[PDF] German Air Forces 1914-18 Ian Sumner, Graham Sumner digsell https://lnkd.in/e_fTU5qg The Imperial German Army Air Service of World War I grew from just 500 men in 1914 to 80,000 in 1918, inventing in the process a wholly new form of warfare. The exploits of the first fighter ‘aces’ have been widely celebrated, and have tended to overshadow the other, equally important branches of the fighting air forces — the reconnaissance and ground attack units, the airships and strategic bombers. This concise but fact- packed guide to both the Army and Naval Air Services — their command, organization, strength, training, support services and operations — offers a morebalanced picture, while giving … Read More » https://lnkd.in/e5gdVQpU

Did you know that the United Kingdom has an incredible military history? From aircraft carriers to infantry regiments to naval forces, Britain's military capabilities are truly impressive. 💪 The Royal Navy is the oldest of the three military services, and it traces its roots back to 15th century. Its key roles include patrolling the waters around the UK, detecting and interdicting threats on the international waters, and providing security for the vessels of other nations. 🛳 The Royal Air Force and British Army are the other two branches of the UK's military service. The air force has the world's oldest air force museum and some of the most modern jet trainers and combat aircraft. The army is responsible for training, equipping, and deploying troops to protect the nation. 🔩 Finally, the UK also boasts a powerful reserve force that can be called upon to supplement the regular forces when needed. 🕰 #ukmilitary #royalnavy #royalairforce #BritishArmy #funfactfriday 🇬🇧

#FightCrime9ja 9 Major Security Agencies in Nigeria 4.) Armed forces (comprising the Nigerian Army, Navy, and Air Force) The Armed force is the combined military, naval, and air forces of a nation. A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. It is typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniforms. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as the defense of the state and its interests against external armed threats. https://buff.ly/3QEiqr9

Dear Ukrainian Warfighters... Have you ever noticed how there are NOT TicToc videos of current or social media posts about future combat operations involving the US Army Special Forces, US Navy SEALS, USMC Strikers, 75th Ranger Regiment, Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta, 82nd Airborne Division, or any other US military operations? The reason is simple, it's a really stupid idea to share such things which the enemy is watching and taking notes. It's even considered a crime to share such nonsense and especially when it jumps the chain of command and tells 5ws about the unit and the defenders in the unit. What's more surprising is that the American General Staff is unaware that Ukrainian units regularly post these OPSEC violations on TicToc and WhatNot. So obviously the American General Staff can't suggest to Ukrainian General Staff about simple OPSEC violations and how they lead to a jackpot. Or they're timid...or maybe it's a genius plan in the manner of Sun Tzu. Maybe not.

🌟 Exciting and Stressful: Life as a Protocol Officer 🌟 As a protocol officer, I’ve found immense fulfillment in steering high-stakes projects from inception to the highly anticipated finale. The journey, though , isn’t without its share of nail-biting moments. Despite meticulous planning, the unpredictability can turn even the most simple event into a “disaster”. Yesterday, I found myself likening my role to that of a tightrope walker. Yet, amidst the chaos, there’s a profound sense of purpose and satisfaction in orchestrating events that leave lasting impressions. My mantra in the face of uncertainty? A deep breath, a reassuring smile, and the unwavering resolve to tackle any challenge head-on. Because when you’re armed with confidence and a can-do attitude, every hurdle becomes an opportunity for growth. #ProtocolOfficer #EventPlanning #StayingCalm #EmbracingChallenges
Fleet commanders, operational directors, and other senior leaders met for MARCOM’s annual Maritime Operational Commanders' Conference (MOCC) 2024 at its headquarters in Northwood UK, April 16-18. The event allowed leaders to ensure alignment and interoperability between MARCOM’s multinational force. Commander MARCOM, Royal Navy Vice Admiral Mike Utley, chaired the conference. “There has never been a more critical point in history to enhance the collective defense of the alliance. As the Heads of Allied Navies gathered over the last two days, we engaged in vital and fruitful discussions that deepened our relationships and strengthened NATO’s cohesion. Each Ally brings critical warfighting capabilities and unique expertise to NATO. We are better off as a collective because of the Allies’ commitment to turn these into operational advantage over any potential adversary,” said Utley. Read more - https://lnkd.in/eCxcdYef

I often share videos highlighting the incredible work the US Navy and other naval forces accomplish globally, showcasing their dedication and their positive impact worldwide. However, an aspect of their service is often overlooked: the inherent dangers of even routine training exercises. To bring this point home, I wanted to highlight an incident involving an SM-2 Missile launch failure aboard the German frigate FGS Sachsen. A similar mishap occurred a few years earlier on the USS The Sullivans (DDG-68). Fortunately, these incidents resulted in no injuries, a testament to the rigorous safety protocols and professionalism of naval personnel. Yet, they serve as a stark reminder of the risks our service members face, even during what might be considered ordinary training exercises near their homeport. So, the next time you meet a military service member, remember to extend your gratitude for their service. Whether on duty in distant waters or training near shore, their commitment to defend us carries inherent risks. Let's acknowledge and appreciate their bravery and the sacrifices they make to ensure our security and uphold peace worldwide.

In many military organizations, including naval forces, there exists an unwritten principle: commanders must prioritize the well-being of their crew above their own, particularly in perilous situations. This ethos is fundamental to military leadership, obligating commanders to exhaust all avenues to secure the safety and welfare of their subordinates before considering their own. This principle serves as a cornerstone in military culture and is indispensable for fostering trust and operational effectiveness within a unit. I argue that a similar principle, adapted appropriately, should be integrated into corporate culture as well.

Presumptive new INDOPACOM boss on China's massive navy: 'We are not overmatched' “We're a joint force that thinks in a multidomain mindset…And that is the kind of formations in maritime terrain, those are forces on land that can affect events that the maritime, that can shoot, move, communicate and impose costs against the [adversary’s] naval force to augment the [U.S.] Navy force at sea. And then further, the 21st century capabilities -- unmanned capabilities from the seabed to the heavens, that can also affect lethal effective fires.” https://lnkd.in/ezZUrrmk
