History of motorcycles in military uses. by أيمن أحمد قطينة:(الدروس المفيدة Helpful lessons) The history of motorcycles dates back to the late 19th century when they began to be used for various purposes, including military applications. During the world wars, motorcycles were widely utilized to swiftly move soldiers and mercenaries with ease and efficiency across different terrains.   One of the most famous types is the "Harley-Davidson," which saw extensive use during World War II by the U.S. military. Harley-Davidson motorcycles were used for border patrols, security details, as well as for rapid message delivery and communications.   Other notable motorcycles such as "BMW," "Norton," and "Indian" were also utilized by various military forces during wartime. These motorcycles provided a swift and cost-effective means of transporting soldiers and equipment across rugged terrains and hard-to-reach areas.   Additionally, motorcycles were used as a means to quickly and efficiently transport messages and military intelligence, and to provide rapid logistical support to military units in the field and urban areas.   Over time, motorcycles have evolved to become more sophisticated and effective in military operations, but they remain an important part of military history and continue to be used for various purposes in many countries.   Diverse applications and uses of motorcycles have made them an integral part of military operations, from reconnaissance and patrol duties to rapid deployment and transportation of personnel and supplies. Their agility, speed, and maneuverability make them invaluable assets for modern military forces around the world.

Title: Successful Operation by INS Kolkata: Pirates Surrender and Crew Members Evacuated Safely Mv Ruen Date: March 16, 2024 In the past 40 hours, INS Kolkata conducted a highly successful operation that resulted in the surrender of 35 pirates and the safe evacuation of 17 crew members. The operation took place on March 16, 2024, and was carried out without any injuries to personnel. INS Kolkata, with the assistance of other naval assets, intercepted the pirate ship Ruen at a distance of approximately 1400 nautical miles (2600 kilometers) from the Indian Coast. Through calibrated actions, the Indian Navy forced the pirate ship to stop. The operation was supported by INSSubhadra, a High Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft (HALE RPA), P8I maritime patrol aircraft, and MARCOS PRAHARs air-dropped by a C-17 aircraft. Following the interception, INS Kolkata thoroughly sanitized the vessel to identify and confiscate any illegal arms, ammunition, and contraband that may have been on board.

Admiral R Hari Kumar stated that the Indian Navy will not allow security and safety in the Indian Ocean Region to be disrupted and will teach a 'very hard' lesson if piracy is attempted. He also mentioned that the Indian Navy operates along with Navies of friendly nations to tackle piracy in the region and are engaged in anti-drone operations in the Nor Arabian Sea and Red Sea. This comes after the Maritime Anti-Piracy Act, 2022, which strengthened the Navy's capabilities to deal with piracy. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/dJZ_RHqh

United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations USMC Scout Sniper Association (official) Recon & Sniper Foundation We seem to find quite a few former Recondos and HOGs in this line of work. Very interesting but of GWOT history. OP: @socom_archive A CIA SAD officer taking point during a joint patrol between an Afghan Counter Terrorism Pursuit Team (CTPT) and 10th Mountain Division soldiers in Nuristan, Afghanistan. Between 2002 and 2004, the Central Intelligence Agency began to develop a clandestine program designed to harass and chase al-Qaeda fighters around the Afghan-Pakistan border. These teams came to be known as CTPTs, and at its height, the program recruited and regularly paid over 3,000 Afghan militiamen to carry out these operations so that the CIA could maintain deniability. These militias were favored over most government forces due to their reliability (I say this very loosely) and their vehement hatred for al-Qaeda. While the initial CTPT program was somewhat shortlived, it evolved into the Omega Program some years later. Omega was split into several teams, stationed at several outstations across Afghanistan. Teams of US SOF operators would partner with CIA officers (who’d lead these teams) to provide specialist support, like medical care, close air support, and EOD support to their Afghan counterparts. They’d then lead their Afghan teams onto target, where they’d clash with al-Qaeda terrorists to collect intel for follow-on operations. Omega would later face scrutiny after reports surfaced that its Afghan soldiers were carelessly shooting and recklessly torturing civilians, suspected to be insurgents, during missions. Ultimately, the program came to be dissolved when the United States and NATO left Afghanistan in August 2021. Despite this controversy, the Omega Program became a template for the CIA and Department of Defense on using surrogate partner forces to conduct clandestine strikes in denied areas all over the world.

Sinking of dry bulk carrier Tutor highlights escalating Red Sea maritime threats The sinking of the #drybulk carrier Tutor marks the fourth seafarer death in the #RedSea since March and the second total loss of a vessel in this region since October 2023 amid #Houthi attacks. The Tutor, carrying #Russian #coal, was attacked using an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). Although carrying armed guards, they could not combat this kind of threat. This incident is expected to spike #insurance rates for Red Sea transits and, consequently, increase costs for charterers. The threat level remains high, highlighting the need for increased naval patrols and a negotiated settlement to ensure the safety of #shipping. #kpler
