From the European Union's perspective, the main objective of territorial co-operation is reducing disparities in the levels of development between regions. ASCEND partners have epitomised this objective in their approach to the regeneration of former military land and heritage, in a project funded by Interreg IIIC, the specific financial instrument of the European Union supporting the development of partnerships to tackle economic, social and environmental challenges, and thereby strengthen regional economic and social cohesion. In sharing their information and experience ASCEND partners have embraced an issue that impacts on regions worldwide. They have used their combined expertise of many years of military withdrawal, and its economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts to suggest reuse opportunities for significant dockyard sites which once employed over 5,000 people; for defensive sets which include over sixty individual constructions; for barracks blocks capable of accommodating 23,000 soldiers; for fortified towns still home to over 100 residents; for sites redolent of an unfortunate and devastating past… The ASCEND Model Management Framework is the zenith of their collaboration. In addition to a detailed and considered analysis of the stages that optimise the success of a military regeneration project, the eight partners have shared their experience in 28 comprehensive case studies, and numerous smaller examples, all with excellent potential to transfer expertise. I am delighted that the INTERREG Community Initiative has contributed to the success of ASCEND, and moreover that the current partners have shown outstanding commitment to disseminating knowledge to other regions, who I am confident will perceive great value in their findings. This form of co-operation is the cornerstone of efforts to reduce disparities between regions and the value that this can add to EU regions must never be underestimated. ASCEND concludes as we embark on a new programming period for the European Union, promising a continuation of our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and expertise throughout a harmonious Europe. I wish everyone who uses the ASCEND Framework the greatest success with their regeneration projects. 2 Introduction from Richard Ashworth, MEP for South East England As Member of the European Parliament for South East England, I am very familiar with the ongoing regeneration at the former dockyard site in Chatham. I have followed its development over a number of years, visiting most recently in May 2006. I am delighted to witness that in common with all ASCEND partners, local, regional, national and European stakeholders continue to face the socio-economic challenges of their military legacy with commitment, innovation and enthusiasm. I am delighted moreover that sharing their experience with others remains at the core of all operational objectives. Commissioner Hübner emphasised in her introduction the importance of partnership working within successful territorial co-operation. One of the most valuable partnerships is the exchange between governments, and government departments, at European, national, regional and local levels - within regions and between regions. In this way, lessons learned are consolidated at their source, and imbued with renewed value as they are integrated in fresh initiatives. Moreover, important economies of funding can be achieved: territorial co-operation is about not reinventing the wheel. The ASCEND project highlights how European funding has added significant value to the domestic funding supporting many military regeneration projects across Europe, with more than half of the case studies included in this Framework having utilised European Funds in their development to date. Yet the absolute value of ASCEND has been in developing a substantial exchange mechanism to increase the initial investment of all government tiers in both value and scope. The value of the initial capital investment is significantly enhanced by the investment in transfer of expertise. European funding has thus twice enhanced many of ASCEND's case studies: impacting on the society, economy and environment of the site's locality, and then transporting this onto a European platform. Thanks to ASCEND, innumerable years of extensive expertise have been shared across eight partner regions. Through the publication of its Model Management Framework the fruits of their collaboration can be shared with an unlimited audience. The history of many of ASCEND's case studies is redolent of a Europe divided. Within the European Union today, citizens can live and work together freely, comparing their cultures, and understanding their differences. Today's Europe recognises the value of dialogue, and this is enshrined in the text that I am delighted to present to you. 3 Medway, United Kingdom. Geographical Location Medway is in the county of Kent, 50km from London and 75km from Dover. Size of population 251,100 inhabitants, expected to rise to 300,000 by 2021. Size of region 260km2 Administrative body Medway Council is a unitary authority (single tier local government authority). Military heritage in A section of the former Chatham Dockyard is public ownership owned and run by an Independent Charitable Trust, as is Fort Amherst. Other former dockyard land is used for a university complex, a large residential housing estate (St Mary's Island), and a commercial port. Military heritage in Fort Horsted - business headquarters, and private ownership incubation centre: Fort Clarence - private apartments: Fort Borstal - a private residence, with plans to open tourist accommodation: Fort Luton - a former model museum, now closed. Medway aspires to be “a city of culture, tourism, learning and enterprise”. Centred along its namesake river, Medway incorporates five main towns (Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham) and several smaller villages. Medway is growing both physically and economically. Its location in the Thames Gateway growth area has led to significant levels of regeneration investment from national government, with designated regeneration zones at the heart of Chatham and along the waterfront. Development depends initially on investment in flood defence and land remediation works to enable private sector investment. The Medway Waterfront Strategy aims to open up access to the River Medway and link the main development sites with riverside walks and cycleways. It is also an opportunity to concentrate development in existing PANORAMA OF THE RIVER MEDWAY urban areas, and thereby resist greenfield development. In 1995, Medway was the largest urban area in the country without a university. Yet by 2006, the Universities at Medway campus (a ground-breaking collaboration of four universities and a further education institute) had 6,000 students, and continues to expand. Medway's regeneration has been supported by over €130m from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), €36m from the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) and €43m from Medway Council.

