  • Founding of the Nevada Wing Civil Air Patrol
    Founding of the Nevada Wing Civil Air Patrol Col William E. Aceves II Nevada Wing Historian 25 February 2021 Gill Robb Wilson, described in Blazich’s recent book on the Civil Air Patrol as the ‘intellectual founder’ of the organization, started the ball rolling on the creation of the Civil Air Patrol in 1939. He realized that aviation in the United States would be severely curtailed, if not outright banned, within the country should it be dragged into the wars that were being fought on the sides of the oceans that flanked the U.S. mainland. He sought out other similarly minded individuals and they studied what could be done to utilize civilian general aviation as a very useful tool to support whatever national effort for the upcoming involvement in the two-ocean war would look like. By 1941 some individual states were attempting to do the same within their own boarders, but Wilson, et al, were thinking along the lines of a national organization. They studied with great interest the individual state aviation plans. In Ohio, the Civilian Air Reserve (CAR) had been formed in 1939, and by 1941 other CAR units had been formed in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. These groups, with a military organizational structure, would serve their individual states and remain distant from the military. It was clear that civilian pilots wanted to contribute their skills and their machines to a worthy cause. The Federal government also realized that organizing the civilian side of the house was a necessary priority, and President Roosevelt began creating several agencies and offices to study what was needed to prepare the civilian population for war: The Office of Emergency Management, Council on National Defense, National Defense Advisory Commission, and others, came into existence.

  • Ship Covers Relating to the Iran/Iraq Tanker War
    THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR AND RENAMED TANKERS ~ Lawrence Brennan, (US Navy Ret.) SHIP COVERS RELATING TO THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR & REFLAGGED KUWAITI TANKERS, 1987-881 “The Kuwaiti fleet reads like a road map of southern New Jersey” By Captain Lawrence B. Brennan, U.S. Navy Retired2 Thirty years ago there was a New Jersey connection to the long-lasting Iran-Iraq War. That eight years of conflict was one of the longest international two-state wars of the 20th century, beginning in September 1980 and effectively concluding in a truce in August 1988. The primary and bloody land war between Iran and Iraq began during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The Shah had left Iran and that year the USSR invaded Afghanistan. The conflict expanded to sea and involved many neutral nations whose shipping came under attack by the combatants. The parties’ intent was to damage their opponents’ oil exports and revenues and decrease world supplies. Some suggested that Iran and Iraq wanted to draw other states into the conflict. An Iranian source explained the origin of the conflict at sea. The tanker war seemed likely to precipitate a major international incident for two reasons. First, some 70 percent of Japanese, 50 percent of West European, and 7 percent of American oil imports came from the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s. Second, the assault on tankers involved neutral shipping as well as ships of the belligerent states.3 The relatively obscure first phase began in 1981, and the well-publicized second phase began in 1984. New Jersey, half a world away from the Persian (Arabian) gulf, became involved when the United States agreed to escort Kuwait tankers in an effort to support a friendly nation and keep the international waters open.

  • Joint and Combined Warfare in the Twenty-First Century
    Joint and Combined Warfare in the Twenty-first Century Williamson Murray Introduction It is indeed a great honor to present a paper on the future of Joint and Combined operations in the twenty-first century before such a distinguished audience. To do so, this paper will begin with an examination of the historical antecedents of these two forms of warfare up to the present; and end with thoughts about the role of joint and combined operations in the twenty-first century. To do so, we will begin by discussing the fundamental, unchanging nature of war to indicate why a purely technological, mechanistic conception of war would destroy the very joint capabilities on which military forces from the First World must depend in the coming century. Let me begin then with some thoughts on the political nature of war. As the Greek historian Thucydides, the greatest of all strategic and military historians, commented at the end of the fifth century B.C.: “It will be enough for me, however, if these words of mine are judged useful by those who want to understand clearly the events which happened in the past and which (human nature being what it is) will, at some time or other and in much the same ways, be repeated in the future.”1 Men have fought wars for enumerable reasons, but states fight wars for political reaso 276ns.2 Or as Clausewitz put it so simply: “it is clear, consequently, that war is not a mere act of policy, but a true political instrument, a continuation of political activity by other means.”3 “War 1 Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, translated by Rex Warner (New York, reprinted 1986), p.

  • JP 0-2, "Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF)"
    Joint Publication 0-2 Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF) 10 July 2001 The enduring theme, “joint warfare is team warfare,” is an attitude based on the foundation of joint doctrine that is universally understood and practiced. This team approach ensures the most effective employment of US forces for joint warfare. If we are to continue to improve the structure of US forces for joint warfare, everyone must be involved. Capstone publications Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of the United States and this publication, Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF), provide the foundation for all the joint publications. Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF) provides the basic doctrine and policy governing the unified direction of forces and discusses the functions of the Department of Defense and its major components. This revision represents the evolution in US warfighting guidance since the last edition, serves as the policy document for all command relationships and other authorities directed by law, and clarifies these relationships. This publication also sets forth the concepts, relationships, and processes necessary for unified action of joint, interagency, and multinational operations and specifies fundamental principles and concepts for joint operations. The nature of modern warfare demands that we fight as a team. Unified action resulting from clear command relationships and unity of effort is crucial to making this possible. Commanders must ensure the widest distribution and application of this and other supporting joint publications in order to enable success in joint force employment. HENRY H. SHELTON Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff PREFACE 1. Scope publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the The principles set forth in this publication mission in a manner the JFC deems most will be applied to accomplish congressional appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the intent expressed in the National Security Act accomplishment of the overall mission.
