F. PIRIE President About 95 members were present HE President invited the meeting to stand for a minute in silence in memory of Leslie Topsfield. Fellow of the College, who had done much for the Society, together with Sir T Frank Bower, Fellow Commoner, who had also supported the Society throughout his long life. 1. Minutes of the previous meeting The minutes of the Meeting of Saturday 26th September 1981 were approved and signed. 2. Report by the Honorary Secretary The Secretary restated the reasons he had given four years previously for the effectiveness of the Society. Firstly, the Society in its present form, composed of the Master and Fellows and all present and former graduates and undergraduates fulfilled the aspirations of the founder F. M. Rushmore. Membership applied whether a man had been an undergraduate at the College or had come to it later as a graduate or Fellow: it also applied to the ladies. He referred to the widespread problem of nomenclature caused by gender. Fortunately that did not apply to the Society for all were Members or Honorary Members. His second reason was the willingness of members, living far from Cambridge, to organise regional reunions. The third reason was the consistently high quality of the magazine. He paid tribute to former editors, to Stanley Aston and to the Revd John Mullett. The publication of some old photographs by Stanley Aston had been appreciated and had caused some members to bring other old photographs for retention among the College archives. In response to the note by the editor the artist who drew the 1982 cover proved to be S. R. Kendon (1973-80). He had made the drawing in 1975 and was thanked. The inclusion within the magazine of material formerly distributed as enclosures had worked well. The continued co-operation of the Printers was appreciated. Referring to the article by Professor Steers on life in College during and after the 1914-18 war, the Secretary said that it was fully in accord with the editorial conception when the magazine was first started. In the first issue in 1927 there were articles on life in Cambridge from the middle of the last century. In the 1929 edition Alfred Steers had made a contribution describing the Great Barrier Reef Expedition which he had led in the previous year. In writing for the magazine over a period spanning 53 years he had added a minor achievement to his many major ones. In 1981 the Meeting had supported a recommendation that the Quincentenary Appeal should be re-activated, perhaps with a younger committee and a new title. But such a committee could not work effectively without a readily available up-to-date register of members. He reported that the Governing Body had authorised the installation of a computer terminal in College connected with the University Computer. That would bring many advantages to College, in addition it would enable a new register to be produced in the modern manner. The University Computer had details of persons in residence and would automatically receive information about anyone coming up to College. A graduate in Computer Science had been appointed by the Governing Body to put into the computer the record from the College index of Members in the course of the coming academic year. The computer would then be able to run off a complete College Register. Details of the availability of the Register to Members would be published in the 1983 magazine.

    Page 1 of 120 Forsvarets høgskole våren 2013 Masteroppgave Intelligence in Support of Military Operations What Was the Role of US Military Intelligence in the Falaise Pocket Battle August 1944? Trygve Smidt Page 2 of 120 Page 3 of 120 1 Introduction From my own experience and study of military history, understanding what is really going on as well as the opportunities and threats, i.e. situational awareness, is crucial for sound decision making in battles, operations and campaigns. It seems this is universal and timeless although the internal weighting among the detailed factors will vary among these levels. Intelligence has been described as a key tool to building situational awareness in ancient manuscripts from Zun Tsu, until today’s doctrines. To understand bygone battles and campaigns, and especially to build knowledge about the dilemmas of command and control, it is important to consider what information was available to the commanders. Although one has to understand that intelligence is one of several factors to consider, any study of military operations1 without considering intelligence will miss a crucial aspect of the whole picture. Numerous military units are mentioned in this study. To be able to distinguish nationalities and levels of command they are referred to differently, see Appendix H – Unit reference Formats The US organized their staffs after the French “G-system” from Brigade up to Army Group and SHAEF. For those not familiar with this organization and their functional responsibilities, see Appendix A - US Organization of Army Group Staffs and Army Staffs. 1 I will use “operations”, to include battles and campaigns, throughout the introduction.

  • Juno Beach Landing Tables
    Operation Overlord/Neptune Force 'J' - Juno Beach They were Waiting - German Defences The Germans used millions of slave labourers during four years of occupation to construct the 'Atlantic Wall' - a modern fortification system along the coast of France. The fortifications consisted of a series of reinforced concrete gun emplacements supported by well protected infantry strong-points and heavy machine gun nests overlooking the beaches. These were surrounded by trenches with mortars and machine guns. The beaches were strewn with obstacles and mines. Tetrahedral obstacles - three iron bars intersecting at rights angles had been constructed on the beaches. Fields of barbed wire and mines covered the land past the beaches. Also the seafront houses provided excellent observation and firing positions for snipers. There were 32 static Infantry Divisions of widely varying quality defending these fortifications along the French and Dutch coast. This first line of defence was backed up by Panzer Divisions (Armoured and Motorized Divisions) positioned inland from the Atlantic wall. The strategy was, if the Atlantic wall were breached, theses elite formations of crack mobile troops would strike as soon as possible after the landing and throw the Canadians and the Allies back into the sea. Within striking distance of the coast were five first-class divisions: the 21st Panzer Division with an estimated 350 tanks, the 12th SS Division with 150 tanks, the Panzer Lehr Division in the Le Mans area and two more tank divisions in the Seine. The proximity of 12th SS and 21st Panzer Divisions made it difficult for the British and Canadians to capture their objectives of Caen on D-Day.
