Czech commandos, members of of Army's 601st Special Forces Unit, train anti-guerrillas skills 29 January 2004 in Prostejov few days before leaving to Afghanistan. The Czech government 14 January agreed to send some 130 soldiers to Afghanistan to take part in "Operation Enduring Freedom", the international effort to combat terrorism. They will include more than 100 men from elite units, 20 demining experts and few meteorologists and will be integrated into the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

Recruits from the Special Forces Direct Recruiting Scheme (SFDRS) were fired on from above and below during a live fire bunker assault in Singleton on 2nd December 2004. Fighter jets (F/A18s), armoured personnel carriers (APCs), machine guns and explosives unleashed simulated fire on the recruits as they attempted the assault as part of their selection to join Australia’s elite Special Forces..
.
With only six months in Defence, the SFDRS recruits successfully achieved their mission using live ammunition with small arms (M4 and F89) and grenades..
.
This was the last major test for the recruits before the successful members are posted into Special Operations Command..
On the 18th March a New Special Operations unit was formed as part of the Polish Army - AGAT – This unit inherits the name and traditions of the famous WW2 AGAT Diversion Unit, which fought in World War II in occupied Warsaw - Subject to Kedywowi (Directorate of Diversion) Headquarters of the Army and it became famous for, among others things the attack on the head of the SS and police district of Warsaw
Modern AGAT is a special unit designed to perform tasks including the provision of assault combat support (kinetic) special operations conducted by Special Forces, as well as performing direct action at the back and the grouping of the enemy on the stated objectives. Moreover, it can conduct operations against the terrorist, anti-guerrilla and your critical infrastructure protection.
The units structure and purpose will be the equivalent of 75th Ranger Regiment (75th Rangers Regiment), and British Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). And is built around Assault Teams and Support Teams with JTACS and Forward Artillery Observers and other specialists
The Role of the Unit will be the equivalent of 75th Ranger Regiment (75th Rangers Regiment), and British Special Forces Support Group (SFSG).
Currently the unit is half way through the process of the selection and training of candidates for the new unit – With the selection and training course being run by experienced instructors from the 75th Rangers and US Special Forces .The first team to reach the initial assault capability will be ready for operations by the end of 2012.

Wreck of ML133 at Camasnagaul.
NN 09440 75247
This Motor Launch blew up on the morning of 11th May 1943 killing CPO Frank Hopkins who is buried in Glen Nevis
www.mbriscoe.me.uk/page11.html
The ML133 Disaster
Built by Lady Bee Ltd. Of Shoreham, Sussex, ML 133 was 75ft in length (cf. above) and was launched on November 18th 1940, commissioned on December 4 1940 and completed eight days later. The following account was written by Mr Christopher Wardle who was on board at the time:
The Death of the 133. (A very vivid Memory}
As it happened.....No bullshit...The real and true facts.
I was a crew member for the entire life of the boat, I joined it in England, sailed it to Scotland and we were the original ML Training Flotilla, the Flotilla consisted of several B class ML’s
The crew of all the B class ML’s at that time was 11 personnel. The 133 was the flotilla leader and carried a fully fledged CPO as coxswain, a Leading Telegrapher, a two-and-a-half ring (Lt Cdr) skipper, who incidentally at the time of the incident was in Inverness at a conference on fire-fighting.... would you believe. So the crew of all the flotilla of ML’s at the time consisted of The Captain, the 1st Lt...usually a very very young kid with one ring (Sub. Lt). Almost every Officer was ‘Wavy Navy’ (RNVR), the only regular navy on board was myself and the coxswain all the rest were Hos (Hostility Only).
We also had two ‘Mickey Mouses’ (Motor Mechanics), usually ex-garage mechanics and extremely competent guys, a telegraphist, who, since there was little on-air radio work served as the Officers flunky and above deck signalman, a Coxswain and 5 seamen, either ordinary or able seaman a total of 11.
It was a clear cold morning in May. The 133 was doing what was called guard duties. What we were guarding, I have no idea. But we asked no questions. We just did what we was told to do.
So the morning of the 11th May 1943 we were swinging around a buoy (near Camusnagaul) with a watchman on the upper deck protecting all the good folk at Fort William. Usually the coxswain poked his head into the mess deck and ‘Called the hands’, but for some reason he didn’t so I, as next in seniority did the honours.
One of the Motor Mechanics....Geordie... I think he was the oldest guy on board, maybe in his 40s ...very old to a young 23! Anyway he went into the engine room to start up a small motor we used for washing down the upper deck; always the first duty of the day. In the meantime the rest of the crew were either dressing, in the toilet, or trying to use the bathroom....all bleary eyed, ....Still no sign of the coxswain....very unusual. He was an extremely efficient CPO... no nonsense...ran the ship extremely well.
I was just in the middle of dressing when there was this explosion. I ran up the hatch to the upper deck. The 2 sides of boat had blown outboard from the wardroom to the forecastle and Geordie was laying on the starboard side groaning with one of his eyes hanging loose. Fire had engulfed the entire engine room. When Geordie had started the small motor there had been petrol fumes in the bilges and a spark must have caused the explosion and the fire.
He was in no condition to do anything; he was shocked and injured. The first thing was to call the coxswain CPO Frank (Polly) Hopkins... we battered on his door ...but no response. His door opened inward, refused to budge, think the explosion had lifted the bilge boards and jammed his door... But why wasn’t he answering? I just don’t know, we had nothing with which to smash his door, but we tried. In the end we all took to the upper deck....there was no panic...just a bunch of guys watching the fire getting bigger and bigger’
Being built of timber the boat stayed afloat tied up to the mooring buoy, even though both her sides had been blown almost flat against the water. Christopher continues….
‘The skipper was away. The young Jimmy (1st Lieutenant) was already in the water so I was the senior guy left and I told everyone to get into the water. We had no means at all to fight the fire, we couldn’t sink her , the sea cocks and all the extinguishers were in the engine room and there was no way we could help Geordie so we abandoned ship.
I swam towards the pier a mile away; it was bloody cold too! Some of the flotilla from around the corner obviously saw the smoke and dropped anchor and came a running. I was picked up by the 154. The sparker aboard was a friend, who took great delight hurling a lifebuoy at me before helping me aboard.
The big explosion came as we were swimming towards the pier; all the ammunition and the 100 octane petrol, 4000 gallons of it, I believe. The depth charges too probably went up. That was quite a bang. I heard later quite a few windows were lost in the town and whether this was true or not, I heard it said they found parts of the 3 pounder gun near the Ben!
From that point didn’t know what was transpiring. We were all taken to the base and fitted out (with dry clothing etc.) ‘cos we were all fairly naked having only just got out of our bunks, and in a couple of days we were all sent on leave. I was sent for by Commander Welman, the CO of the base who grilled me on what happened. He seemed more concerned with pages from the confidential books that had been washed ashore as they were supposed to be kept in a locked safe. He wanted to know how they were loose and floating around. I told him the 1st Lt had them out to make the new admiralty adjustments to them and hadn’t had time to replace them, I guess.
I served the rest of my time as an instructor at the base. I heard the divers had found the coxswain at the bottom of the Hatch, he had obviously made it out of his cabin but only as far as the hatch just outside his door. I was sent on leave and didn’t even get chance to go to the coxswains funeral.

