  • Moüjmtaiim Operations
    L f\f¿ áfó b^i,. ‘<& t¿ ytn) ¿L0d àw 1 /1 ^ / / /This publication contains copyright material. *FM 90-6 FieW Manual HEADQUARTERS No We DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Washington, DC, 30 June 1980 MOÜJMTAIIM OPERATIONS PREFACE he purpose of this rUanual is to describe how US Army forces fight in mountain regions. Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • “La Via Dell'acquaˮ in Valle Morobbia Di Graziano Tarilli
    “La Via dell’acquaˮ in valle Morobbia di Graziano Tarilli L’utilizzazione della forza idraulica, forma di energia ottenuta mediante la caduta d’acqua attraverso un dislivello, è molto antica: si diffuse su larga scala nel Medioevo a partire dal 12° secolo. Lo sfruttamento industriale del cosiddetto carbone bianco per la produzione di energia elettrica iniziò alla fine dell’Ottocento. Il Ticino – in particolare nelle valli del Sopraceneri – è fra i cantoni che dispongono di questa risorsa idrica insostituibile, grazie alle abbondanti precipitazioni e ai forti dislivelli. Ai primi impianti di Faido (1889), Airolo e Lugano (1890) che producevano energia elettrica soprattutto per l’illuminazione pubblica, seguì Bellinzona. Nella città, da appena tredici anni capitale stabile del Cantone, dopo aver abbandonato l’idea dell’illuminazione a gas si considerò la possibilità di sfruttare le acque delle valli di Arbedo e Sementina, poi della Moesa. Alla fine si scelse di costruire un impianto idroelettrico nella valle di Gorduno, inaugurato il primo febbraio del 1891 e che rappresentò l’esempio di prima azienda municipalizzata del Cantone. “Da domenica sera, Bellinzona è illuminata a luce elettrica; il fausto avvenimento venne festeggiato con sparo di cannoni, musica e fiaccolataˮ, come riporta la “Gazzetta ticineseˮ del 3 febbraio. Al Teatro Sociale si svolse una serata di gala con la nuova illuminazione. Ben presto la struttura si rivelò insufficiente di fronte alle richieste di privati e aziende, fra le quali la nuova officina della Ferrovia del Gottardo, attiva da pochi anni. Dopo aver valutato diversi progetti, la città decise nel 1898 lo sfruttamento delle acque della Morobbia, valle laterale del Ticino che si estende dal passo San Jorio fino a Giubiasco.
