ABN 29 293 433 202 General Sir Harry Chauvel: A Humble Hero By Honor Auchenlek Anyone who has served in the Royal Australian Armoured Corps has heard of General Sir Harry Chauvel who led the now legendary Desert Mounted Corps in Palestine. Other than reminding some readers that through achieving victory, notably in 1917 at Beersheba and Chauvel and his Desert Mounted Corps’ triumphal entry into Damascus on 1st October 1918, I don’t think there is any need to go into Chauvel’s military biography. Appropriately Chauvel was promoted to General, together with Monash on 11th November 1929, and I believe Chauvel was the first regular officer to achieve the rank. Rather than seeking recognition for his successes, Chauvel saw those achievements as being those of the men under his command. Dying on 4th March 1945, eight years before I was born, I never knew my grandfather. From all I have read and from those who knew him with whom I have spoken, I never gained the impression that he sought popularity or felt under recognised - rather that his reward was in his service to others and to his community and the nation that nurtured him.

In land-based operations to defeat these threats and their accompanying realities, the focus falls on soldiers, security forces and first responders who – often at the risk of their own lives – protect people, enforce justice and guard assets on behalf of their governments. These are dangerous jobs, and there is a clear duty of care upon the employers for the health and well-being of their “human assets”.

Morozova, Volgograd State Technical University, Lenin Avenue, 28, Volgograd, 400005, Russia. Tel: 79-05-334-9998 E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 15, 2014 Accepted: September 15, 2014 Online Published: November 14, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n23p68 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n23p68 Abstract Agricultural equipment manufacturing is one of the most strategically important sectors of national economy providing to a large extent food security of the country. The modern society faces food problems, therefore problems of agricultural economy development, as well as problems of manufacturing modern agricultural equipment competitive with foreign analogues; hence, the issue of studying the Russian market of agricultural equipment is not only of current interest but as well of strategic importance. The article analyzes the condition of the Russian agricultural equipment market, which has been critically monopolized today. At the same time, negative tendencies fully formed in its system can exert negative and significant influence on the national food security (when the customers have no appropriate market choice of agricultural equipment; with vigorous price manipulations of the sellers; information failure as well as non-equal terms of market behavior for different producers). The authors believe that these tendencies cannot be resolved without active and cautious interference of the state specifically into the processes of developing highly competitive business environment.
