Alpinist Unit Winter of 2012
Every year during the winter season, the combat soldiers of the Alpine Unit are dispatched to Mount Hermon, after having been trained to operate under extreme weather conditions. January 22, 2012.
The Alpine Unit is comprised of reserve soldiers that served in elite units during their regular service and who take part in intensive training days in Judea and Samaria and the northern border, particularly Mt. Hermon.
The unit carries out regional defense tactics, shooting while skiing at high speeds, snowmobiling, and riding Sno-Cats.
All of the reservists who serve in the Alpine unit are volunteers. The unit is highly selective and challenging to join.
The album features pictures of the reservists running drills in Mt. Hermon. The pictures include soldiers practicing skiing, climbing, shooting, tracking, and rehearsing rescue drills in conditions of heavy snow.

Throughout the various areas, all project work had long since ceased. Quite clear that nothing would now happen until some time in the New Year 2014. Heavy and prolonged rains had caused river levels to quickly rise.

Now You See Them, Now You Don’t: Experts of Camouflage
The main principle of camouflage is the idea of blending in with your environment, which is usually achieved with camouflage clothing. Until recently, most units in the IDF were not aware of the power and effectiveness of utilizing nature itself as a disguise.
The Second Lebanon War pointed out certain weaknesses in the use of complicated disguises, since in those days they were mostly used by special units. Therefore, two years ago the IDF Anti-Terror School stepped up to the challenge and founded a department to teach all IDF combat units the art of camouflage.
At the beginning it was hard to draw the fighter’s attention to the subject,” says section commander, Sgt Albert Arklov, “but today we are swamped by the unit’s demands. There is a completely different awareness now.”
Soldiers participating in the three-week course learn everything about the optimal exploitation of nature; how to turn trees and stones in the battlefield into hiding spots, how to spot the perfect tree and how to pay attention to the most minute detail. Every minor mistake in creating a camouflaged position can lead to discovery. The size of the wood, its shape and even the direction in which the leafs project–all of these are crucial factors to creating successful camouflage.
After the trainees gathered half a forest to create their camouflaged position, they now have to apply their elaborate war-paint to their faces, hands, neck and chest. This, too, requires a lot of expertise.
Most of the instructors were in elite units themselves before they became teachers in the Anti-Terror School.
“At the end of the course the students are supposed to leave here with all the necessary knowledge to be the authority in camouflage of their units,” explains Sergeant Noam Polombo. “So we have to know how it’s like in the field, just like them. To train a fighter you need to know what it means to be a fighter.”
“If soldiers did not know to apply what they learned here, their combat level would fall dramatically. Camouflage is a critical skill in combat, which is a huge advantage on the ground. It is the recipe for victory.”

Israeli Karakal Battalion Graduation

Grain Tower Battery was completed in 1855 and is similar in design to the earlier Napoleonic East Coast Martello towers. The tower is located in the Thames Estuary off Grain, and is reached by foot, via a causeway at low tide.
Originally the tower was intended to be armed with 3 smooth bore guns in open emplacements on the roof. It was rearmed in both World Wars and was altered to acommodate new guns. In 1914 a floating boom was put across the mouth of the River Medway, from Sheerness, to the Grain Tower. This boom was an anti invasion defence to stop enemy ships entering the river. The chain that anchored the boom to the tower still remains today, wrapped around its base. In 1912 two 4.7 QF (Quick Firing) guns were moved from the nearby Wing Battery to the tower. Then in 1940 twin 6 pounder QF guns were installed, the 2 storey barrack accomodation block was built, and the 4 storey observation tower was added. The battery was disarmed in the 50's and left to the elements. Currently the tower is up for sale, waiting for any potential buyer to purchase it.

Construction started in 1877 as one of a series of defences to protect the strategically important docks at Chatham. After a few setbacks and delays, the fort was completed in 1892 and the finished construction was considerably smaller than the original plan. The only excavations to be dug were those of the ditch, from which the earth was used to cover the exposed structures inside the fort. The ditch was concrete lined and the final feature to be installed was the rare rolling drawbridge.
The fort was purely defensive, and was never armed (like most 'forts' of the time), but would have been armed and manned in the event of a national crisis. Ironically, by the time the series of fortifications were completed they were outdated and obsolete.

The European Defence Agency (EDA) last week successfully installed energy management equipment at camp Koulikoro, the location for the European Union’s Training Mission (EUTM) in Mali. The equipment is part of EDA’s Smart Camp Technical Demonstrator project which analyses the benefits of integrating new technologies into traditional power grids for deployed camps.
