To address that this document has been prepared that will hopefully go some way towards explanation. If you train with the regular or reserve armed forces you will come across many of the more obscure acronyms. Naturally this document is in a state of continuous update as new and mysterious acronyms are created.

Foreword Celebrating 150 years of the Cadets The Cadet Forces have, not unnaturally, come a long way from their 1860s origins. They have evolved into unique voluntary youth organisations, offering young people opportunities to develop themselves, to try new adventures and activities, and to learn key lessons in citizenship and the importance of society. But their links to the Armed Forces are as strong as ever. In many areas of the country they are the only face of the Services in the community. They take pride in the values and ethos of the Armed Forces and the lessons of good citizenship and responsibilities these bring. Their essential links with the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations, which help administer and support them, are equally strong. None of this would be possible without the Adult Volunteers, whose commitment, leadership and example underpin the development and success of the Cadet Movement. Their reward Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, is to see the cadets change for the better as they are given a Chief of the Defence Staff head-start in life, and as they develop links with the community in which they live.

    Battle Management Language: History, Employment and NATO Technical Activities

    Battle Management Language: History, Employment and NATO Technical Activities Mr. Kevin Galvin Quintec Mountbatten House, Basing View, Basingstoke Hampshire, RG21 4HJ UNITED KINGDOM [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper is one of a coordinated set prepared for a NATO Modelling and Simulation Group Lecture Series in Command and Control – Simulation Interoperability (C2SIM). This paper provides an introduction to the concept and historical use and employment of Battle Management Language as they have developed, and the technical activities that were started to achieve interoperability between digitised command and control and simulation systems. 1.0 INTRODUCTION This paper provides a background to the historical employment and implementation of Battle Management Languages (BML) and the challenges that face the military forces today as they deploy digitised C2 systems and have increasingly used simulation tools to both stimulate the training of commanders and their staffs at all echelons of command. The specific areas covered within this section include the following: • The current problem space. • Historical background to the development and employment of Battle Management Languages (BML) as technology evolved to communicate within military organisations. • The challenges that NATO and nations face in C2SIM interoperation. • Strategy and Policy Statements on interoperability between C2 and simulation systems. • NATO technical activities that have been instigated to examine C2Sim interoperation. 2.0 CURRENT PROBLEM SPACE “Linking sensors, decision makers and weapon systems so that information can be translated into synchronised and overwhelming military effect at optimum tempo” (Lt Gen Sir Robert Fulton, Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, 29th May 2002) Although General Fulton made that statement in 2002 at a time when the concept of network enabled operations was being formulated by the UK and within other nations, the requirement remains extant.

    RESTRICTED Chapter 3 MILITARY KNOWLEDGE CCF AND ACF SECTION 1. — RANKS AND BADGES OF RANK 0301. The aim of this Section is to teach cadets the names and ranks of the offi- cers, SSIs and AIs in their own contingents/detachments, and where appropriate, those in their superior headquarters. The opportunity is taken to explain military ranks and badges of rank at the same time. 0302. The ranks and badges of rank shown below should be known by all cadets: Officers Second Lieutenant Captain Major Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Non Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers Lance Corporal Sergeant Staff Warrant Warrant Corporal Sergeant Officer Officer Class 2 Class 1 (WO2) (WO1) Fig 56. — Ranks and Badges of Rank RESTRICTED 3-1 RESTRICTED SECTION 2. — ARMY STRUCTURE — ARMS AND SERVICES 0303. As cadets gain a knowledge of basic military training by working their way through the APC syllabus, it is desirable that they gain a more general knowledge of how the Army is organized into Regiments and Corps. Any cadet who requires fur- ther information about the Army can obtain it from his own contingent or detachment officer, from the schools liaison officer or from the nearest Job Centre. 0304. The people of Britain live in freedom, but only because we have always fought to keep that freedom whenever it was attacked. Our Armed Forces stand in constant readiness to defend the United Kingdom in time of war or world tension. The Cold War has ended but the world today is still unstable. The rise of nationalism, eth- nic strife, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and threat to the world environment are all increasing.
