Ten Tors is one of the biggest multi-agency, tri service civil contingency exercises in Britain. It is run by more than nine hundred military personnel - almost all of them Reservists - from all three branches of the Armed Forces, led by the Army’s 43 (Wessex) Brigade with its HQ in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
The 54th running of the event this year comes just months after military personnel, including Reservists from the South West , assisted local authorities, the Environment Agency and blue-light services during the floods, carrying out a range of tasks from sandbagging to engineering.
As a military exercise Ten Tors provides the Armed Forces with an invaluable opportunity to practice these life-saving civil contingency responsibilities, to enable the military - assisted by the emergency services, including The British Red Cross and the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Group - to be ready to help when they are called upon during a national emergency.
Brigadier Piers Hankinson MBE, Director of Ten Tors, is the Commander of 43 (Wessex) Brigade and was the Joint Military Commander for the South West during the flooding.
“The severe flooding across parts of the South West earlier this year clearly demonstrates the importance of such training and the ability to react to fast changing conditions and working in a multi-agency tri-service team. It also highlights the way that Reservists, who have wide ranging civilian experience and employment (from plumbers to accountants), train to operate with their regular counterparts under a One-Army ethos.”
Ten Tors:
As well as a vital high-level military exercise, The Ten Tors Challenge is also one of the biggest outdoors adventure events for young people in Britain today. In all, 2400 youngsters aged between 14 and 19 will take part in Ten Tors, with a further 300 youngsters with physical or educational needs taking part in the Jubilee Challenge.
The majority of the teams who enter Ten Tors are from schools and youth groups from Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. As usual, scores of scout groups, sports and ramblers teams and Armed Forces cadet units have accepted the challenge and are taking part.
Those teenagers taking on the Ten Tors Challenge will trek unaided over 35, 45 or 55 miles of some of the toughest terrain and highest peaks in Southern England relying on their navigational skills and carrying all their food, water, bedding, tents and other essentials as they go.
It is a feat they must complete as a team and without any help from adults and they’ll remain entirely self-sufficient during their arduous expeditions, including camping out overnight on the moor.
They do it for the challenge; to test themselves against one of the last remaining wildernesses in Britain. What they get in return for their months of hard training and commitment, as well as determination and bravery during the event itself, is an experience they’ll remember forever and the chance to learn a set of skills and values which will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
It’s a rite of passage which has played a positive and formative role in shaping the lives of more than a quarter of a million people.

A quick response by U.S. Army Africa to a request from U.S. Ambassador to the Ivory Coast, Phillip Carter III, evolved into an evacuation mission April 3.
Conflicting factions in and around the city of Abidjan had created dangerous conditions for civilian State Department employees, resulting in their relocation to safe havens. Within 36 hours of receiving the mission, a six-man USARAF team was on its way to Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
The team was led by Lt. Col. Mike Larsen, USARAF Contingency Command Post Chief, and consisted of Lt. Col. Nicolas Lovelace, Chief Warrant Officer Charlie Drafall, and U.S. Marines Staff Sgt. Pete Schumacher and Sgt. John Tillman, and Paul Levine, a Department of the Army civilian.
“Our team accomplished the mission very rapidly. We received our orders, packed, performed a quick SRP (Soldier Readiness Processing) and flew within a day,” Larsen said.
Traveling to Abidjan, in a C-130J, the team integrated with a joint operations command at Licorne, a French military base under the command of Brig. Gen. Jean-Pierre Palasset.
The political landscape in the Ivory Coast had been unstable since December, in the wake of a national presidential election, losing incumbent Laurent Gbagbo refused to recognize the winner, Alassane Ouattara.
According to Larsen, the streets of Abidjan were in turmoil when the USARAF team arrived. Roadblocks and factional fighting added to the danger and confusion of the situation. The USARAF team was unable to reach the U.S. Embassy through normal ground routes. At Licorne, they set up operations and communications links to home base in Vicenza, Italy.
“Things continued to fester and become more unstable in the Ivory Coast,” Larsen said. “Tensions from a previous civil war and cultural differences added to the general instability of the life in the Ivory Coast since the election.
