  • 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.

Five U.S. shipyards participated in this study along with personnel from University of Michigan, Proteus Engineering, and Cybo Robots. Project participants have backgrounds in design, computer-aided design (CAD), n~anufacturingprocesses, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), production planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing/management (CIM). The results of this evaluation provided the basis for the CADICAMICIM Workshop presented in conjunction with the 1996 Ship Production Symposium, and will be used as background in Phase I1 of the project to develop requirements for future shipbuilding CADICAMICIM systems.

  • Music and Militarisation During the Period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus
    Music and Militarisation during the period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus Martha Susanna de Jongh Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Stephanus Muller Co-supervisor: Professor Ian van der Waag December 2020 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 (unless 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: 29 July 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In the absence of literature of the kind, this study addresses the role of music in militarising South African society during the time of the South African Border War (1966-1989). The War on the border between Namibia and Angola took place against the backdrop of the Cold War, during which the apartheid South African government believed that it had to protect the last remnants of Western civilization on the African continent against the communist onslaught. Civilians were made aware of this perceived threat through various civilian and military channels, which included the media, education and the private business sector. The involvement of these civilian sectors in the military resulted in the increasing militarisation of South African society through the blurring of boundaries between the civilian and the military.
