  • Military Operations in Libya
    Military Operations in Libya Standard Note: SN/IA/5909 Last updated: 24 October 2011 Author: Claire Taylor Section International Affairs and Defence Section On 17 March 2011 the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1973 (2011), under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which authorised the use of force, including enforcement of a no-fly zone, enforcement of a UN arms embargo against Libya and to protect civilians and civilian areas targeted by the Qaddafi regime and its supporters. The weekend of 19/20 March saw French, British and US military action begin under Operation Odyssey Dawn. By the end of March command of that operation had been gradually transitioned to NATO. On 23 March NATO assumed command of operations to enforce the UN arms embargo. The transfer of command responsibility for the no-fly zone was agreed on 24 March; while the decision to transfer command and control for all military operations in Libya was taken on 27 March. NATO formally assumed command under Operation Unified Protector at 0600 hours on 31 March 2011. Military operations have been ongoing for seven months. During that time there have been criticisms of stalemate in the military campaign, allegations over burden sharing among NATO Member States, and questions over the existence of a viable exit strategy. Following the fall of Sirte and the death of Colonel Gadaffi, Libya’s transitional government declared liberation on 23 October 2011. The NATO Secretary General also confirmed in a statement that a preliminary decision had been taken to end Operation Unified Protector on 31 October 2011. However, he also went on to state that NATO would monitor the situation and retain the capacity to respond to threats to civilians if necessary.

  • Royal Air Force College Journal
    THE ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE JOURNAL CRANWELL AUGUST 2016 VOL LXXXV ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE CRANWELL JOURNAL VOLUME LXXXV Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief Air Commodore C J Luck Editor Mrs A Sturtridge Page 1 FOREWORD By Air Commodore C J Luck Welcome to first edition of the revitalised Journal of the RAF College. After a hiatus of several years it has been re-born as a largely electronic publication with a limited run of hard copies. There is much that you might recognise from earlier editions and the editorial team have aimed to reflect the wide range of activity at Cranwell over the last year. It has been a very busy year for the RAF College. There have been significant changes coming out of SDSR15 which have led to an increase in the number of Phase 1 courses going through the College and an increase in the number of Officer Cadets on each course. This will feed an uplift in the number of Phase 2 trainees at Cranwell and elsewhere. In order to manage this increase in the training task the IOT course has been shortened from 30 weeks to 24 weeks. Considerable efforts have been made to ensure that the new course is more efficient and to protect key learning objectives. The College has continued to support a very busy calendar of events in the last year. With over 900 applications for events at Cranwell we have focussed on those which meet our training and engagement objectives while supporting the wider RAF. This year they mark their 75th Anniversary with a parade and Cranwell celebrated 100 years as a military flying “extravaganza” in front of College Hall.
