Introduction and Background Introduction 1.1 Since the inception of the Royal Navy SW England, and in particular the area around Plymouth, has been inextricably linked with the armed forces. This link has led to the development of numerous dockyards, barracks, coastal defences, ranges and training areas throughout the SW which in turn has resulted in the area being steeped in military history and architecture. DTE SW currently own or lease in excess of 16,540ha of land in the SW in order to support military training. As a consequence of military ownership, a lack of urban and agricultural development and the low impact of military training much of this land has been designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA), it is also contains over 340 Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM). 1.2 The purpose of this paper is to justify the MoD’s land holdings in DTE SW. Approach 1.3 The approach taken in this paper is: • To define the current training demand and possible future demand for training in DTE SW area and in particular on Dartmoor. • To look at the resources that are currently available to meet the identified training requirement, including Training on Private Land (TOPL), Simulation, Training Overseas and the acquisition of additional training land. • To draw conclusions. • To make recommendations. Assumptions 1.4 A number of important assumptions underpin the assessments, conclusions and recommendations of this report, namely: • The implementation of the Future Army Structure (FAS). • The concept of Army Super Garrisons (ASG). 4 • The conclusions of the High Level Assumptions Paper (HLAP). 1 Future Army Structure (FAS) 1.5 The first assumption is that the FAS proposals will be implemented. Following the publication of the Defence White Paper in December 2003, proposals for re- balancing the Army were presented in the FAS. An update on the implementation of these proposals, particularly those regarding the re-structuring of the Infantry, was presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Defence on 16 December 2004. This re-balancing is underpinned by 2 complementary changes: • The move towards a more balanced force organised around two armoured brigades, three mechanised brigades, a light and an air assault brigade, in addition to the Royal Marines Commando Brigade (3 Cdo Bde). • A move towards making the Army more robust and resilient and able to sustain enduring expeditionary operations. 1.6 Specific measures include: • The re-rolling of 4 Brigade (4 Bde) from Armoured to Mechanised. • The re-rolling of 19 Brigade (19 Bde) from Mechanised to Light. • The Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) will reduce by 7 Challenger 2 (CR2) Squadrons. • An additional reconnaissance regiment will be formed providing each of the Armoured and Mechanised Brigades with its own reconnaissance regiment. • Armoured Regiments in Mechanised Brigades will have an interim ‘Light Squadron’ as the first step towards developing a medium armoured capability ahead of the introduction of the Future Rapid Effects System (FRES). • The sixth AS90 Artillery Regiment will be re-roled to Light Gun in order to support 19 Bde. • An additional Regimental Headquarters and Engineer Squadron will be formed to support 3 Cdo Bde. • 101 Logistics Brigade (101 Log Bde) will be based in Aldershot. 1 HQ DTE Higher Level Assumptions Paper dated 25 May 2006. 5 1.7 Changes to the Infantry reflect the move to larger, multi-battalion regiments, which will result in battalions fixed by role and largely by location. Within the framework of the regimental structure, this will be achieved by having regiments of more than one battalion and a reduction in the number of battalions from 40 to 36. This new structure is known as the Future Infantry Structure (FIS). The Director of Infantry’s staff has confirmed that, despite this overall reduction, the number of Infantry Battalions based in the UK is likely to increase. This is partly because the Army Board aspires to having a UK based Army in the medium term and assumes we would need to find basing locations for over 20,000 personnel returning from Germany prior to 20302. Army Super Garrisons (ASG) 1.8 The concept of ASG was introduced in the Strategy of the Army Estate 3 (SAE) to meet the basing and estate challenges of an Army that is likely to be progressively UK based. This was followed by a paper whose purpose was to propose “an Army view of Super Garrisons and their possible locations to meet single Service and Defence estate needs and makes recommendations for subsequent work”4. Force Levels in Germany 1.9 It is the intention of the MoD to reduce force levels in Germany by 20,000 during the next 30 years5. These reductions will involve the move of 4 Mechanised Brigade (4 Mech Bde) back to the UK in the very near future and the possible relocation of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), 102 Logistic Brigade (102 Log Bde) and 1 Signal Brigade (1 Sig Bde) to the UK over the period 2008 to 2026. These proposed moves will place considerable added demand on UK based Defence training assets. High Level Assumptions Paper (HLAP) 2 Army Board Meeting of 22 November 2001. 3 ECAB/P(03)/20 dated 11 October 2003. 4 ECAB/P(04)/13 dated 21 October 2004. 5 Min AF Statement July 2006 6 1.10 As a pre-cursor to the preparation of this paper HQ DTE produced a HLAP (Annex A). The key conclusions of the HLAP are: • The Armed Forces will be of a broadly similar size and shape until 2050 unless there is a significant change in Foreign Policy. • The training requirement is likely to become more demanding on the training estate as the ranges and capabilities of weapons and equipment increases particularly with the introduction of FRES. • Simulation will enhance but not provide a substitute for live fire tactical training. • The general size and shape of the training estate will not change significantly but it will increasingly need to take account of environmental considerations. 7 2. An Outline of Army Training Introduction 2.1 The purpose of this chapter is to explain, in general terms, how the Army is trained7. There is a requirement for individual training for recruits and for trained soldiers as part of their career development. There is also a need for the collective training of units (Battalions) and formations (Brigades). 2.2 Individual and collective training can be defined as follows: • Individual training is the training of individual soldiers in order to equip them with the skills necessary to survive on the battlefield, these include such skills as weapon handling, fitness, fieldcraft, the exercise of command and control and the maintenance of military standards in a large range of areas including fitness, first aid in battle, map reading and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) protection procedures. It also includes Mandatory Annual Military Training Tests (MATTS)8 and career development courses and is carried out at recruit training centres, other specialist centres and within soldiers' units. • Collective training is the training of formed (Field Army) units and their component parts, i.e. groups of soldiers, rather than individuals, to undertake their collective tasks. 2.3 The terms “unit' and 'sub-unit' are generic and relate to size, in the infantry the unit is called a battalion which is sub-divided into a number of companies.

