  • Transnistria – a “Bridge Head” of the Russian Federation for Attacking Ukraine
    TRANSNISTRIA – A “BRIDGE HEAD” OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR ATTACKING UKRAINE Colonel Ion-Marius NICOLAE, PhD* Motto: ,,Nobody should fantasize about the possibility to gain military superiority against Russia. We will never allow this to happen.” Vladimir Putin Abstract: The breakaway republic - de facto state - of Transnistria has steadily been edging closer and closer to Russia, but the Kremlin does not seem all that enthusiastic. The EU ought to take specific action to prevent Moldova from becoming the next victim of Russian aggression. Transnistria could represent a Russian, bridge head in the East of Europe. There is a real chance that the breakaway region in the Eastern part of the country, the Transnistrian republic, might follow in the footsteps of Crimea and be accepted into the Russian Federation as a new federal subject. The annexation of Crimea by force dramatically changes the security situation in the Black Sea region. After the annexation of Crimea (March 2014) by the Russian Federation, UN observers are trying to figure out what is going on with Russian Federation troops on the Ukrainian border. As a result of the talks, the subject of Republic of Transnistria was also reached. * Head of department/ Romanian Land Forces Staff, email: [email protected]; [email protected] 133 Colonel Ion-Marius NICOLAE, PhD Fig. 1- Annexation of the Crimea by the Russian Federation (March 2014) The Russian Federation reserves the right to intervene anywhere on the territory of the former Soviet republics. If the Russian Federation were to take over Transnistria, Ukraine would have Russian troops on three borders instead of two.

  • The Status of Foreign Armed Forces on the Romanian Territory. Regulations, Specific Cases, Solutions Regarding Jurisdictions
    THE STATUS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES ON THE ROMANIAN TERRITORY. REGULATIONS, SPECIFIC CASES, SOLUTIONS REGARDING JURISDICTIONS Florin MACIU Brigadier General, legal advisor, PhD in Military Sciences, Ministry of National Defense Regardless of the controversies caused by the presence of allied forces on the Romanian territory, reality proves beyond any doubt that the Romanian state wishes to build upon such a situation to the benefi t of its own security, especially in the current international conjuncture. Such a choice may seem logical and responsible to the great majority of the Romanian people. However, in our opinion, there is still an element that needs to be adjusted: the same people’s perception on the status of foreign armed forces on the Romanian territory. The current paper aims to approach some legal issues regarding this matter, to contribute to a better understanding of the regulations that govern this domain and to reveal a principle that needs to be unanimously accepted: the allied forces need to be treated, for better or worse, just like a host nation’s military. Key words: status of force, jurisdiction, allied forces, permanent presence, morale, liability, Romanian territory. 1. THE CASE OF THE PERMANENT considering the importance of a fully AMERICAN MILITARY PRESENCE supported implementation of the action ON THE ROMANIAN TERRITORY plan for the consolidation of the Alliance security within the context of the security After meeting Philip M.

  • Stream 1 Bridging & Gap Crossing
    Page 1 of 17 Defence Leaders© agenda subject to change depending on speaker availability 12th NOVEMBER 2019 CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION, DAY 1 MECHANISED ENGINEERING With the recent renewed peer threat to NATO and allied forces, a possibility of returning to urban terrain warfare has placed greater importance on movement and mobility. The emphasis on manoeuvrability for an active allied force ensures the war fighter can operate efficiently and with battlefield momentum. Maintaining the freedom of movement against a peer threat guarantees the forces fighting capability is not hindered by the terrain obstacles. This renewed threat has identified capability gaps which can be exploited by adversaries and needs to be addressed. While discussing the use of vehicles and autonomy, Combat Engineer 2019 will explore these capability gaps, giving the opportunity for nations to share their unique challenges with supporting the war fighter’s mobility. It will explore this theme with the view to understanding potential solutions that can aid in the future theatres of operation. 0800 - Registration and welcome coffee 0855 - Chairman’s opening remarks Major General (Retd) Mungo Melvin CB OBE, Former GOC UK Support Command and Former Colonel Commandant of the Royal Engineers, British Army SUPPORTING THE MANOEUVRABILITY OF THE WARFIGHTER Primary mission tasks need to be carried out efficiently and rapidly in order to gain a tactical advantage over adversaries. The engineers of any military must maintain the mobility of troops and support the tri-services in being able to move freely in areas of operations. This section will give context to the over-arching near pear threat that we face and how NATO and NATO friendly forces are reacting to protect our allies and to keep the war fighter moving.