“When we arrived in Abidjan a lot was occurring and the two factions were on the verge a major engagement. Lines of communication were cut-off. It was difficult to tell who the good guys were at many of the roadblocks that were set up. It was impossible to make it to the embassy from the ground, and several U.S. diplomats were in need of a safe haven,” Larsen said.
The French forces quickly established assembly areas where civilians were picked up and taken to the airport near the French base.
Larsen said Abidjan was rife with a variety of military activity and para-military personnel. In addition to the two combative Ivorian factions and various militia units, there was a large U.N. presence and French forces at Licorne Base. He explained the assistance provided by French troops and their leadership enabled the USARAF team to set up and begin their mission of finding and relocating more than 70 civilians from Abidjan.
“We would have been completely inefficient without the French military. It was refreshing and enlightening to work with the French Army. They were completely transparent and their operation was impressively efficient,” Larsen said.
“At assembly areas the French were balanced and professional. It was balance between lethal action, political pressure and force protection. At roadblocks French forces were careful to not to inject themselves into the confusion. Not one of the displaced embassy civilians were injured and it was amazing that for the amount of violence that surrounded them, only one French soldier was wounded by small-arms fire,” he said.
“It was clear French forces followed the UN’s mandate to protect the civilian population from the warring factions and additionally recognizing the legitimacy of president Ouattara,” Larsen said.
In a letter to Larsen, Drafall was credited by Ambassador Carter for his work during the mission.
“I want you to know how critical Chief Warrant Officer 2 Charles Drafall was to our operations in Abidjan, and how much I appreciated his work in support of the Embassy during an incredibly difficult and dangerous time in Cote d'Ivoire,” Carter said.
“During this time, I received calls from Ambassador Yates, Secretary Clinton, and President Obama, each of whom thanked the team here for loyal and steadfast duty during the crisis. This team includes the chief. His work with U.S. Africa Command and subordinate units and the country team here was critical to the success of the embassy,” Carter said.
For Lovelace, who is with USARAF’s International Military Affairs Division, Security Cooperation Directorate, the success of the mission was a result of prior training and coordination with the French.
“In Paris, Lt. Col. Larsen and I engaged the French joint staff during initial joint operations planning in December,” he said. Later, Lovelace participated in Lion Torch, a deployment to the Ivory Coast where he established critical relationships with key members of the French Joint Task Force at Licorne.
Lovelace echoed Larsen’s assessment of the team’s communications crew.
“Our two JSCE Marine NCOs are expert communicators. They knew the environment and exactly what it took to rapidly establish communications between our team at the French base, our headquarters in Vicenza and the embassy,” Lovelace said.
For JSCE communications NCO Schumacher, the Ivory Coast mission was all about teamwork.
“The collaboration between USARAF and JCSE members of the team was top-notch. Our mission went nearly flawlessly, our travel in and out of the country went smoothly,” Schumacher said.
“While on the ground in Abidjan, our equipment came up quickly and supported the team. Our French hosts were extremely accommodating and efficient in carrying out all operations with less technology and older equipment,” he said.
Larsen, who will soon take the helm of 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rdAirborne Brigade Combat Team, summed up the mission.
“This was a team effort and this experience with USARAF had made me a better officer. It’s given me a better appreciation and understanding of how embassies work and component commands work. It’s been a professionally rewarding experience,” Larsen said.

Exercise BAVARIAN CHARGER is the first of three large contingency operation exercises being undertaken by 20th Armoured Brigade between May ñ October 2013. Contingency Operations training is known as Hybrid Foundation Training or HFT.
The aim of this exercise is to train the 5 Rifles, The Queens Dragoon Guards (QDG) Battle Groups and 1 Logistic Support Regiment in combined arms manoeuvre.
The exercise is split into 3 main phases. The first phase consists of a two week live firing exercise in Grafenwoer, Southern Germany, that enables the units and soldiers to refine their skills with their equipment and weapons. Training is constructed to develop skills from the individual level through to the Battlegroup level and culminates in a final attack that sees the use of helicopters, tanks, artillery and infantry combined.
