  • 7 February Was the Day of Sri Lanka Military Forces. I Have Discovered So Many Flags It Is Impossible to Present All These Flags in That Lecture
    Vexilobaires 2005 Proceedings of the XXI International Congress of Vexillology (fig.48) 7 February was the day of Sri Lanka Military Forces. I have discovered so many flags it is impossible to present all these flags in that lecture. I have decided to present you a few for each force. ARMY The first meeting was organized in the Sri Lanka Army Headquarters, Baladaksha Mw, where Officer Brigadier Moses, his assistant Captain Mutumala and members of his staff welcomed us offering tea and toasts. I walked to the stadium where all the Army flags were displayed. Later they offered a copy of all these flags (fig 49). (fig.49) You can look at 6 of the 24 flags discovered: -Volunteer Force in the Sri Lanka Army: The flag background is yellow. In the middle there is a Tusker who is in a saluting by holding it's trunk over the head. Tiny white line is encircled the Tusker. There are two cross swords under the Tusker. The sentence "Volunteer Force in the Sri Lanka Army" is stated in the background of the talipot shaped opened book. There is a reason to use yellow and black colours in the flag according to a retired senior army personnel, the kilt Uniform which was worn by the British Highland Battalion in a state where the governor of Sri Lanka at that time, used these yellow and black colours (fig 50).

  • Colonel Commandant Honour Board
    Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery Honorary Appointments Colonels Commandant Establishment The Honorary Colonel concept was ad hoc until 1955 when a Colonel Commandant was appointed in each State. This was promulgated as follows: “The Military Board has considered the scale of appointment, duties and privileges of Honorary Colonels / Colonels Commandant. Military Board Instruction 186 dated 28 Sep 56 on this subject has been issued.” Review and Revised Structure During 2016 - 2019 the RCC and HOR implemented a review of the role and support provided by the long-standing existing Colonels Commandant structure. The outcome saw a move away from geographically state based appointments and the adoption of a dedicated Colonel Command for each RAA Regiment. One of these CC will continue to be appointed concurrently as the Representative Colonel Commandant.

  • CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs CoMTrans UrbanTransport Master Plan Final Report CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1.1 Definition The Western Province is the most developed province in Sri Lanka and is where the administrative functions and economic activities are concentrated. At the same time, forestry and agricultural lands still remain, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the province. And also, there are some local urban centres which are less dependent on Colombo. These areas have less relation with the centre of Colombo. The Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined in order to analyse and assess future transport demands and formulate a master plan. For this purpose, Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined by: A) areas that are already urbanised and those to be urbanised by 2035, and B) areas that are dependent on Colombo. In an urbanised area, urban activities, which are mainly commercial and business activities, are active and it is assumed that demand for transport is high. People living in areas dependent on Colombo area assumed to travel to Colombo by some transport measures. 4.1.2 Factors to Consider for Future Urban Structures In order to identify the CMA, the following factors are considered. These factors will also define the urban structure, which is described in Section 4.3. An effective transport network will be proposed based on the urban structure as well as the traffic demand. At the same time, the new transport network proposed will affect the urban structure and lead to urban development.

  • Pakistan's Army
    Pakistan’s Army: New Chief, traditional institutional interests Introduction A year after speculation about the names of those in the race for selection as the new Army Chief of Pakistan began, General Qamar Bajwa eventually took charge as Pakistan's 16th Chief of Army Staff on 29th of November 2016, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. Ordinarily, such appointments in the defence services of countries do not generate much attention, but the opposite holds true for Pakistan. Why this is so is evident from the popular aphorism, "while every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". In Pakistan, the army has a history of overshadowing political landscape - the democratically elected civilian government in reality has very limited authority or control over critical matters of national importance such as foreign policy and security. A historical background The military in Pakistan is not merely a human resource to guard the country against the enemy but has political wallop and opinions. To know more about the power that the army enjoys in Pakistan, it is necessary to examine the times when Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1947, both India and Pakistan were carved out of the British Empire. India became a democracy whereas Pakistan witnessed several military rulers and still continues to suffer from a severe civil- military imbalance even after 70 years of its birth. During India’s war of Independence, the British primarily recruited people from the Northwest of undivided India which post partition became Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the majority of the people recruited in the Pakistan Army during that period were from the Punjab martial races.
