南京战区演兵东海

8月下旬,南京军区某训练基地在东南沿海组织了一场陆海空三军联合实战化实兵自主对抗训练,首次使用全激光对抗、网络化裁决模式。 训练基地把激光交战器材配备至红蓝军船艇、战车、单兵和坚固工事。训练中,“红蓝军”各交战主体实行全程激光对抗。基地对训练地域、海域实施实时信息覆盖、全程监控,用网络数字化技术手段检验了部队的训练水平和作战能力。这种基于网络信息系统的组训方式,使实兵对抗演练更加贴近了实战。     

基于LS-SVM算法的实兵对抗演习作战效能评估

在实战化实兵对抗演习训练中,经验驱动的作战效能评估方法存在主观性强、评估效率低的问题,对于部队提升实战化训练水平、强化实战能力带来不利影响。针对上述问题,提出数据驱动的实兵对抗演习作战效能评估方法,引入最小二乘支持向量机算法(LS-SVM)构建评估模型,通过演习数据对模型进行训练,建立效能指标和作战效能的非线性映射复杂关系。实验表明,基于LS-SVM算法的实兵对抗演习效能评估方法具有更高的效率和精度。

大力开展民兵重点分队对抗训练

对抗训练是激发各级练兵热情和创造精神。防止训练形式主义，使训练贴近实战的最有效的训练形式。近年来，军分区、人武部逐步推开了民兵重点分队对抗训练。取得了良好成效。但在训练实践中，还存在指导思想不够端正、实战化不够强的问题。为确保民兵重点分队对抗训练的深入开展．不断提升遂行作战任务的能力．笔者认为应从以下几个方面作一些深入探讨。     

依托红蓝对抗训练平台提升政治工作实战化水平

红蓝对抗训练,是军事训练的重要形式,是训练方式转变、组训模式转型的基本方向.依托红蓝对抗训练平台,探索实践政治工作训练演练的方法路子,对有效提升政治工作实战化水平、拓展深化政治工作准备,具有十分重要的现实意义. 一、着眼特点、综合施策,切实强化参训官兵实战意识.红蓝对抗训练作为实战化训练的最高形式,既有军事训练的共性特征,又有鲜明的自身特点,政治工作要适应新情况、解决新问题,才能取得新成效、实现新突破.一是突出实战性,铸牢履行使命的坚定信念.通过定期研究作战对手军情动态,详细介绍外军最新战法体系,现地观摩蓝军先进装备,及时收看对抗实录、检讨失利原因、分析失败后果,使官兵强化临战意识,自觉投身实战化训练.     

山东某预备役团影像射击训练馆——仿真战场，练的就是百发百中

在未来高技术局部战争中,不论采取何种作战模式,轻武器仍是装备数量最多、使用频率最高的作战武器。构建科学合理的训练模式,提高实战背景下轻武器的射击水平,就显得尤为重要。首先,在射击训练中,体育比赛型的训练大量存在,体育比赛型模式让官兵不会实战。这种求精不求快,求稳不求变的训练离实战要求差距较大。体育训练模式不能形成有效的现实战斗力,训练的成绩会使官兵高估自己的应战能力,在实战时可能就会丢了性命!     

新形势下装备保障实战化训练问题研究

装备系统贯彻重大战略思想,基本途径是开展装备保障实战化训练。新形势下,装备保障实战化训练前提是按纲施训,根基是基础训练,重点是战术训练,关键环节是开展新装备训练。针对部队装备保障实战化训练存在的落实不够、水平不高、队伍素质不强、秩序不规范、保障不配套等问题,要把握使命任务导引、环境条件塑造、对抗检验驱动、全程反馈增益的运行机理,在充实信息化内容、拓展实战保障内容、渗透联保联训内容等方面构设实战管用的训练内容,创新对抗训练、模拟训练、网络化训练等真打实抗方法,不断增强实战化训练的针对性和实效性。     

基于红蓝对抗的实战化教学组训方法研究 —— 以航空兵初级指挥专业为例

红蓝对抗训练是实战化训练的最高形式,近年来在部队演习演练中被广泛采用,效果显著。军队院校教学向部队靠拢,向实战聚焦,可在航空兵初级指挥专业的人才培养中引入红蓝属性,开展实战化教学的探索和实践。本文提出“模拟环境+师生对抗+硬度可调”的实战化教学组训方法：一是红蓝对抗模拟训练环境,可支撑航空兵初级指挥专业学员开展“规划-部署-实施-评估”的航空兵作战全流程红蓝对抗实战化教学;二是“蓝”教员和“红”学员师生对抗教学组织实施程序;三是适应学员能力渐进式增长的关于训练想定、蓝军能力、导调方式和评定标准的“硬度可调”机制。此外,为确保红蓝对抗实战化教学的顺利实施,给出了锻造“红蓝兼备”院校“蓝”教员队伍的几点建议。     

新体制下军队院校教育实战化

加强军队院校教育实战化改革，提高基层指挥员实战化素养，是推动部队实战化训练末端落实的有效途径。在军队院校改革重组的背景下，应改善实战化教学条件，强化军队院校师资力量与部队接轨，创新实战化教学内容构建，提高军队院校教育实战化水平，实现人才培养与未来作战需求的最佳融合。

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).     

The UK,interrogation and Iraq, 2003–2008

The UK’s interrogation operations during the conflict in Iraq (2003–2008) are often portrayed by the media as involving significant amounts of mistreatment. This article demonstrates that these practices are not necessarily representative of the UK’s interrogation operations across this conflict. In doing so it contributes to the limited literature on the practice of interrogation and on the UK’s combat operations in Iraq. The UK’s interrogation capability, and therefore its intelligence-gathering capability, is shown to have rested primarily with the military’s Joint Forward Interrogation Team (JFIT). The JFIT suffered from limitations to the number, training and experience of its interrogators and interpreters. It is argued that maintaining a permanent, higher level of preparedness for interrogation by the British armed forces is desirable.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.     

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.     

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.

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.     

Al Qaida on the US invasion of Afghanistan in their own words

This article consists of selected translations from captured interviews and dairies of Al Qaida members. The time period covered is from mid-2001 to early 2002 and concerns their operations in Afghanistan. The material clearly conveys a range of emotion, from confident to despondent, as well as efforts to contest the US actions. The first several pages give the reader context and some possible “lessons learned,” but the story(ies) are best told by the Al Qaida members themselves. All names are pseudonyms.
