  • BRAZILIAN Military Culture
    BRAZILIAN Military Culture 2018 Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy | Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center By Luis Bitencourt The FIU-USSOUTHCOM Academic Partnership Military Culture Series Florida International University’s Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy (FIU-JGI) and FIU’s Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center (FIU-LACC), in collaboration with the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), formed the FIU-SOUTHCOM Academic Partnership. The partnership entails FIU providing research-based knowledge to further USSOUTHCOM’s understanding of the political, strategic, and cultural dimensions that shape military behavior in Latin America and the Caribbean. This goal is accomplished by employing a military culture approach. This initial phase of military culture consisted of a yearlong research program that focused on developing a standard analytical framework to identify and assess the military culture of three countries. FIU facilitated professional presentations of two countries (Cuba and Venezuela) and conducted field research for one country (Honduras). The overarching purpose of the project is two-fold: to generate a rich and dynamic base of knowledge pertaining to political, social, and strategic factors that influence military behavior; and to contribute to USSOUTHCOM’s Socio-Cultural Analysis (SCD) Program. Utilizing the notion of military culture, USSOUTHCOM has commissioned FIU-JGI to conduct country-studies in order to explain how Latin American militaries will behave in the context

Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

Defence IQ endeavours to ensure accuracy wherever possible, but errors are often unavoidable. We encourage readers to contact us if they note any need for amendments or updates. We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

  • List of Certain Foreign Institutions Classified As Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY JANUARY 2001 Revised Aug. 2002, May 2004, May 2005, May/July 2006, June 2007 List of Certain Foreign Institutions classified as Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms The attached list of foreign institutions, which conform to the definition of foreign official institutions on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms, supersedes all previous lists. The definition of foreign official institutions is: "FOREIGN OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONS (FOI) include the following: 1. Treasuries, including ministries of finance, or corresponding departments of national governments; central banks, including all departments thereof; stabilization funds, including official exchange control offices or other government exchange authorities; and diplomatic and consular establishments and other departments and agencies of national governments. 2. International and regional organizations. 3. Banks, corporations, or other agencies (including development banks and other institutions that are majority-owned by central governments) that are fiscal agents of national governments and perform activities similar to those of a treasury, central bank, stabilization fund, or exchange control authority." Although the attached list includes the major foreign official institutions which have come to the attention of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Department of the Treasury, it does not purport to be exhaustive. Whenever a question arises whether or not an institution should, in accordance with the instructions on the TIC forms, be classified as official, the Federal Reserve Bank with which you file reports should be consulted. It should be noted that the list does not in every case include all alternative names applying to the same institution.

  • A Key Ingredient for Successful Peacekeeping Operations Management by Joseph L
    No. 04-6W Landpower Essay October 2004 An Institute of Land Warfare Publication Special Operators: A Key Ingredient for Successful Peacekeeping Operations Management by Joseph L. Homza Low-intensity operations cannot be won or contained by military power alone. They require the application of all elements of national power across the entire range of conditions which are the source of the conflict.1 U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Special Forces Peacekeeping is not a job for soldiers, but only a soldier can do it.2 Former United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammerskold Multinational and regional alliances, as well as the Charter of the United Nations, include “terms that reflect a determination to provide an international institution that could control conflict” in the Low-Intensity Conflict (LIC) spectrum of war.3 As a defense contractor employed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, I recently had a unique opportunity to participate directly in the Military Observer Mission Ecuador and Peru (MOMEP), an LIC reduction operation conducted by conventional military forces with management influence by Special Operations Forces (SOF). The tenets of campaign analysis—e.g., military historical perspectives, force structure, command and control capabilities and military objectives—provide a paradigm to demonstrate clearly the effectiveness of this conflict management mission performed by SOF in accordance with the ten focus areas stipulated by John M. Collins in Special Operations Forces: An Assessment.4 The MOMEP Confidence Building Measure (CBM) was an example of SOF and conventional military force elements at their operational best. The Organization of American States (OAS), due to the actions of the SOF and conventional units assigned to MOMEP, would experience a successful CBM Peacekeeping Operation (PKO) in a regional context.

Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

  • Gender Policies and Armed Forces in Latin America's Southern Cone
    Gender Policies and Armed Forces in Latin America’s Southern Cone By Sabina Frederic & Sabrina Calandrón The present article first examines the contribution of international organizations to the formulation and implementation of gender integration policies in the armed forces of the Latin American Southern Cone’s three main countries : Argentina, Brazil and Chile. It focuses on and accounts for the various policy contents and levels of implementation in those nations during the 2000-2014 time-bracket as a result of the dissemination of United Nations (UN) Resolution 1325. The said resolution, adopted in 2000, reaffirmed the crucial role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peace-building, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and post-conflict reconstruction, and stresses the importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security.1 The study analyzes the responses, influenced by their respective national contexts, of each of the three countries to that UN Resolution. It will additionally highlight the long- standing local initiatives of the three countries on this subject, and also the various points of contact at the transnational level : the latter clearly shows the distinct regional dimension of gender integration policies in the armed forces of Argentina, Chile, and – to a lesser extent – Brazil. It focuses on the factors that have contributed to such regional policy coherence, as well as those differentiating their gender agendas and policies. The particular concerns of each country, its government procedures, and the situation of its national defence institutions in the context of the democratization of the State and its armed forces are examined along the way.

    INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION SOUTH AMERICAN REGIONAL OFFICE SAM‐AT Project Development Plan for the Sustainability of Air Transport Growth in the South American Region Institutional Strengthening Module of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authorities DRAFT Lima, March 2017 1 Contents Executive summary 3 Introduction 9 Model used for the study 11 Authorities of the South American Region studied 17 Analysis of the independence of the authorities studied 59 Conclusions 63 DRAFT 2 Executive Summary The States of the South American Region are signatories to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, signed in Chicago on December 7, 1944 (Chicago Convention), and are Contracting States of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), body responsible for implementing the provisions of the Convention. As signatories to the Chicago Convention, States have adopted a legal and regulatory framework in the field of civil aviation, based on the provisions of the Convention and in the international standards, recommended practices and procedures prescribed in its 19 Annexes. In that context the civil aviation authorities formulate, promulgate and oversee the implementation of at se of national rules governing civil aviation, air transport and aircraft accident investigation among other aeronautical activities in each State. In conformity with Article 26 of the Chicago Convention, it is incumbent on the State in which an aircraft accident occurs to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the accident. This obligation can be met only when appropriate legislation on aircraft accident investigation is in place. Such legislation shall make provision for the establishment of an accident investigation authority (or commission, board or other body) for the investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents that is independent from State aviation authorities and other entities that could interfere with the conduct or objectivity of an investigation.
