River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.

These images were taken during the last full week of September, 2016.

 

Constant traffic nowadays with hard material being trucked in and dumped in storage areas along The Slang/Rehills section of the river bank.

Further work is now being undertaken to upgrade the protection of the riverbank edge with the laying down of extra stone material.

 

By now we shouldn't be surprised by anything, having seen so many changes and reversals to work previously carried out and completed during the past 4.5 years.

But we were baffled when they started to dump fresh loads of filtered soil in an area of the bank previously finished and properly landscaped.

On the top of the bank, directly opposite the La Vallee complex, the contractors proceeded to open up, and strip away, a renewed access ramp leading back towards the Riversdale complex.

 

'Here We Go Again'!

Obviously this would require further investigation.

A Força Aérea organiza o exercício europeu multinacional Hot Blade 2021 (HB2021), de 16 a 30 de junho, na Base Aérea N.º 11, em Beja, no âmbito do Helicopter Exercise Programme, da Agência Europeia de Defesa (EDA).

 

O HB2021, planeado pelo Comando Aéreo, conta com a participação de cerca de 1500 militares e 26 meios aéreos de Portugal, Áustria, Eslovénia e Holanda. Neste exercício participam também controladores aéreos avançados (JTAC’s) da Bélgica e observadores da Eslováquia, Itália e Sérvia.

 

O objetivo geral do exercício passa por aumentar a interoperabilidade de operações entre os Estados-Membros da EDA, expondo as forças participantes a um ambiente operacional complexo, no qual podem treinar técnicas, táticas e procedimentos, preparando-as para os teatros de conflito atuais e missões de apoio humanitário.

 

As missões estão planeadas para a zona centro e sul de Portugal Continental, com a preocupação de diminuir o impacto no meio ambiente e na população.

 

Sob recomendação da Direção-Geral da Saúde, serão estabelecidas áreas segregadas e implementadas medidas de prevenção, incluindo a realização de testes semanais à COVID-19 a todos os participantes, de forma a garantir um ambiente seguro para o desenvolvimento das operações aéreas.

Taken at Shoeburyness. This "ex pier" turns out to be a defence boom - constructed during WWII. Apparently it runs nearly 2 miles out to sea. A second boom was built on the Isle of Sheppey, opposite Shoeburyness to create a submarine trap for U-Boats. The boom was reinforced with concrete during the Cold War.

Israeli Soldiers from the Caracal Battalion during their basic training – 2012

 

The Caracal Battalion is an infantry combat battalion of the Israel Defense Forces, composed of both male and female soldiers, of both Jewish and Arab descent.[It is named after the Caracal, a small cat whose sexes appear the same. As of 2009, approximately 70% of the battalion was female.It is part of the 512th "Sagi" Brigade of Israel's Southern territorial command.

 

Prior to Caracal's formation in 2000, women had been prevented from serving in direct combat positions with the IDF. The unit has since been tasked with patrolling the Israeli-Egyptian border. It took part in Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2005.

 

The unit badge, adopted in 2009, incorporates the Sagi Brigade badge, with the addition of the Caracal cat.

New recruits in the Caracal Battalion, are issued the Israeli-made Tavor assault rifle. Battalion members partake in a four-month basic training period that includes physical training at the Givati Brigade training base.

 

Soldiers specialize in various weapons including machine guns, advanced weaponry, grenades, and mortars.

All female soldiers who join the battalion are required to sign up for a third year of military service, the same as their male counterparts. The men are drawn from Nahal garinim, or have volunteered.

When the war came to the Antarion IV, the factories became a significant target for heavy bombers of the enemy faction. As a result, each factory was upgraded to defend itself and ultimately the factories on Antarion IV became as heavily armed as the war machines they produced.
