This is a unique and comprehensive summary of world wide development in this field. It is probably not realised what a vital part closed circuit breathing apparatus played in World War II. Apart from escapes from damaged and sunken submarines by means of the DSEA, and the special attacks on ships by human torpedoes and X-craft, including the mortal damage to the "Tirpitz", an important part of the invasion forces were the landing craft obstruction clearance units. These were special teams of frogmen in oxygen breathing sets who placed demolition charges on the formidable underwater obstructions along the north coast of France.

Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force.

    EU Defence Cooperation Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO)

    EU Defence Cooperation Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) Introduced by the Lisbon Treaty on European Union (article 42.6, 46 and Protocol 10), the PESCO is a framework and process to deepen defence cooperation between those EU Member States, who are capable and willing to do so. 25 EU Member States have joined PESCO and subscribed to more binding commitments to invest, plan, develop and operate defence capabilities more together, within the Union framework. The objective is to jointly arrive at a coherent full spectrum of defence capabilities available to Member States for national and multinational (EU, NATO, UN, ... ) missions and operations. This will enhance the EU’s capacity as an international security actor, contribute to the protection of the EU citizens and maximise the effectiveness of defence spending. The key difference between PESCO and other forms of cooperation is the legally binding nature of the commitments undertaken by the 25 Member States which participate in PESCO. The list of ambitious and more binding common commitments undertaken by each of the participating PESCO contains 20 individual commitments, split into the five key areas set out by art.2 of Protocol N°10 on PESCO annexed to the Lisbon Treaty. PESCO projects An initial list of 17 projects to be developed under PESCO was adopted by the Council on 6 March 2018. A second batch of 17 projects to be developed under PESCO was adopted by the Council on 19 November 2018. And finally, a third batch of 13 additional projects to be developed under PESCO was adopted by the Council on 12 November 2019.

    Emilio Bianchi” Launched

    THE TENTH MULTIPURPOSE FRIGATE “EMILIO BIANCHI” LAUNCHED It is the last unit of the Italo-French FREMM program Trieste, January 25, 2020 – The launching ceremony of the “Emilio Bianchi” frigate, the tenth and last FREMM vessel – Multi Mission European Frigates, took place today at the integrated shipyard of Riva Trigoso (Genoa) in the presence of the Italian Minister of Defence, Lorenzo Guerini. The 10 vessels have been commissioned to Fincantieri by the Italian Navy within the framework of an Italo-French cooperation program under the coordination of OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur l’Armement, the international organization for cooperation on arms). Godmother of the ceremony was Mrs. Maria Elisabetta Bianchi, first daughter of Emilio Bianchi, Golden Medal for Military Value. For Fincantieri the President Giampiero Massolo welcome, on behalf of the Chief of Defence, General Enzo Vecciarelli, the Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the Governor of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti, in addition to a number of authorities. After the launching, fitting activities will continue in the integrated naval shipyard of Muggiano (La Spezia), with delivery scheduled in 2021. The “Emilio Bianchi” vessel, like the other units, will feature a high degree of flexibility, capable of operating in all tactical situations. 144 metres long with a beam of 19.7 metres, the ship will have a displacement at full load of approximately 6,700 tonnes. The vessel will have a maximum speed of over 27 knots and will have a maximum accommodation capacity for a 200-person crew. The FREMM program, representing the European and Italian defence state of the art, stems from the renewal need of the Italian Navy line “Lupo” (already removed) and “Maestrale” (some of them already decommissioned, the remaining close to the attainment of operational limit) class frigates, both built by Fincantieri in the 1970s.

This represents a growing need to predict and correct the orbits of the active satellites, avoiding collisions with other inactive satellites or debris, and guarantee their long-term operation and investment. In such sense, Portugal, through the Portuguese Ministry of Defense – Armaments Directorate, is investing with the purpose of obtaining SST data autonomously, as well as to produce derived SST information and services from it. Such information will contribute to a wider national and international common effort, with valuable data and services that can support all kind of stakeholders. This paper describes the capabilities and versatility of the Portuguese SST network, provides information about the main assets, their capabilities and characteristics and provides samples and discussions on the data products obtained and made available by the National Operations Centre (NOC).

