He welcomed the following new members to the Committee for whom it was their first meeting: WO1 (RSM) S Allen 170 (Infra Sp) Engr Group Mr R Tootle Scotland &NI Group Mr D Ormsby East Anglia Group Lt Col P Taylor Airborne Engineers Branch 3. The Corps Colonel also welcomed the following new HQ REA staff to the meeting: Mr K Kirk REA Controller (Des) Maj (Retd) IL George Assistant Controller ITEM 1 - TO CONFIRM THE MINUTES OF THE 127th MEETING 4. The Committee accepted that the Minutes of the 127th Meeting were a true record of the proceedings. The Chairman signed the Minutes ITEM 2. TO CONSIDER MATTERS ARISING FROM THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 127TH MEETING 5. There were no matters arising from the proceedings of the 127th Meeting. ITEM 3 – TO NOTE THE REPORT OF THE BENEVOLENCE COMMITTEE 6. The Controller presented the Benevolence Report for the 12 month period ending 31st December 2017. The report is at Annex A. 7. The Controller pointed out that the amount of Individual Benevolence grants and the number of cases for Reservists had increased. He also discussed that there is a big push for Reservists to join the Day’s Pay Scheme and that they are given the right information to ensure that they are aware of the benefits. 8. The Controller reminded members that at its last meeting, Council agreed that with effect from 2018, the REA grant to ABF would be increased from £40k to £50k and the grant to SSAFA would be increased from £15k to £20k; Council also agreed to remove the standing grants to Combat Stress and BLESMA and retain the £3k per annum for other charities to be nominated annually by Council. 9. The Controller discussed the REA Welfare Grant and highlighted the 32 ER Marne Pavilion project which is £270,000,00 in credit and waiting for other agencies before it can progress. The under-spend from the welfare grant will not be carried forward and the initiative is finished. 10. Mr K Street – South Midlands Group asked if Benevolence cases need to have SSAFA or TRBL input. The Controller explained that all cases must be staffed through SSAFA and TRBL. It was then discussed that if branches have SSAFA caseworkers in their Branch this could assist members and speed the process. Mr Rick Tootle – Scotland & NI Group explained he is a trained SSAFA caseworker and mentor which works well in the Branch and encouraged other Groups and Branches to train caseworkers. ITEM 4 - TO NOTE THE CORPS COLONEL’S REPORT ON THE CORPS 11. The Corps Colonel presented his report and urged members to share this information with Branches and members. The report is at Annex B. ITEM 5 – TO AWARD THE BADGES OF MERIT FOR 2018 12. The Controller explained that a new system for considering Badge of Merit nominations for REA members was put in place last year. Under the new system, nominations are received at HQ REA and considered by an Awards Board on the 7th December 2017 and considered the nine submitted nominations. Of the nine nominations, six were selected to receive the award. 13. The Committee took great pleasure in awarding the prestigious REA Badge of Merit to the following members: Name Branch Group Mr Peter Bain Minley Branch Central Southern Group Mr Alan Bulmer Birkenhead branch North West Group Mr Ray Lambert Lowestoft & District East Anglia Group Mr Alan Marks Peterborough Branch East Anglia Group Mr David Ormsby Junior Leaders Regt RE Branch South East Group Mrs Sue Simm Cambridge Branch East Anglia Group 14. Their commitment to the Association and their comrades was remarkable and worthy of recognition through the award. The Controller will notify award winners officially. ITEM 6 – ANNUAL FINANCIAL SUMMARIES - UPDATE 15. The Corps Colonel asked the Controller to update the Committee on Branch submissions. 16. The Controller said there were still 50% of Branch Summaries outstanding. He confirmed that he was in contact with the Group Secretaries of those Branches and that hastening action had been taken. The Controller was also concerned that summaries he had checked had inaccuracies and accounts do not balance. This was concerning as two members of the Branch had signed to say the figures were correct. Branches need to spend more time over their accounts. ITEM 7 – HQ REA MANNING UPDATE 17. The Corps Colonel confirmed that with the arrival of Ken Kirk and Iain George, HQ REA is now fully manned. The current Controller will be taking the remainder of his annual leave from AD 16 February 2018 and will handover to Ken Kirk on that day. ITEM 8 – TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE REA RISK REGISTER 18. The Risk Register was distributed to all members of the Committee prior to the meeting and the Corps Colonel stated that he would not discuss the Risk Register in detail as the whole format