The second phase will see all the exercising units transition from Grafenwoer to Hohnfels, some 100 km further south and simulates the kind of movements that are undertaken when moving an Armed force into hostile territory.
The third, and final phase is designed to test the planning and execution of combined arms manoeuvre operations in a hostile environment. The units will execute orders based on the delivery of Brigade Orders to defeat the enemy within the scenario.
2100 personnel with upto 768 vehicles ranging from Landrover, to Tanks to Apache helicopters are being exercised from 20th Armoured Brigade whose Headquarters are based in Sennelager, Germany. Approximately 500 personnel are required to support those training to ensure that supplies are maintained, vehicles are fixed and soldiers fed.

"The wicked spies upon the righteous and seeks to kill him." - Psalms 37:32
In a bag store on ancient Jinli Street in Chengdu China there is a newspaper article bearing the image of Che Guevara and chinese characters which states "Never Negotiate".. S.P.E.C.T.O.R./G.H.O.S.T.S. (STS) took this as an omen that the time is near:
"Time to go to War" by STS
Che Guevara was right and Einstein was wrong!!
The City of CHEngdu China was named after CHE Guevara though the city's name has never changed since it was first founded.
Marco Polo first arrived here in the 13th Century and STS followed the path leading the way of european ancestry unity with the asiatics for a common interest.
It was here that STS chose to come and establish the revolutionary base for the creation of "The Black Berets Manifesto" and bond with the Chinese Contingency Army.
Although STS was offered Beijing, Hong Kong, ShangHai, Nanjing, a better association for starting a new counter-revolution with a name that had the same word within it as the world's great revolutionary hero, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, for the history books when it would be decided to re-write it.
Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province in Southwest China houses 14,047,625 combatants. One of the most important economic, transportation, and communication centers in Western China and for Best Chinese Cities for Investment, Chengdu was chosen as one of the top ten cities to invest in out of a total of 280 urban centers in China. Recently named China's 4th-most livable city.
Known as the headquarters of the Chengdu Military Region administrative command located in southwest China, also includes some of the Kunming Military Region..
This military region includes two army groups, the 13th and 14th and the Tibetan 52nd and 53d Mountain Brigades, as well as the 149th Motorized Infantry Division, 2 Mobile Armed Police Divisions, the 38th 'parallel' and 41st, and the 2nd Army 'Aviation' Regiment.
What's really interesting is the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group which
produces the Jian-10 (Chengdu J-10) fighter considered to be one of the
most advanced in China's inventory, as well as the FC-1/JF-17 (Super-7
Fighter).
The J-10 "Annihilator-Ten" known in the West as the "Vigorous Dragon"
can track 10 targets at once thanks to israeli consultants and their
canceled Lavi technology which they sold to China. The first J-10
rolled out on 11/97 first delivered to the 13th Test Regiment. The last
part of the test flight program was the live firing of air-to-air
missiles carried out by test pilot Xu Yongling.
The Tomb of Wang Jian named Yongling Mausoleum is located in Chengdu as
well. The tomb of Wang Jian is much smaller compared with the Ming Tomb
in Beijing, however, it's much older built during the Five Dynasties
and Ten States Period.

www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GSmcid=4708...;
Wang Jian was the first emperor of the former Shu Kingdom during the
Five Dynasties and Ten States Period. It was during this period that
the Tang dynasty collapsed.
It was said Yongling was a rascal when he was young, slaughtering cows,
robbing donkeys, and smuggling salt. Joining the army he was promoted
to troop officer because of his bravery and cleverness. Towards the end
of the Tang Dynasty he took charge of the emperor’s palace guards.
The PAC JF-17 Thunder (CAC FC-1 Xiaolong) "Fierce Dragon" had started
as a combined program between China and Grumman but Grumman left the
project when sanctions were placed on China following the political
fallout from the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. As recent as May 2011
China offered 50 JF-17s to Pakistan on an urgent basis at no cost.
The first JF-17 squadron, No. 26 Black Spiders first saw service in the
anti-terrorist operation in South Waziristan "Operation Rah-e-Nijat".