These forces are routinely employed in maritime Nsecurity, noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO), counterterrorism, stability operations, and other missions. In addition to U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Navy forces, the Alliance’s amphibious forces include large ships and associated landing forces from five nations: France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK).

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    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.

  • Hans Knot International Radio Report April 2016 Welcome to Another
    Hans Knot International Radio Report April 2016 Welcome to another edition of the International Radio Report. Thanks all for your e mails, memories, photos, questions and more. Part of the report is what was left after the March edition was totally filled and so let’s go with this edition in which first there’s space for a story I wrote last months after again doing some research: ‘Ronan O’Rahilly, Georgie Fame and the Blue Fames. Where it really went wrong!’ On this subject I’ve written before but let’s go back in time and also add some new facts to it: ‘Was Ronan O’Rahilly the manager of Georgie Fame?’ I can tell you there was a problem with an important instrument. When in April 1964 Granada Television came with an edition of the ‘World in action’ series, which was a production from Michael Hodges, they informed the television public about a new form of Piracy, the watery pirates. Two radio ships bringing music and entertainment under the names of Radio Caroline and Radio Atlanta. Radio Caroline was the first 20th century Pirate off the British coast with programs, at that stage, for 12 hours a day. Interviews with the Caroline people were made in the offices of Queen Magazine in the city of London and included – among others – Jocelyn Stevens and the then 23-year old Irish Ronan O’Rahilly. During this documentary it became known, which we would also read in several newspapers in the then following weeks, that Ronan O’Rahilly had started his radiostation Caroline as he couldn’t get his artists played on stations like Radio Luxembourg.

Just 4 weeks later, the regime was removed and most of Iraq was under coalition control. The success of the military campaign owed much to the determination and professionalism of the coalition’s Armed Forces and the civilians who supported them. I regret that, during the course of combat operations and subsequently, a number of Service personnel lost their lives. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. The UK is playing a full part in the re-building of Iraq through the establishment of conditions for a stable and law-abiding Iraqi government. This process will not be easy after years of repression and neglect by a brutal regime. Our Armed Forces are performing a vital and dangerous role by contributing to the creation of a secure environment so that normal life can be resumed, and by working in support of humanitarian organisations to help the Iraqi people.