  • Dymchurch Martello Tower No 24 KENT
    English Heritage Dymchurch Martello Tower No 24 KENT J G LOAD MA, FSA Inspector of Ancient Monuments Between 1793 and 1815 Britain was at War with the French Republic. After his campaigns in Italy, Egypt and Syria, Napoleon Bonaparte began extensive preparations to invade England. To counter the threatened invasion, the English built a chain of 74 Martello gun-towers along the Channel shores of Kent and East Sussex between 1805 and 1812. Of those that survive today, the Martello tower at Dymchurch is perhaps the best preserved. Fully restored and open to the public, it is dominated by an original 24-pounder gun carrying the cipher of King George III.

The Peace of Amiens, signed in March 1802, had ended nine years of war with Revolutionary France, but Napoleon's territorial ambitions in Europe and elsewhere were to ensure that peace was short-lived.

    Histos Supplement ( ) – SUBORDINATE OFFICERS IN XENOPHON’S ANABASIS * Luuk Huitink and Tim Rood Abstract : This chapter focuses on Xenophon’s treatment of divisions within the command structure presented in the Anabasis , and in particular on three military positions that are briefly mentioned—the taxiarch, ὑποστράτηγος , and ὑπολόχαγος . Arguing against the prescriptive military hierarchies proposed in earlier scholarship, it suggests that ‘taxiarch’ should be understood fluidly and that the appearance of both the ὑποστράτηγος and the ὑπολόχαγος may be due to interpolation. The chapter also includes discussion of two types of comparative material: procedures for replacing dead, absent, or deposed generals at Athens and Sparta in the Classical period, and the lexical development of subordinate positions with the prefix ὑπο -. Keywords : Xenophon, Anabasis , subordinate commanders, taxiarch, ὑποστράτηγος , ὑπολόχαγος . enophon’s Anabasis has more often been broadly eulogised for its supposed depiction of the X democratic spirit of the Greek mercenaries whose adventures are recounted than analysed closely for the details it o?ers about the command structure of this ‘wandering republic’. 1 When Xenophon’s presentation of * References are to Xenophon’s Anabasis unless otherwise specified.

  • Military Sites Are Part of Urban Monuments Which Are Also All
    REPAIR Thematic Network BASELINE STUDY BASELINE STUDY INTRODUCTION The withdrawal of the military presence from an urban area can happen suddenly, leading to extremely adverse socio-economic circumstances. This notably concerns small and medium sized urban areas where historically the military presence has dominated economic activity, providing much direct and indirect employment. These former military sites have excellent potential to act as the catalyst for urban socio-economic regeneration. Many of these sites consist of historic buildings, which may be considered critical assets. The challenge is to transform these abandoned military heritage sites into thriving sources of economic activity, employment and social cohesion. Our project will transfer identified good practice in the socio-economic re-use of military heritage sites and mainstreaming it to enable new regional development projects in other areas. Partner cities in the REPAIR Thematic Network share a common characteristic. The “sense of place” and identity has been shaped by significant presence of large swathes of military heritage buildings and sites, which military authorities have abandoned. The partners also share the major challenge of how to deliver the successful socio-economic and sustainable re-use of this abandoned military heritage so that it not only achieves economic competitiveness, in line with “Lisbon” and “Gothenburg” goals. The sites within the partner cities are a mixture of military installations from medieval to modern built heritage. The latter systems have witnessed recent de-militarisation. De- militarisation in the late twentieth century left a significant social and economic vacuum caused because the local economies were often dependent on military presence with the effect of mini “command” economies.

Since the early 50’s of the last century it was very much involved in exercises and training with the United States Air Force following the Agreements that Spain signed with the United States in 1953. That is why when Spain joined NATO in 1982 the Spanish Air Force was already somewhat familiar with NATO doctrine and procedures. In the following years, cooperation with NATO was increased dramatically through exercises and, when necessary, in operations. The Spanish Air Force is now ready and well prepared to contribute to the common defence of NATO nations and to participate in NATO led operations whenever the Spanish government decides to do so.