There is also The Chengdu J-20 (Jian-20) "Annihilator-Twenty" stealth
fighter prototype also developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group for
the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force expected to be
operational in 2017–2019. It's cost to build will be 50-80% less than
US.
I believe that China may have adopted some stealth technology from the
F-117 Nighthawk shot down by the Serbs in 1999.
The J-20 may become the first operational combat aircraft that carries
sufficient fuel to super-cruise throughout its missions, doubling it's
sortie rate to operate as a heavy interceptor, destroying opposing
AWACS and tanker aircraft, this combination of forward sector stealth
and long range will allow the J-20 to make attacks on surface targets
while the United States lacks sufficient bases for F-22s in the area to
counter and allies have no comparable aircraft. The Pentagon's 2011
report on the Chinese military agrees that the J-20 is "a platform
capable of long range, penetrating strikes into complex air defenses".
The aircraft is in development, estimates are from available only from
images.
Where is the Tomb of Ghenghis Khan and what lies within China's first emperor's tomb..Qin Shi Huang?
Marco Polo 1254-1324 died at age 70 - traveled across asia and made it as far as Chengdu China.
In Beijing he met Kublai Khan and like Alexander the Great before him he sailed home instead of overland returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned, and dictated his stories to a cellmate (Rustichello da Pisa) which is why the Tower of Pisa leans southeast. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married, and had 3 children. He died in 1324, and was buried in San Lorenzo to fulfill the prophecies of 1964.
The chinese poet Tao Qian also known as Tao Yuanmin came from a notable family which fell into poverty. When he was young he was torn between ambition and a desire to retreat into solitude. His great-grandfather was the famous Eastern Jin general and governor, Tao Kan. He served in a series of minor posts but the death of his sister and disgust at the corruption and infighting of the Jin Court prompted his resignation, convincing him that life was too short to compromise on his principle.
He lived in retirement for his last 22 years.
STS came to Chengdu as the resurrection of the second coming of Che Guevara but was received as the Return of Marco Polo.
He read poems by Li Bai, theories by Liu Shaoqi, learned about Liu Bei's military conquests, and Lin Biao's failed military coup to oust Mao..
Chinese culture must be implemented with Western culture if both are to survive..
The Chinese are a much stronger culture than the americans.. with over 5,000 years of history far out reaching the Romans and the Greeks.. Only they will over thrown this regime.. but by then they'll be nothing worth saving.
Che Guevara after his meeting with Chairman Mao had emerged as a prominent symbol of self-sacrifice, armed struggle, internationalism and uncompromising opposition to U.S. domination. His death stands as a glaring example of the role the U.S. and its agents play in the brutal repression of humanity’s highest aspirations.
Che is a highly romantic martyr of the people’s cause. But he was also a revolutionary leader and thinker in a particular complex time; he was associated closely with a specific series of approaches and strategies.
Che (and the Cuban movement he was part of) had a particular line on the role of the people in their own emancipation. It was a view that exalted the actions of small military groupings of “heroic guerrillas” (called focos) in galvanizing revolution. Unlike the Maoists at that same time, Che and Fidel Castro were not advocates of a “land to the tiller” agrarian revolution, but sought to nationalize the existing plantation structure of Cuba and similar countries.
The fact that so many people revere him is a testimony to the deep desires for liberation throughout the world. And at the same time, revolution is not made by symbolism alone. The controversies surrounding Che’s strategies have contemporary significance.
New CIA-run armies were organized. The Green Berets were founded. U.S. training schools were cranking out torturers, coup-makers and counterrevolutionaries. Many places throughout the world were seeded with U.S.-trained agents and killers.
Over the last 30 years, Che Guevara has been seen by many as a symbol of resistance to all that–to U.S. domination and military power. And today, in 2011, the fight against all that remains the burning issue–just as it was 41 years ago.
How do we fight the oppressors today in a way that can actually defeat them, overthrow them and create a new liberated society?
That is the issue that confronts this new generation. The revolutionary process needs dreams of a better world and heroes that people can look up to. But it also needs a serious evaluation of historical experience. The people need revolutionary theory and strategy that can win.
