Brexit has absorbed much of the UK Government's attention and dominated both the Parliamentary agenda and the media’s interest in events. Consequently, the Society has been in demand for advice and perspectives on the implications. Yet 2018 also saw major progress in a number of significant aviation and aerospace endeavours. The welcome release of the Aerospace Sector Deal demonstrated the firm intent shared by government and industry to transform the sector by funding research and development in a number of novel technologies that will have a huge impact Chief Executive of the RAeS, Sir Brian Burridge KCB CBE ADC on the air travel experience of tomorrow.

En accord avec le Directeur Général de l’Aviation Civile et le Chef d’état-major de l’armée de l’air qui vont nous faire l’honneur d’ouvrir et de clore cette journée, le comité de pilotage de RACAM, composé de tous les partenaires de cette manifestation annuelle, a choisi cette année pour thème « La sûreté aérienne face aux nouvelles menaces ». Ce sujet est naturellement au cœur de l’objectif général des rencontres et de sa devise « Civils et militaires : bâtir un ciel plus sûr ». Au sein de nos sociétés contemporaines dont une des caractéristiques essentielles est la liberté et la mobilité des individus, les attentats du 11 septembre sont venus rappeler la vulnérabilité des réseaux de transports aériens. La sûreté des transports aériens représente donc un enjeu symbolique de premier ordre, compte tenu de la forte visibilité des catastrophes aériennes et de leur impact psychologique.

During what can only be described as a tumultuous political year, our nation experienced a presidential campaign unlike any other I can recall. National security factored promi- nently in the campaign, particularly in several of the debates. AUSA, true to our non-par- tisan tradition, provided a platform for the advancement of a strong defense based on our uniquely American values. “America’s Purpose,” a short, but impactful, document published by AUSA, offered thoughts of how the next president, irrespective of party, might craft an effective foreign policy. This initiative, led by GEN Gordon Sullivan, U.S. Army Retired, LTG Guy Swan, U.S. Army Retired, LTC Douglas Merritt and Richard Lim, presented GEN Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army “America’s Purpose” to the most senior advisors to both leading presidential candidates. Retired, President & CEO, AUSA You’ll find “America’s Purpose” in the Publications section of our website and I encourage you to read it. For us at the AUSA National Office, the biggest change was the retirement of General Sullivan after more than 18 years as president & chief executive officer.

    RAF News Brief 2019/2 Organisation Operational Service Medal In 2017, Her Majesty The Queen agreed the introduction of a new Operational Service Medal (OSM) for Op SHADER. In February 2019, Her Majesty The Queen graciously approved an extension of the medal without clasp for personnel assessed as making a significant and direct operational contribution, but outside the joint operational area for Op SHADER. Under new rules, personnel from all three services serving from outside the traditional area of operations, such as operators of RAF Reaper Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) aircraft, can now receive the Op SHADER medal without clasp. The award of the medal reflects the changing nature of modern conflict and recognises the vital contribution that personnel working from outside the operational area of Iraq and Syria have made to the campaign. This will be the first time that RPAS crews have received formal medallic recognition. Ground crew serving at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where UK airstrikes over Iraq and Syria are launched from are also eligible, as well as Army and Navy personnel providing logistic and communications support. Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, said: “I am delighted to see this wider recognition of the RAF’s vital contribution to Op SHADER. Under the previous criteria, only about 14% of RAF personnel who had supported Op SHADER were entitled to receive the OSM. Under the new criteria, that proportion rises to over two-thirds. I extend my personal thanks and congratulations to all those who will now receive the OSM for their outstanding Op SHADER contribution.” Update on Defence Estate Optimisation Programme The MOD published an update to the Defence Estate Optimisation Programme in March 2019, setting new information for 33 military sites across the UK.

The badge: ‘A sun in splendour divided by a flash of lightning’ was approved by HRH King Edward VIII in May 1936.
