Rouland Washington, D.C. 2014 ENGAGING THE WORLD The ENGAGING THE WORLD series focuses on U.S. involvement around the globe, primarily in the post-Cold War period. It includes peacekeeping and humanitarian missions as well as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom—all missions in which the U.S. Air Force has been integrally involved. It will also document developments within the Air Force and the Department of Defense. GREAT GAME TO 9/11 GREAT GAME TO 9/11 was initially begun as an introduction for a larger work on U.S./coalition involvement in Afghanistan. It provides essential information for an understanding of how this isolated country has, over centuries, become a battleground for world powers.

The mishap crew (MC) were deployed and assigned to the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron (EECS), Kandahar Airfield (KAF), AFG. The MC consisted of mishap pilot 1 (MP1) and mishap pilot 2 (MP2). The mission was both a Mission Qualification Training – 3 (MQT-3) sortie for MP2 and a combat sortie for the MC, flown in support of Operation FREEDOM’S SENTINEL. MP1 and MP2 were fatally injured as a result of the accident, and the Mishap Aircraft (MA) was destroyed. At 1105L, the MA departed KAF. The mission proceeded uneventfully until the left engine catastrophically failed one hour and 45 minutes into the flight (1250:52L). Specifically, a fan blade broke free causing the left engine to shutdown. The MC improperly assessed that the operable right engine had failed and initiated shutdown of the right engine leading to a dual engine out emergency. Subsequently, the MC attempted to fly the MA back to KAF, approximately 230 nautical miles (NM) away.

    'FCSVBSZ 2020 Perspective EXPERT INSIGHTS ON A TIMELY POLICY ISSUE JAMES DOBBINS, JASON H. CAMPBELL, LAUREL E. MILLER, S. REBECCA ZIMMERMAN DDR in Afghanistan Disarming, Demobilizing, and Reintegrating Afghan Combatants in Accordance with a Peace Agreement ny final peace accord between the Afghan government and Taliban insurgents is expected to involve some restructuring of the Afghan Asecurity institutions, some amalgamation of Taliban elements into the national army and police, and some number of fighters on each side released from service and transitioning back into civilian life. Implementation of any Afghan peace agreement will be a multiyear effort. Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) are likely to result from rather than lead in the process, because disarmament in the presence of an armed adversary requires a level of trust that can only be built over time. The burden for designing and implementing these and most other aspects of a peace accord will fall principally on the Afghan parties. Given the Afghan security sector’s heavy dependence on U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) support, however, it is likely that the relevant Afghan government authorities will turn to the United States and its allies for advice in designing these aspects of an accord and help in carrying them out.

  • The Kushans and the Emergence of the Early Silk Roads
    The Kushans and the Emergence of the Early Silk Roads A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Departments of Archaeology and History (joint) By Paul Wilson Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2020 This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. 1 Abstract: The Kushans and the Emergence of the Early Silk Roads The Kushans were a major historical power on the ancient Silk Roads, although their influence has been greatly overshadowed by that of China, Rome and Parthia. That the Kushans are so little known raises many questions about the empire they built and the role they played in the political and cultural dynamics of the period, particularly the emerging Silk Roads network. Despite building an empire to rival any in the ancient world, conventional accounts have often portrayed the Kushans as outsiders, and judged them merely in the context of neighbouring ‘superior’ powers. By examining the materials from a uniquely Kushan perspective, new light will be cast on this key Central Asian society, the empire they constructed and the impact they had across the region. Previous studies have tended to focus, often in isolation, on either the archaeological evidence available or the historical literary sources, whereas this thesis will combine understanding and assessments from both fields to produce a fuller, more deeply considered, profile.

One such omitted event is the Turkish Mission to Kabul (1) of 1877, despatched in the name of the Sultan of Turkey Abdul Hamid II, but really en­ gineered by the local representatives of the British government in Calcutta and Constantinpole, against the expressed wishes of their superiors. Except a very casual ~eference in one or two contemporary works no mention seems to have been made of the mission in the works of history.
