Bunche Under-Secretary for Special Political Affairs United Nations Eqs., New York. DETAILED REPORT ON J£fMJ AND KASHMIR INCIDENTS FECK 5 AUGUST 1965 1. This report which was mentioned in the last paragraph of my UJSMOG 423, details the serious incidents which occurred in KASHMIR since the 5th August 65 and which have been reported to you in my UNMOG 413 and subsequent messages. 2. The events are reported in a chronological order and cover only the important incidents which have been officially brought to the attention of this mission and investigated by Observers. This report could not have been prepared earlier because of the following factors :- a. Incidents were not always reported immediately to the Military Observers; on some occasions they were reported 4 days later only. b. Difficulties in reaching the scenes of the incidents because of continuous firing in the areas concerned. c. Difficulties in receiving the written reports from the Observers because the roads and tracks were still closed for security reasons. 3. Before reviewing the events, I wish to comment on the general situation which prevailed before this outbreak of violence. Since the serious incidents which occurred in KARGIL Sector at the end of May and at the beginning of June 65 and the Rann of Sitch Agreement, the situation all along the GFL and the border had calmed down and it was hoped that the number of incidents would continue to decrease as it has been reported to you in my reports Nos. 352, 353 and 354. UNITED NATIONS MILITARY OBSERVER GROUP IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN - 2 - 4. On 5 July 65, I received a complaint from Indian Army EQ, Hew Delhi, that additional troops had "been inducted by Pakistan into KASHMIR. Military Observers visited the areas concerned on several occasions and reported that they had not detected any forces in excess of the forces normally stationed in their areas of responsibility. Routine reliefs in the line had taken place on both sides. However, Observers had repeatedly noted considerable strengthening of defences on both sides. As late as 6 August 65, I received SBOBET information from one of my Teams that a convoy of 19 vehicles bringing armed civilians had been seen in SAWALAKOT Sector on 24 July 65. 5. SEgCTBHOB OP EVENTS a. The first serious incident was reported by local commander to GALUTHI UKFO Team on 6 August 65.

  • The All–American Airman
    John Alison shot down two—or perhaps three—enemy aircraft in his first aerial combat, and went on from there. The All–American Airman By Walter J. Boyne N late 1940, a delegation from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek Iwas in the United States to buy airplanes for what would become the fabled American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers. A demonstration of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was laid on at Bolling Field in Washington for the Chinese visitors and their American advisor, Claire L. Chennault. The pilot for the demonstration was 2nd Lt. John R. Alison. As Chennault would later recall in his book, Way of a Fighter, Alison “got more out of that P-40 in his five-minute demonstration than anybody I ever saw before or after. ... “When he landed, they pointed at the P-40 and smiled, ‘We need 100 of these.’ ‘No,’ I said, pointing to Alison, ‘you need 100 of these.’ ” As always, Chennault was an excel- lent judge of people. Within a few years, Alison would be flying P-40s for Chennault in China—where he would shoot down two Japanese aircraft (a third was unconfirmed) in his first aerial com- bat. Later, along with his friend, Phil 52 AIR FORCE Magazine / March 2000 Standing (l–r) beside a Curtiss P-40 are Maj. John Alison, Maj. “Tex” Hill, Capt. “Ajax” Baumler, and Lt. Mack Mitchell.

Following his tour in Vietnam, Secretary Hagel graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha using the G.I. Bill. Continuing his commitment to public service, Secretary Hagel became Chief of Staff to Nebraska Congressman John Y. McCollister. In 1981, Secretary Hagel was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to serve as Deputy Administrator of the Veterans Administration. In that post he helped pioneer early electronic health recordkeeping and pushed for increased benefits for Vietnam veterans suffering from Agent Orange. This fight became one of the causes of his life, later helping federal courts distribute hundreds of millions of dollars for Agent Orange victims through the Court settlement that set up the Agent Orange Payment Program which he chaired. In the mid-1980’s, Secretary Hagel co-founded Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc., which became one of the largest independent cellular networks in the country. Secretary Hagel also served as President and CEO of the USO; the Chief Operating Officer of the 1990 Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations (G–7 Summit) in Houston, Texas; Deputy Commissioner General of the United States for the 1982 World’s Fair, President of the Private Sector Council and President of McCarthy & Company, an Omaha based investment bank.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.
