广开国防教育渠道

国防教育不能只局限于课堂教育一种形式,应拓宽路子,广开渠道。首先,应抓好报刊教育。逐步在群众中扩大《解放军报》、《中国民兵》等报刊的订阅范围,地方报刊可开办国防教育专版或专栏,抓好自办的民兵政治教育报刊以及公共场所的国防知识宣传栏、黑板

要做好报刊的订阅发行工作

贾波和陈永文同志能够大胆地反映基层报刊征订工作中存在的问题,畅所欲言地提出自己的看法和意见,这种认真负责的精神十分可贵,应给予肯定。 报刊征订是基层的一项重要工作。现代社会是一个信息社会,报刊在现代社会传递信息的作用不言自明。在我国,报刊同时肩负着传达党的大政方针,正确的舆论导向,鼓舞和感召人民的重任,一些工作指导类的报刊的作用更大。因此,各级强调报刊订阅工作的意义就在情理之中。但     

军队报刊在部队国防教育活动中应发挥更大作用

开展国防教育,是加强国防建设、维护国家安全的一项战略性任务。国防教育的对象是包括军人在内的全体公民,国防教育的形式、手段、途径,因不同时代和不同教育群体而多种多样。实践表明,军队报刊作为传播思想文化、开展全民教育的重要载体,在开展国防教育、宣传国防知识、增强官兵国防观念和爱军习武精神方面,具有独特的优势:军队报刊涵盖全军各行各业各系统,具有广泛的覆盖率和受众面;军队报刊从形式到内容“姓军为兵”,具有广大官兵喜闻乐见的渗透力、感染力、吸引力;军队报刊兼收军内外乃至国内外办刊风格于一体,其理论、信息、文化和科技…     

山东省济宁军分区——切实做好民兵报刊征订的组织领导工作

抓好国防报刊征订是对民兵、预备役人员实施政治教育的重要环节和基础工程。如果报刊征订工作不落实,对民兵、预备人员进行刊授教育,就会成为无源之水、无本之木。在报刊征订工作中,山东省济宁军分区实施强有力的领导,广泛做好宣传发动工作,保证了《中国国防报》和《中国民兵》订阅

提高认识创新刊授教育

刊授教育是落实民兵政治教育的有效手段,是民兵政治教育的载体。我们要充分认识刊授教育的地位、作用及其重要意义。我认为,刊授教育的作用突出表现在以下四个方面: 第一,政策导向作用。国家和省级的军事报刊能最及时、最清楚、最准确地传达国家对国防后备力量建设的有关理论、方针、政策和法规。广大民兵和民兵干部可以通过军事报刊这个“窗口”,有依据、有方向、有目的地开展民兵工作。第二,政治教育作用。军事报刊紧紧围绕部队和民兵工作,开办了一些很有特色的栏目,具有权威性和指导性特点,对广大民兵预备役人员的政治思想教育,起到了有力的指导作用。第三,学习借鉴作用。军事报刊以典型的作品带动人,推出了许多先进典型和经验。我们可以通过军事报刊把我们好的做法推出去,和友邻单位进行交流,展示我们的风采。第四,信息服务作用。军事报刊不仅信

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.
