Tätä kutsutaan politiikaksi. Suurvalto- I jen välisen kilpailun lisääntyminen ja geopolitiikan paluu ovat kasvattaneet alueel- listen kriisien mahdollisuutta. Konfliktien ennakkovaroitusajan lyhentyminen ja soti- laallisen voimankäytön kynnyksen alentuminen ovat tyypillisiä turvallisuusympäristön muutoksia. Maailma on muuttunut monimutkaisemmaksi ja sitä hallitsee epävakaus, monimerkityksellisyys sekä epävarmuus. Nykyaikainen sota kuvataan laaja-alaiseksi, kompleksiseksi ja kaoottiseksi. Merisodankäynnin hallitsemisen lähtökohtana on tuon luonnonelementin – meren – ymmärtäminen. Tässä operatiivisessa toimintaympäristössä on se lainalaisuus, että siellä toimivat ovat vain vierailijoita. Ihmiset elävät pääsääntöiset maalla, eikä merta voida valloittaa pysyvästi. Kuitenkin ihmiskunnalla on mereen ikiaikainen suhde, kun sen antimia on käytetty ravinnoksi sekä sen tarjoamia vesiväyliä kuljetuksiin. Merisodan klassisena päämääränä on pidetty merenherruuden saavuttamista. Nykyään merenherruuden käsitteen sijasta on alettu käyttää termiä merenhallinta, joka ilmaisee kuka käyttää merta ja millaisin reunaehdoin. Kontra-amiraali Joseph C. Wylien mu- kaan merivoimallinen teoria sisältää merenherruuden muodostamisen ja sen hyödyn- tämisen maa-alueiden hallinnan luomiseksi. Meren hallitseminen on ollut merkittävää nimenomaan suurille merivalloille, kuten Yhdysvalloille ja Britannialle, joten tärkeim- mät merisodankäynnin teoriatkin on laadittu noissa maissa. Komentaja Ville Vänskä käsittelee kirjassaan Nykyaikainen merisodankäynti niin merisodankäynnin historiaa kuin sen teorioitakin aloittaen kontra-amiraali Alfred T. Mahanista ja Sir Julian Corbettista edeten loogisesti kohti tätä

    THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND ALLIED NAVAL FORCES’ OPERATION WITH THE ANTI-COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS IN THE KOREAN WAR: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE OPERATION ON THE WEST COAST By INSEUNG KIM A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the British Commonwealth and Allied Naval forces operation on the west coast during the final two and a half years of the Korean War, particularly focused on their co- operation with the anti-Communist guerrillas. The purpose of this study is to present a more realistic picture of the United Nations (UN) naval forces operation in the west, which has been largely neglected, by analysing their activities in relation to the large number of irregular forces. This thesis shows that, even though it was often difficult and frustrating, working with the irregular groups was both strategically and operationally essential to the conduct of the war, and this naval-guerrilla relationship was of major importance during the latter part of the naval campaign.

  • Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D
    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.

  • Indo-Pakistan War
    WAR OF 1971 INDO-PAKISTAN WAR Sonam Pawar Purushottum Walawalkar higher secondary school 1 Goa naval unit • The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971was a military confrontation between India‘s forces and Pakistan that occurred during the Bangladesh Liberation War in East Pakistan from 3 December 1971 to 16 December 1971. The war began with Operation Chengiz Khan's preemptive aerial strikes on 11 Indian air stations, which led to the commencement of hostilities with Pakistan and Indian entry into the war for independence in East Pakistan on the side of Bengali nationalist forces. Lasting just 13 days, it is one of the shortest warsin history. In the process, it also become part of the nine-month long Bangladesh Liberation War. • During the war, Indian and Pakistani militaries simultaneously clashed on the eastern and western fronts. The war ended after the Eastern Command of the Pakistan mIlitary signed the Instrument of Surrenderon 16December 1971in Dhaka, marking the formation of East Pakistan as the new nation of Bangladesh. Officially, East Pakistan had earlier called for its secession from Pakistan on 26 March 1971. Approximately 90,000to 93,000 Pakistani servicemen were taken prisoner by the Indian Army, which included 79,676 to 81,000 uniformed personnel of the Pakistan Armed Forces, including some Bengali soldiers who had remained loyal to Pakistan. The remaining 10,324 to 12,500 prisoners were civilians, either family members of the military personnel or collaborators. • It is estimated that members of the Pakistani military and supporting pro Pakistani Islamist militias killed between 300,000 and 3,000,000 civilians in Bangladesh.

  • Aircraft Carriers and India's Naval Doctrine
    Gurpreet S. Khurana Aircraft Carriers and India’s Naval Doctrine Gurpreet S. Khurana* Introduction Epic sea battles between aircraft carriers have not recurred after World War II; in the post-war period, most carriers began to retire without even having participated in a battle. Many countries that possessed carriers or were aspiring to get them thus began to re-assess the military- strategic utility of such platforms in the radically altered global geo- strategic environment. The operational concept incorporating carriers also came under the scanner due to the risk to these high-value assets by the proliferation of sea-denial platforms and weapons. For example, the acquisition of submarines by Indonesia and Pakistan in the mid- 1960s led to India’s employment of INS Vikrant with much hesitation.1 Whether the enormous financial investment needed to acquire and operate a carrier can be justified against its need has been another contentious issue. Notwithstanding these protracted debates over the years, the aircraft-carrier has still not followed the battleship into oblivion. Merely on the basis of reduced employment of aircraft-carriers in the recent past, or by a casual reckoning of the shifting offence-defence balance against these platforms, it may be perilous to infer that aircraft- carriers are redundant in contemporary times. The current regional geo-political and security environment is marked by ambiguities and uncertainties. It is still unclear as to what kind of world order will emerge after the bipolar one ended with the Cold War. The only certitude is that *Commander Gurpreet Khurana is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Defence and Strategic Analyses (IDSA), New Delhi.
