J. van der Waag Co-supervisor: Dr E.K. Fedorowich December 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: December 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The majority of academic and popular studies on the South African participation in the Second World War historically focus on the military operations of the Union Defence Force in East Africa, North Africa, Madagascar and Italy. Recently, there has been a renewed drive to study the South African participation from a more general war and society approach. The South African home front during the war, and in particular the Axis and Allied maritime war waged off the southern African coast, has, however, received scant historical attention from professional and amateur historians alike. The historical interrelated aspects of maritime insecurity evident in southern Africa during the war are largely cast aside by contemporary academics engaging with issues of maritime strategy and insecurity in southern Africa.

  • 04 Chapters 8-Bibliography Burns
    159 CHAPTER 8 THE BRISBANE LINE CONTROVERSY Near the end of March 1943 nineteen members of the UAP demanded Billy Hughes call a party meeting. Hughes had maintained his hold over the party membership by the expedient of refusing to call members 1a together. For months he had then been able to avoid any leadership challenge. Hughes at last conceded to party pressure, and on 25 March, faced a leadership spill, which he believed was inspired by Menzies. 16 He retained the leadership by twenty-four votes to fifteen. The failure to elect a younger and more aggressive leader - Menzies - resulted in early April in the formation by the dissenters of the National Service Group, which was a splinter organisation, not a separate party. Menzies, and Senators Leckie and Spicer from Victoria, Cameron, Duncan, Price, Shcey and Senators McLeary, McBride, the McLachlans, Uphill and Wilson from South Australia, Beck and Senator Sampson from Tasmania, Harrison from New South Wales and Senator Collett from Western Australia comprised the group. Spender stood aloof. 1 This disturbed Ward. As a potential leader of the UAP Menzies was likely to be more of an electoral threat to the ALP, than Hughes, well past his prime, and in the eyes of the public a spent political force. Still, he was content to wait for the appropriate moment to discredit his old foe, confident he had the ammunition in his Brisbane Line claims. The Brisbane Line Controversy Ward managed to verify that a plan existed which had intended to abandon all of Australia north of a line north of Brisbane and following a diagonal course to a point north of Adelaide to be abandoned to the enemy, - the Maryborough Plan.

It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.

    CHAPTER 1 0 INDIAN OCEAN—MEDITERRANEAN INTERLUD E N November 1940 the R.A.N. had lost its first ship in the war when I the auxiliary minesweeper Goorangai was sunk in collision with a merchant ship in Port Phillip Bay. In June 1943 the navy lost its fifteenth ship in the war when the corvette Wallarool sank off Fremantle after a collision with a merchant ship . On 10th June Wallaroo (Lieutenant Ross, ' R.A.N.R.) sailed from Fremantle escorting two American merchant ships , John G. Whittier (7,176 tons), and Henry Gilbert Costin (7,200 tons) .

The convoy was then to disperse to the respective ocean routes of the ships, and Wallaroo was to return to port. When the dispersal point was reached—about 60 miles west of Fremantle—at midnight on the 10th, there was a moderate westerl y wind and moderate to rough sea, the moon had gone and the sky wa s overcast, with visibility about one mile .

    Thursday 30 October 2014 WHAT’S IN A (STREET) NAME Local street names like Anzac Avenue and Diggers Avenue are easy to identify as having a link to our WWI history. But what about Beltana Street and Monash Road? Beltana and Monash are two of the nineteen local streets identified as having direct WWI connections – either through a prominent soldier or an event - that will be identified with specially designed WWI commemorative signage as part of the Centenary of Anzac commemorations. Anzac Avenue in Denistone/West Ryde, will be the first street to receive the new Anzac Centenary street signage. Ryde’s Local Studies Librarian, Angela Phippen, said: “Street names are a direct link to the history of a place and through them you can get an understanding of your suburb’s heritage. “The high number of streets in the City of Ryde bearing a WWI connection is indicative of the huge impact WWI had on our young nation, and particularly on the local community from which an estimated 2,000 men and women enlisted to serve.” An interactive map showing the location of the local WWI named streets can be found on the Ryde Remembers section of the Council website www.ryde.nsw.gov.au/ryderemembers along with details of other local Centenary of Anzac activities, including the 2,000 POPPIES Project.
