FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Inzpire Limited Supports HMS Queen FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Inzpire Limited Supports HMS Queen Elizabeth Task Group with Carrier Strike Training on Exercise JOINT WARRIOR Training experts from Inzpire Limited’s collective training division have recently supported the HMS Queen Elizabeth Task Group with Carrier Strike Training through the provision of an independent white force on Exercise JOINT WARRIOR. Exercise JOINT WARRIOR saw the first F-35B Lightning II operational training missions launched from, and recovered to, a British carrier at sea. Inzpire’s experts also used their extensive white force experience to assist the QinetiQ Group with the development of an appropriate exercise management system for the Exercise. Inzpire were critical in the design, planning and delivery of all F-35B Lightning II elements of the Exercise and created detailed sortie profiles to challenge the embarked aircraft across a variety of mission sets. The preparatory work for this involved developing mission flows for the Red Air participants, the integration of dispersed ground based electronic warfare assets and the need to meet wider CSG Collective Training Objectives. Throughout the planning, Inzpire SMEs worked closely with Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff (JTEPS) to ensure that these tactical missions were coherent with the overall operational level scenario, and that any changes could be incorporated dynamically as exercise events unfolded. During the Exercise, Inzpire personnel were embedded with the JTEPS Exercise Control staff at HMNB Clyde to fulfil higher command, control and liaison functions, and assist the role players with specialist input. A second team of Inzpire staff operated from RAF Scampton to support the mission planning, execution and debrief of 2 major missions per day for the whole exercise period and subsequently designed and delivered comprehensive post-mission debriefs. Richard Tattersall, Inzpire’s head of collective training, said: “Inzpire is extremely proud to have been chosen to provide White Force support to Ex JOINT WARRIOR 20-2. Working alongside 617 Squadron and VMFA-211 Service personnel has allowed us to contribute meaningfully to the development of a key national programme, and understand better how to employ 5th Generation capabilities in live and synthetic training environments.” Exercise JOINT WARROR is part of a series of increasingly complex training serials that are designed to test all aspects of operating an aircraft carrier in a wider, multinational construct. Successful completion of this training programme will lead to the endorsed certification of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH in April/May 2021, ahead of her first operational deployment. Inzpire’s Collective Training Division Inzpire’s Collective Training division has over 12 years’ experience of successful partnered collective training delivery with the UK Ministry of Defence. The division has designed and delivered over 400 live and synthetic exercises and provided operationally-realistic training to over 10,000 frontline personnel.

From the earliest days of A the Republic, the waters of Europe and Africa have been critical to U.S. security. In 1775, John Paul Jones sailed into harm’s way with one of our first frigates—USS Bonhomme Richard—to defeat the British warship HMS Serapis. That pitched battle ended with the sinking of the Bonhomme Richard but also with the capture of the Serapis as an American prize. Later, in the early 1800s, Lt. Stephen Decatur fought numerous naval battles off North Africa against the Barbary pirates, most notably in Tripoli, Libya. Throughout the next century, the U.S. Navy played a key role in the defeat of Germany in World War I and World War II. During the Cold War, the Navy was on the front lines, meeting the challenges of the Soviet Union, and thus playing a key role in its ultimate defeat and dissolution. The waters of Europe and Africa are still critical to U.S.

Published by the United States Government Accountability Office; October 2017 http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/687675.pdf Biological threats come from a variety of sources and can pose a catastrophic danger to public health, animal and plant health, and national security. Threat awareness, which consists of activities such as collecting and analyzing intelligence, developing risk assessments, and anticipating future threats, is vital to help federal agencies identify necessary biodefense capabilities and ensure investments are prioritized to make effective use of federal funds. GAO was asked to review how key federal agencies develop and share threat awareness information, and how that information informs further investments in biodefense. This report describes: (1) the types of actions that key federal agencies have taken to develop biological threat awareness, and how that information is used to support investment decisions; (2) the extent to which these agencies have developed shared threat awareness; and (3) how DHS’s NBACC determines what additional threat characterization knowledge to pursue. twitter.com/USAF_CUWS | cuws.au.af.mil // 2 // USAFCUWS Outreach Journal Issue 1286 // TABLE OF CONTENTS US NUCLEAR WEAPONS • Air Force to Fire Next-Gen ICBM Prototypes in 2020 • Trump Says He Wants Nuclear Arsenal in ‘Tip-Top Shape,’ Denies Desire to Increase Stockpile • Experts Urge U.S. Military to ‘Develop and Deploy Enhanced-EMP Nuclear Weapons’ • NATO Members Train to Nuke a ‘Fictional’ Enemy after Major Russian Drills US COUNTER-WMD • Pressing, Multiplying Biodefense Issues Plague U.S., Experts Say • Formidable Shield 2017: Ship Engages BMD Target During NATO Exercise, MDA and Navy Conduct SM-6 Test Launch • First Shipment of ANTHIM Anthrax Treatment Delivered to Strategic National Stockpile • What Do We Need?

  • NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016
    NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016 An essential Alliance in a more dangerous world The Warsaw Summit comes at a defining moment for the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. In recent years, the world has become more volatile and dangerous with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilisation of eastern Ukraine, as well as its military build-up from the Barents Sea to the Baltic, and from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean; turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, fuelling the biggest migrant and refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two; brutal attacks by ISIL and other terrorist groups, as well as cyber attacks, nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile threats. NATO is adapting to this changed security environment. It also remains committed to fulfilling its three core tasks: collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security. And, in the Polish capital, the Alliance will make important decisions to boost security in and around Europe, based on two key pillars: protecting its citizens through modern deterrence and defence, and projecting stability beyond its borders. NATO member states form a unique community of values, committed to the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. In today’s dangerous world, transatlantic cooperation is needed more than ever. NATO embodies that cooperation, bringing to bear the strength and unity of North America and Europe. This Summit is the first to be hosted in Poland and the first to be chaired by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who took up his post in October 2014.