Che Guevara advocated a particular path for the struggle against U.S. domination. And today, Guevarism–and the historical experience of those who followed it–needs to be critically evaluated. As a veteran communist once said, “We have to want revolution bad enough to be scientific about it.”
Che Guevara was right in the middle of these developments. He made several criticisms of the Soviet Union–for not firmly backing national liberation struggles and for their trade policies with countries like Cuba.
In the early 1960s, Mao Tsetung made a startling and penetrating analysis of developments within the Soviet Union. A fundamental change of power had happened, Mao said, in 1956 when Nikita Khrushchev seized power in the Soviet Union. Capitalist-roaders within the Communist Party there had carried out a restoration of capitalism. The Soviet Union, which had been a socialist country for decades, was now a social-imperialist power (socialist in name, imperialist in essence).
Mao warned about the danger of driving the tiger out the front door while letting the wolf in the back. Relying on this new imperialist power, he said, was extremely dangerous for the masses of people. The new rulers of the Soviet Union represented a new bourgeoisie–fundamentally opposed to liberation.
Today such issues may seem “a thing of the past” to a generation that lives in a world where the Soviet bloc has collapsed and the U.S. is top dog of the imperialist heap. But it is impossible to evaluate the historical experience of Che and the “Cuban Road” without understanding the nature of Soviet social-imperialism and the negative impact that alliances with the Soviet Union had on the national liberation struggles of Latin America and around the world.
The path to power advocated by Maoists was radically different from the one formulated by Che Guevara. The Maoists argued that power won through shortcuts would not be able to resist the pressures of imperialism or lead to an all-the-way revolutionary society. For that, the masses needed to be mobilized and trained in the course of a protracted class struggle, led by the proletariat.
In the Third World, Maoists argued the armed struggle needed to take the form of a protracted people’s war–that was waged by relying on the masses of people, surrounding the cities from the countryside and building up a new power within revolutionary base areas. Though this approach was based on the rich experience of the Chinese revolution, Mao warned revolutionaries around the world not to copy that experience but to creatively apply this strategic orientation to their own conditions.
In the beginning, Mao had hopes of possibly winning the Cuban leadership to a better path, and he personally met with Che during his 1960 trip to China. But Che Guevara remained convinced of his foco strategy and convinced that the Soviet Union should be embraced as a potential ally of the people’s movements.
Many other issues were raised by this famous ideological struggle of the 1960s and 1970s: Whether to forge new, revolutionary, communist parties to lead the revolutionary struggle, the role of armed struggle in revolution and how to organize the people for revolutionary war, how to evaluate different class forces in the world–including especially the peasantry in the world’s semi-colonial, semi-feudal countries–and how to continue the revolution after the seizure of power.
In this process, a new clarity emerged, based on advances in communist ideology–Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
Today, 41 years after the murder of Che, there have been many changes in the world. Major transformations have happened–including increased “shantytownization” in the Third World–and new leaps have taken place in the linkages of the international production and world market. With these changes have come new questions of how people can liberate themselves from imperialism. But for several billion dispossessed, poor and uprooted people across the planet, imperialist development and technology is nothing but a nightmare. For them the future is either going to be desperation or revolution. And for those in the oppressed nations, the Maoist path of protracted people’s war remains an urgent and practical solution to the problems of today.
There are many today, among the youth in the U.S. and Latin America, who have been attracted to Che Guevara–because they see in him a symbol of self-sacrifice, armed struggle and internationalism in the fight against U.S. imperialism. For all those motivated by deep love for the people, it is extremely important to dig deep into the historical experiences, to seriously struggle to grasp the differences between different lines and roads. Today, this is a life-and-death issue. It has everything to do with whether we can turn our revolutionary dreams into reality.
Chinese have a powerful past culture and unlike other vanished empires China is the only culture that is resurrecting itself once again.. only the germans were able to do this during the 1930's and 40's.. the chinese empire will rise to haunt the western world.. just like the former japanese empire once did.
The United States Corporate Government's religious practice of Corporate Flight created this imbalance beginning in Post-World War II to appease it's allies as well as maximizing corporate profit and tax exemptions.