Zwischen 1994 und 2007 kamen noch U-Boote der Klasse 209/1400 vom Hersteller Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft (HDW) hinzu. Seit knapp 50 Jahren ist die türkische Marine Kunde von thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH (TKMS) – ehemals HDW – mit Sitz in Kiel (www.handelsblatt.com/my/unternehmen/industrie/milliarden-ausschrei- bung-in-indonesien-thyssen-krupp-will-mit-der-tuerkei-u-boote-verkaufen/197 26678.html?ticket=ST-4301735-ohPe35dJah6yWLtN1xUr-ap4). So wurden die ersten U-Boote der Klasse Atilay in den 1970er Jahren durch die HDW und durch die türkische Gölcük Naval Shipyard produziert. Die U-Boote der Klasse 209/1400 wurden unter Lizenz des Herstellers HDW von 1994 bis 2007 in der Türkei gefertigt. Die 13 Schiffe der U-Boot-Flotte stammen alle entweder aus Deutschland oder wurden unter deutscher Lizenz produziert (http://ruestungs export.info/uploads/laender/tuerkei.pdf). Zudem baut die Türkei aktuell sechs U-Boote mit außenluftunabhängiger An- triebsanlage des Typs 214 unter deutscher Lizenz, wovon das erste 2019 fertig- gestellt werden soll. Vermutlich sollen die neuen 214er U-Boote die fünf 209er- Typen der türkischen Marine ersetzen (http://ruestungsexport.info/uploads/laender/ tuerkei.pdf).

    The Integration of Swedish and Dutch Forces in EU Naval Force Operation Atalanta, 2015

    In 2015, the Netherlands and Sweden provided a joint contri- bution to the EU’s counter-piracy military mission EUNAVFOR Operation Atalanta. During their three-month deployment to the area of operation, Swedish troops and enablers – including two Combat Boat 90 assault craft and two AW109 helicopters – were stationed on board the Dutch warship HNLMS Johan de Witt, which also hosted the Force Headquarters (FHQ) led by a Swedish Admiral. This kind of cooperation, in particular having a tactical headquarters led by one nation and the fl agship led by another, was quite unique. In general, the integration was considered to have been suc- cessful – to some extent surprisingly so. This report describes and analyses the planning and execution of the fusion of Dutch and Swedish forces, identifying key lessons that may be of value in similar future collaborations. National regulations and procedures, command and control structures, preparatory training and exercises, the chosen level of integration and per- sonal mindsets are among the issues discussed.

  • Porisa Libya Smugglers

    Porisa Libya Smugglers

    Smuggling Networks in Libya Nancy Porsia, Freelance journalist, March 2015 Introduction This report is based on my work as freelance journalist in Libya since 2013, during which I have often focused on the phenomena of migration across the sea and smuggling networks, and conducted extensive interviews with all actors involved – migrants, smugglers, state officials and militias. In the central Mediterranean region, Libya is one of the main transit routes for migrants; here the phenomenon acquires significant proportions since 2002 with the transit of migrants from the Horn of Africa. Since then the number of migrants flowing into Libya has gradually increased. However the previous regime used to play ‘border diplomacy’ leveraging the threat perceived by European states in relation to migration in order to bargain its power in the international arena. In this political frame the numbers of migrants in transit through Libya and heading to Europe were under control. Only in 2008 the migrants’ flow reached the peak with 37,000 migrants registered on the Italian shores. In the same year the Treaty of Friendship between Italy and Libya marked a turning point over the relations of the two countries and in 2009 the regime launched a crackdown on the smuggling business in Libya: all the factories of wooden boats along the Libyan coast were shutdown and big number of smugglers were arrested. In 2010 the number of arrivals in Italy dropped to 4400, a decrease of almost 90% in just two years. The departures massively resumed only after the outbreak of the Revolution in 2011, when the smugglers were released and pushed by the regime to cram migrants into boats and send them to Europe, as revenge on European countries support to the revolutionaries on the ground.
