Tours s!ueer<3dy3 B.H.Ghakravariy of to United Nation His U ffcant; IMt«d Hatioas, Sew Terk. C & 11 May The Secretary-General Report to the Secretary-General by Ralph J. Eunche on Visit to the United nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan, (UNMOGIP), April, 196*1-. 1. My visit to IMMOQIP covered the period Ik to 20 April 1964. 2. The purpose of the visit was to see the operation at work for the first time, to appraise its efficiency and to explore possible means of increasing its effectiveness. General Nimmo, the Chief Military Observer of the Mission, and the Governments of India and Pakistan urged that the visit "be made at about this time. It was, in my estimation, decidedly worthwhile. In the course of ib I received full cooperation from General Nimmo and his staff and from both Governments. 3» UNMOGIP came into being as an indirect result of the Security Council resolution of 21 April 19^8, which established the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan. This Commission, on 15 August 19^8, adopted a resolution appointing military observers who under the authority of the Commission and with the co-operation of both Commands were to supervise the observance of the cease-fire order. The same resolution submitted proposals to the Governments for a cease-fire and a truce agreement. The sole purpose of UNMOGIP is to supervise the observance of the cease-fire agreement between India and Pakistan. Preceding the United Nations Truce Supervision Operation (UNTSO) in Palestine, it is the oldest of the United Nations peace-keeping operations. Like UNTSO, it receives and investigates complaints from either side about violations of the Cease-Fire Agreement along the Cease-Fire line (CFL) and prepares findings on the basis of the investigations. The findings in each case are given to both parties. The incidents about which complaints are made usually concern firing across the Cease-Fire Line, crossing of it, and strengthening military positions. The Military Observers are unarmed. 4. UNMOGIP is not a peace-force, although at times it has been called upon to perform functions, such as patrolling, which are those of a peace- force and not of Observers. Supervision of the Kashmir CFL, incidentally, is a responsibility that would seem to be made to order for a UN peace-force, with the function of interposition, as in UNEF. The CFL is about 500 miles long, and the terrain is largely mountainous, but I believe that a UN force of moderate size with a mandate to maintain quiet along the CFL could have - 2 - even "better success than UNEF has had, if only because of a desire that I "believe to be earnest on "both sides to avoid serious trouble along the line. It is realized, of course, that at this time there is no prospect of a, move toward a UN peace force for Kashmir. If, however, the situation along the CFL should deteriorate and fighting increase, there will almost surely be suggestions that a peace force be instituted. I heard casual references to the possibility of a peace force on both sides of the Line. 5. UNMOGIP, the oldest of the UN peace-keeping operations, is also the least known to members of the United Nations; its work has been least appreciated; and it has received least attention from UN Headquarters. This is in part due to the fact that during the sixteen years in which the Kashmir issue has been before the United nations and the UN observation operation has been functioning, the preoccupation of the Security Council has been with the basic political issues and their solution, rather than with specific instances of armed clashes in violation of the Cease-Pire Line Agreement which are the concern of UNMOGIP. Indeed, UNMOG-IP is rarely mentioned in the course of the Security Council debates on the Kashmir question.

The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) conducted an audit of United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP). 2. In accordance with its mandate, OIOS provides assurance and advice on the adequacy and effectiveness of the United Nations internal control system, the primary objectives of which are to ensure (a) efficient and effective operations; (b) accurate financial and operational reporting; (c) safeguarding of assets; and (d) compliance with mandates, regulations and rules. 3. Following the signing of the Karachi Agreement in July 1949, UNMOGIP was established to supervise the ceasefire between India and Pakistan in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. After renewed hostilities in 1971, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 307 on 21 December 1971, calling for a durable ceasefire in all areas; to remain in effect until all armed forces had withdrawn to their respective territories and to positions that fully respected the ceasefire line in Kashmir, and to be supervised by UNMOGIP.

  • The All–American Airman
    John Alison shot down two—or perhaps three—enemy aircraft in his first aerial combat, and went on from there. The All–American Airman By Walter J. Boyne N late 1940, a delegation from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek Iwas in the United States to buy airplanes for what would become the fabled American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers. A demonstration of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was laid on at Bolling Field in Washington for the Chinese visitors and their American advisor, Claire L. Chennault. The pilot for the demonstration was 2nd Lt. John R. Alison. As Chennault would later recall in his book, Way of a Fighter, Alison “got more out of that P-40 in his five-minute demonstration than anybody I ever saw before or after. ... “When he landed, they pointed at the P-40 and smiled, ‘We need 100 of these.’ ‘No,’ I said, pointing to Alison, ‘you need 100 of these.’ ” As always, Chennault was an excel- lent judge of people. Within a few years, Alison would be flying P-40s for Chennault in China—where he would shoot down two Japanese aircraft (a third was unconfirmed) in his first aerial com- bat.

Following his tour in Vietnam, Secretary Hagel graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha using the G.I. Bill. Continuing his commitment to public service, Secretary Hagel became Chief of Staff to Nebraska Congressman John Y. McCollister. In 1981, Secretary Hagel was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to serve as Deputy Administrator of the Veterans Administration. In that post he helped pioneer early electronic health recordkeeping and pushed for increased benefits for Vietnam veterans suffering from Agent Orange. This fight became one of the causes of his life, later helping federal courts distribute hundreds of millions of dollars for Agent Orange victims through the Court settlement that set up the Agent Orange Payment Program which he chaired. In the mid-1980’s, Secretary Hagel co-founded Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc., which became one of the largest independent cellular networks in the country. Secretary Hagel also served as President and CEO of the USO; the Chief Operating Officer of the 1990 Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations (G–7 Summit) in Houston, Texas; Deputy Commissioner General of the United States for the 1982 World’s Fair, President of the Private Sector Council and President of McCarthy & Company, an Omaha based investment bank.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.
