Cover designed by LatRepo Bandiana RACT transport 4 | AUSTRALIAN ARMY TRANSPORT JOURNAL 2014 CORPS MATTERS TRADE MATTERS GENERAL INTEREST UNIT LINES HEAD OF CORPS 2014 Brigadier Paul Nothard, AM, CSC 2014 has been a significant year for the Royal Australian Corps of Transport as we consolidate after the excitement of the Corps’ 40th Birthday in 2013. The Corps Conference, held back in the Corps’ spiritual home of Puckapunyal over the period 2 - 4 April 2014, looked at the Corps’ roles in support of Plan Beersheba and focussed on the RACT’s capabilities to support the future Army. The Conference was a great success, with trade discussions resulting in briefing papers that were forwarded to Army Headquarters for their information and consideration. Several of these papers have informed very important force structure discussions. The inaugural combined officers and SNCO Farewell dinner was a fantastic occasion, with 140 Corps members attending and two Officers and five Warrant Officers being farewelled. To all members of the RACT family that separated from the Army in 2014, I would like to thank you for your service and hope that you continue your connection with the Corps through the various RACT Associations throughout Australia. Our next Corps Conference will be in 2016. The visit of our Colonel-in-Chief, the Princess Royal to Enoggera Barracks on 23 October 2014 was a highlight for me and members of the 5th and 26th Transport Squadrons, the Land 121 Training Team and RACT members of the various units within Gallipoli Barracks. Princess Anne was friendly, relaxed and extremely gracious during the visit and took the time to meet and speak personally with dozens of members of the Corps. I was able to use the occasion to present HRH with a framed print commemorating the presentation of the Princess Royal Banner to the Corps. 100 year celebrations were held by the 1st Combat Service Support Battalion and the 3rd Transport Squadron, who both displayed the Banner at these significant events. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend both of these functions. The Banner was also displayed when the 3rd Combat Service Support Battalion exercised their Freedom of the City of Townsville and when the 3rd Transport Squadron marched in the Sydney Anzac Day Parade. The ECN 171 trade was taken to the Employment Category Management Board, with the decision to present ECN 099 and ECN 218 when the detail of Plan Beersheba and the accompanying UER becomes clearer. Our Corps doctrine is sitting at 92% currency, which is an extraordinary achievement and I thank all of those members that have contributed over the years. All in all, the Corps structures are in a sound position. 2015 will be yet another important year for the RACT, with the raising of new PMV Squadrons and greater clarity on the structure of various trades and units to support Army capability - of which the RACT will continue to be a vital component. We will continue to have members of the Corps family supporting operations around the globe and I wish everyone currently overseas a safe and rewarding deployment. I thank you all for ensuring that RACT remains ‘Equal to the Task’ and wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, safe travels and I look forward to working with you all again in the New Year. PAR ONERI 5 | AUSTRALIAN ARMY TRANSPORT JOURNAL 2014 CORPS MATTERS TRADE MATTERS GENERAL INTEREST UNIT LINES DEPUTY HEAD OF CORPS 2014 LTCOL Kirsty Skinner 2014 has been marked as a period of consolidation. The Corps 40th Birthday Party and presentation of the Princess Royal Banner dominated corps discussions and journals in 2013 and work was needed within HOC Cell to complete our administration. John Howard, the intrepid HOC Cell Manager organised the corps conference (with the help of AST staff); the corps badge numbers; arranged auditing of our financial accounts; investigated 3D printing for the replacement gilt royal crest; commenced a review of corps policy statements; whilst still facilitating the requests for Corps funds and gifts for special events. John completed the routine administration which was needed to keep RACT Corps Funds functioning and I thank him heartily for his efforts. With this consolidation it seemed appropriate to develop our Corps Journal on a new path of intellectual discussion as well as maintaining a summary of corps events. Over the past several months I have reviewed articles written by BRIG through to PTE and the unique thoughts and the quality of the writing has been impressive. I thank all contributors and encourage all RACT members to consider writing for the Corps Journal. Looking into the future, in 2015 the sea trials of the newly launched LHD HMAS Canberra, the evolving employment of PMV within the Brigade and the detail of Land 121 Phase 3B equipment will all provide great topics for discussion in the 2015 Corps Journal. During this time HOC Cell will focus on consolidating Corps Property; developing a map on the Corps web page which shows where all RACT positions are located within other units; rereleasing all Corps Policy Statements. I look forward to your continued engagement with HOC Cell to ensure RACT is positioned to remain ‘Equal to the Task’. 6 | AUSTRALIAN ARMY TRANSPORT JOURNAL 2014 CORPS MATTERS TRADE MATTERS GENERAL INTEREST UNIT LINES CORPS REGIMENTAL SERGEANT MAJOR 2014 Warrant Officer Class One Ray Doolan Since 7 July 2014, I have fulfilled the position of CRSM an honour that I have cherished and found to be extremely rewarding. Since assuming the role as the CRSM I have been fortunate enough to travel and meet face-to-face with members of the Corps and I must say there have been some very healthy discussions on varied topics with both older and junior members of the Corps.

  • Fighting the War
    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > The Great Depression and World War II (1929 and 1945) > Fighting the War Fighting the War [1] Share it now! U.S. involvement in World War II lasted for nearly four years, and more Americans died than in any war except the Civil War — though even those numbers paled in comparison to the carnage other nations endured. For six months after Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces took island after island in the Pacific, and Americans feared an invasion of the West Coast of the United States. In the summer of 1942 the tide of the war in the Pacific began to turn, and for three years, Allied forces fought their way through the Pacific to the shores of Japan. In Europe, the Soviet Union desperately fought the Germans in the east, while American and British troops fought their way through North Africa, invaded Italy, and finally opened a second front in France in 1944. In this chapter you’ll follow the progress of the war from 1942 to 1945. Documentary film, radio broadcasts, contemporary magazine articles, battle maps, and oral histories will help you explore some of the war’s major events.

  • WWII Timeline Assignment
    WWII Timeline Assignment Historical Connections: Student will be able to recognize connecting events and turning points in WWI and WWII, and then analyze the importance of those events in relation to the larger context of Global War. Standard SS.9–12.H.1: Understand historical patterns, periods of time, and the relationships among these elements. Instructions: Create a timeline of World War II. Timelines need to include 15 significant events or themes present in WWII. A detailed description for each event must be provided. Also, an explanation of why that particular event or theme is a turning point, and how is the event important in the context of the entire war must also be included. Each timeline must contain… a. Minimum 1 event regarding the pre-War years b. Minimum 1 event regarding the War in Asia c. Minimum 2 events regarding the War in the Pacific d. Minimum 1 event regarding the War in Africa e. Minimum 2 major themes seen throughout the war f. You may NOT use the Holocaust!!! Process: 1. Select events/themes from the list provided.

For example: Blitzkrieg is a German military strategy utilized in WWII to quickly overwhelm enemies through the use of mobile units (tanks) and air support. The Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, and subsequent invasions of Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium illustrate blitzkrieg, as the Nazi army rapidly swept through much of Europe.
