Assuming for the moment that there was but one act done by the accused, interna- tional law has long recognized the possibility of the existence of two concurrent jurisdictions .... In this case, jurisdiction in the United States springs from its personal supremacy over the indi- vidual, while Canadian jurisdiction is founded upon its sovereignty in the place where the offense occurred.'

HUMINT: a Continuing Crisis? by W
http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/humint-a-continuing-crisis HUMINT: A Continuing Crisis? by W. R. Baker Journal Article | May 8, 2017 - 8:12am A Small Wars Journal and Military Writers Guild Writing Contest Finalist Article HUMINT: A Continuing Crisis? W. R. Baker Before Vietnam completely fades from memory and its lessons learned gather even more dust, it might be worth exploring a few issues that will likely resurface again. During the latter months of the Vietnam War (1971-72), the United States was actively sending units home, turning facilities and functions over to the South Vietnamese and to U.S. forces located elsewhere before the 29 March 1973 deadline for all U.S. forces to be out of the country. In January 72, President Nixon announced that 70,000 troops would be withdrawn by 1 May 72, reducing the troop level in Vietnam to 69,000. Beginnings I was assigned in 1971 to the 571st Military Intelligence Detachment in Da Nang, the unit primarily ran Human Intelligence (HUMINT) operations throughout I Corps in northern South Vietnam. I was quickly exposed to Viet Cong (VC), North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and friendly forces’ activity in our area of interest. As such it was evident that South Vietnamese forces that had taken part in Lam Son 719 in Laos were licking their wounds - even the much touted 1st Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Division, garrisoned in Hue had been severely crippled in this failed campaign in 1971. We also dealt with other foreign country units, i.e., South Korean, who left I Corps a few months after I arrived, in addition to ARVN commanders and secret police officials. -

New Vietnam War Exhibit Opens Aboard USCGC TANEY
VOLUME XIX, ISSUE NUMBER 1 Spring 2017 New Vietnam War Exhibit Opens Aboard USCGC TANEY A new exhibit has opened in the Ward Room aboard USCGC TANEY. "To Patrol and Interdict: Operation Market Time" uses artifacts, images, motion picture footage and models to tell the story of USCGC TANEY's 1969-70 deployment to Vietnam within the context of the wider war. The creation of "To Patrol and Interdict" was a truly cooperative enterprise which used the combined resources of Historic Ships in Baltimore, the AMVETS Department of Maryland, and numerous TANEY sailors from the Vietnam era to pull together a compelling exhibit with a broad range of features. Professionally produced text and graphics panels were paid for through a donation from AMVETS, the well-known veterans service and advocacy organization. Special thanks to former TANEY crew who provided many compelling artifacts for the exhibit. These include a spent 5"/38 caliber cartridge casing from one of the ship's 1969 gunfire support missions, courtesy of CAPT Ted Sampson, USCG (Ret) who had served as CIC Officer during the deployment. Artifacts include a South Vietnamese Another gift from a TANEY sailor was a DVD transfer fishing boat flag, memorabilia collected of film footage showing many of TANEY's patrol by crew and a vintage Coast Guard enlisted tropical dress white uniform. evolutions, such as boarding and searching Vietnamese vessels, naval gunfire support missions, and underway replenishment in the South China Sea. The footage, which came courtesy of CAPT Jim Devitt (Ret), who had been TANEY's First Lieutenant in Vietnam, also includes scenes from many of the foreign ports visited such as Hong Kong, Bangkok, Sasebo, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan. -
Comsubforpac USS SCULPIN (SS 191)
USS Sculpin (SS 191) Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet USS SCULPIN (SS 191) November 19, 1943 - 62 Men Lost En route to Johnston Island, SCULPIN, under Cmdr. Fred Connaway, left Pearl Harbor on 5 November 1943. After topping off with fuel, she left Johnston on 7 November to conduct her ninth patrol in an area in the Caroline Islands. Her mission was to support the action of our surface forces in the Gilbert Islands by intercepting and attacking any enemy forces which might be proceeding from Truk toward the Marshall Islands to oppose our surface forces. She was to leave her area on 14 December, and return to Pearl Harbor, stopping at Johnston for fuel if necessary. SCULPIN was not heard from following her departure from Johnston Island on 7 November. During the patrol, Commander John P. Cromwell (promoted Captain during the patrol) was aboard SCULPIN. He was to take charge of a coordinated attack group consisting of SCULPIN, SEARAVEN, and either APOGON or SPEARFISH, if formation of the group were directed by dispatch. Should the group be ordered formed, Captain Cromwell would transmit his orders to them by low frequency radio from SCULPIN. On the night of 29 November, the vessels were directed to form and APOGON was named as the third member of the group. When Captain Cromwell gave no rendezvous orders after 40 hours, ComSubPac sent new orders. SCULPIN was to proceed immediately to Eniwetok, make a close observation, and report any enemy shipping. This was done in order to avoid confusion among the other submarines, and to determine whether SCULPIN was all right. -
