  • Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro
    Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro t will not be a typical issue of the Baltic Amber magazine since the occasion is unusual – IMultinational Corps Northeast celebrated its 10th birthday in 2009. Facts will not be in major focus either, because it will be more about emotions and memories. After all, they have greater power than tangible documents with detailed data. The intention of this issue of the Baltic Amber is to present the story of Multinational Corps Northeast; the Corps, which has managed to cover many pages of its 10-year history with successes and highlights. This story will be told by people whose experiences have been scattered in time and space. But they all have met here, in Baltic Barracks, home of the Corps. These people will present the Corps’ history from their own perspective, which may not necessarily be the only one and complete, but it will defi nitely have a human touch. It is the right time and place to listen to people who make this Corps strong. The following pages of the Baltic Amber will take you deep into the Corps’ world. You will fi nd out what the process of founding the Corps looked like, what events shaped the Corps throughout those past 10 years and what the current and future challenges and visions to be met are. All this will give you a taste of a multinational adventure and unique character of this “Corps of the new Millennium” and its 10 years of success.

  • NATO High Commander Issues Illegitimate Order to Kill
    SPIEGEL ONLINE - Druckversion - Battling Afghan Drug Dealers: NATO High Comm ... Page 1 of 2 01/28/2009 08:22 PM BATTLING AFGHAN DRUG DEALERS NATO High Commander Issues Illegitimate Order to Kill By Susanne Koelbl The approach to combatting the drug mafia in Afghanistan has spurred an open rift inside NATO. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, top NATO commander John Craddock wants the alliance to kill opium dealers, without proof of connection to the insurgency. NATO commanders, however, do not want to follow the order. A dispute has emerged among NATO High Command in Afghanistan regarding the conditions under which alliance troops can use deadly violence against those identified as insurgents. In a classified document, which SPIEGEL has obtained, NATO's top commander, US General John Craddock, has issued a "guidance" providing NATO troops with the authority "to attack directly drug producers and facilities throughout Afghanistan." According to the document, deadly force is to be used even in those cases where there is no proof that suspects are actively engaged in the armed resistance against the Afghanistan government or against Western troops. It is "no longer necessary to produce intelligence or other evidence that each particular drug trafficker or narcotics facility in Afghanistan meets the criteria of being a military objective," Craddock writes. The NATO commander has long been frustrated by the reluctance of some NATO member states -- particularly Germany -- to take aggressive action against those involved in the drug trade. Craddock rationalizes his directive by writing that the alliance "has decided that (drug traffickers and narcotics facilities) are inextricably linked to the Opposing Military Forces, and thus may be attacked." In the document, Craddock writes that the directive is the result of an October 2008 meeting of NATO defense ministers in which it was agreed that NATO soldiers in Afghanistan may attack opium traffickers.
