Comm. J. W. BUNKLEY U. S. Navy" 60 FULL-PAGE PLATES 20 IN COLORS SECOND EDf.T.'.oy — REVISED AND ENLARGED NEW YORK D. VAN NOSTRAND COMPANY 25 Park Place 1918 2STA.VY DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON 1^1 October 5, 1917. To: Lieutenant J. W. Bunklet, U. S. Navy, SUBJECT: Publication of Article. 1. You are authorized to publish the manuscript sub mitted this day for scrutiny in accordance with Article 1534 (3) Navy Regulations, 1913. Copyright, 1917, 1918 BY D. VAN NOSTRAND COMPANY PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION The great expansion in the existing corps of our Army and the organization of new services have necessitated many changes in insignia and the adopt ing of new insignia. The present edition has been revised and enlarged to include the changes. It also describes and illustrates the new war medals. A new chapter with a plate are devoted to the "War Medals and Decorations of the Allies." A chapter on "The Public Health Service," with plates illustrating the insignia, is added, and a colored plate showing the distinctive markings of the aeroplanes of the world, accompanied by a short chapter on aeroplanes, is included in this edition. JOEL WILLIAM BUNKLEY Nov., 1918 < PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION The following pages were prepared, not only for those in the Military and Naval Service, but also for the laymen who, since the beginning of the war, have shown such a keen interest in the uniforms, insignia, and customs of our fighting forces. The information was all obtained from official sources and every effort has been put forth to make it as correct and as complete as possible. Special stress has been laid on the insignia of rank, which has been shown in the most minute detail. It is hoped that every man, both old and new, in the service will find this volume useful in recognizing the various insignia and uniforms of his own and sister services and of the foreign Armies and Navies, which he meets from day to day. The chapters on the organization of our Army and Navy, the duties of the officers and men, as well as the composition of the various units, should prove particularly interesting at this time. Those on the customs of the service were written especially for men who have lately entered, or who contemplate entering, the military or naval life and who wish to become familiar with the etiquette and customs peculiar to such a life.

Garry E. Hall as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158 during a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Bahrain Sept. 27. Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

  • Promotion Policies
    Changes in DJO Ranks The DJO has been growing and has evolved into three main areas “DJO Staff”, TFA, and TRA. With this the numbers of members has grown. This is also a contributing factor to the low attrition rate that we are experanceing. With a low attrition rate the “High Command” was faced with three issues. First of which is how do we reward members for outstanding service, war performance, longevity of service, ect… Traditionally we have awarded the membership with promotions in rank and position. By using this as our incentive for members we have created the other two problems. The first of which is that we have run out of positions for the membership that have performed above and beyond the call of duty.. So we still promote them because we have nothing else to give them. By doing that we then lower the attrition rate that we would experience thus causing the proverbial “log jam” in the ranks. In other words, we get top heavy with Sr. Officers. There are a few ways to fix these problems three of which need to be implemented as quickly as possible. First: The addition of new ranks to the organization. The existing ranks are shown below in Table 1. The new ranks are basically the addition of 4 new enlisted ranks. These are shown below in Table 2. By adding the additional ranks that would give us more flexibility to award promos without getting into the current situation we are faced with.

By Major-General N. BEKLEMZSHEFF, lrnpniol .Russian Aimy, President of.thc Russian lmpeiial Navy League. IT is a well-known fact that many British sailors have served in the Imperial Russian Navy and that they distinguished themselves in such a manner that they were an honour to the country of their adoption. Of these the most illustrious career is that of a Scot, named Samuel Greig, born 1736. Thanks to ori inal documents which were found in the' family archives of f3 rince Esper Oukhtomsky, Editor of the Sf. I'icdo+osfy, a relative of the famous Scot on his maternal side, we are in a position to throw some interesting light on the life of Samuel Greig and the part he played in the Kussian service. -. Prior to entering'the Russian Navy, Greig, then a Lieuten- ant in the Navy of His Britannic Majesty King George 111., applied to the Admiralty for leave to do so.

I’d like to name you all but it would be a very long list. Without you this thesis would have been unthinkable. This thesis is dedicated to the colleagues, friends, phriends, DMers and DMRPers without whom it would have unendurable . This thesis is dedicated to my supervisor, Nicholas Rodger, without whom it would have been implausible. Above all though it is dedicated to my family, without whom it would have been impossible. 2 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the selection and early career education of executive branch officers in the Royal Navy c1902-1939. The thesis attempts to place naval selection and educational policy in context by demonstrating how it was affected by changing naval requirements, external political interference and contemporary educational reform. It also explores the impact of the First World War and the Invergordon mutiny upon officer education.

    StarshellVolume VII, No. 78, Spring 2017 ‘A little light on what’s going on!’ The Naval Association of Canada OUR COVER ~ GOOD OL’ NAVY RESOURCEFULNESS! No, this is not intended to show the RCN at its worst but rather at its best, resolving a potentially disastrous situation by exhibiting good old navy inge- nuity! Built for the RN at Vancouver but transferred to the RCN for manning, the Bangor-class minesweeper Lockeport was commissioned on 27 May 1942 and served with Esquimalt Force until 17 March 1943 when she sailed for Halifax. Upon her arrival there on 30 April, she was assigned briefly to WLEF and in June to Halifax Force. In November and December 1943 she was loaned to Newfoundland Force but was withdrawn due to engine trouble. On 9 January 1944, while enroute to Baltimore for refit, her engines broke Starshell down during a storm and she made 190 miles under improvised sail, sewing ISSN-1191-1166 hammocks together and lashing them to the masts as a foresail and mizzen, before being towed the rest of the way to her destination. Upon her return National magazine of the Naval Association of Canada to Halifax in April, Lockeport was ordered to Bermuda to work up, and on Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada the homeward journey she escorted the boats of the 78th Motor Launch Flo- tilla. Returning to Sydney Force in 1944 she was frequently an escort to the www.navalassoc.ca Port-aux-Basques ferry. She left Canada on 27 May 1945 for the UK and was returned to the RN at Sheerness on 2 July to be broken up three years later.