will change this year as directed by the Chief Royal. The Corps Colonel discussed with the Committee some of the serials and invited all to have a look, take notes and comment on its validity. All members were content to accept the Charity Risk Register dated 10 January 2018. The Risk Register will be reviewed again in July 2018. ITEM 9 – REA STRATEGY DOCUMENT 19. The Corps Colonel relayed the Chairman’s thoughts on the REA Strategic Plan. Although there are Strategic Objectives the Chairman is keen to develop these as a plan and show how we intend to meet them. The Strategic Plan will focus on two aims; one is to maintain the Esprit of the Corps from cradle to grave. The second is to ensure that we have a wide reaching benevolence strategy in place that meets the diverse needs of those eligible. There will be different courses of action and lines of operation that will need pulling together and the recommendations of the recent Membership Scoping Study will form an important part of the strategy. The final strategy will be put to Council for their endorsement in due course. 20. The development is long overdue, but has not been possible due to the manning problems experienced at HQ REA. Now that HQ REA is fully manned the focus will be on the future in terms of what the REA is about. The Chairman expects that over the next year or so we will see some interesting developments that would ensure the REA is well positioned for the future. 21. The Controller (Des) who will be heavily involved with the Strategic Objectives spoke on the requirement for Groups and Branches to have an input with this process as feedback and bright ideas will be required from them. ITEM 10 – REVISION OF REA RULES 22. The Controller advised members that the Association Rules will need revising this year. The review is necessary due to the following: Recent Changes in the responsibilities of both the Controller and the Assistant Controller Recommendations made in the Membership Scoping Study Strategic Plan development The closer integration of Corps units with REA Branches 23. The REA Rules need to be in a format which is more understandable for those at grass roots level. Groups and Branches will be involved with this process as feedback and input will be required. The changes to the REA Rules will not happen overnight and could be a long process as ratification will be required from the AGM. 24. The Controller gave an update on the realignment of Branch Boundaries. The work was 50% complete and had to be put on hold because of the manning issue. There will be an update of the progress at the next meeting. ITEM 11 – BRANCH MATTERS 25. Inglis Bridge. Mr S Lipscombe – North Midlands Group gave a detailed update on the recovery of the Inglis Bridge by the Doncaster Branch. The Highways Agency was involved with the removal of the Inglis Bridge which was now in Chilwell being refurbished in the workshops.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

  • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PB 34-09-2 Volume 35 Number 2 April - June 2009
    MIPB April - June 2009 PB 34-O9-2 Operations in OEF Afghanistan FROM THE EDITOR In this issue, three articles offer perspectives on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Nenchek dis- cusses the philosophy of the evolving insurgent “syndicates,” who are working together to resist the changes and ideas the Coalition Forces bring to Afghanistan. Captain Beall relates his experiences in employing Human Intelligence Collection Teams at the company level in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant Colonel Lawson provides a look into the balancing act U.S. Army chaplains as non-com- batants in Afghanistan are involved in with regards to Information Operations. Colonel Reyes discusses his experiences as the MNF-I C2 CIOC Chief, detailing the problems and solutions to streamlining the intelligence effort. First Lieutenant Winwood relates her experiences in integrating intelligence support into psychological operations. From a doctrinal standpoint, Lieutenant Colonels McDonough and Conway review the evolution of priority intelligence requirements from a combined operations/intelligence view. Mr. Jack Kem dis- cusses the constructs of assessment during operations–measures of effectiveness and measures of per- formance, common discussion threads in several articles in this issue. George Van Otten sheds light on a little known issue on our southern border, that of the illegal im- migration and smuggling activities which use the Tohono O’odham Reservation as a corridor and offers some solutions for combined agency involvement and training to stem the flow. Included in this issue is nomination information for the CSM Doug Russell Award as well as a biogra- phy of the 2009 winner.