One of the boats which raced to the scene was the local ferry boat driven by local man Archie McLean. Having picked up a number of men from the water, Archie quickly realised that CPO Hopkins was still aboard. Manoeuvring his boat through the smoke and flames, Archie managed to get it alongside the stricken vessel. Despite being aware that it was full of high octane petrol, live ammunition and probably some depth charges too, he attempted to recue the missing man. As he was about to climb aboard, the second explosion occurred and the attempt had to be abandoned. Archie was awarded honorary membership of the Coastal Forces Veterans Association and was proud to attend the annual reunions of the Coastal veterans who visited the town thereafter.
Geordie, fortunately survived the accident and C.P.O. Frank Hopkins is buried in Glen Nevis. Unfortunately his wife watched the whole incident while not realising that her husband had been killed. Meanwhile, the wreck of ML 133 can still be seen on the Camasnagaul shore at low water.

African Land Forces Summit 2010
What is it?
African Land Forces Summit is a premiere engagement opportunity that brings together land forces chiefs of staff from African nations and military leaders from the U.S. Army to discuss topics based on the theme "Adapting Land Forces to 21st Century Security Challenges."
Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, U.S. Army Africa commander, will host the inaugural African Land Forces Summit in Washington, D.C., May 10-14, 2010, on behalf of Gen. George W. Casey Jr., U.S. Army Chief of Staff.
What has the Army done?
U.S. Army Africa invited 44 African land forces chiefs of staff to attend the summit. Gen. Casey will open the event, and the summit will present a number of high-level guest speakers and multiple opportunities to discuss topics relevant to each areas specific needs. Speakers will address topics such as African Security Challenges, Peace Support Operations and Institutional Adaptation, followed by small-group discussions. The event will also include a visit to Fort Benning, Ga., where African military leaders will see the full-spectrum of Soldier training.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The next African Land Forces Summit will take place in 2012 in a yet-to-be-determined location in Africa. The forum will meet every two years because the invited leaders recognize global trends affecting the region and are dedicated to working collectively to keep pace with the changing environment. U.S. Army Africa is the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) assigned to U.S. Africa Command, and is America's premier Army team dedicated to positive change in Africa. U.S. Army Africa will continue to build cooperative relationships and enduring partnerships that contribute to African capabilities.
Why is this important to the Army?
This is the first African Land Forces Summit, which opens attendance to land forces chiefs of staff from African nations. The African Land Forces Summit provides an opportunity for U.S. participants to hear issues and concerns directly from African military leaders. It also provides a forum for our partner nations to freely express their opinions, concerns, desires, goals and ideas. Developing cooperative relationships and enduring partnerships among our militaries will help promote security, stability and peace in Africa.

Ducks top Hoyas in Armed Forces Classic at Camp Humphreys
By Tim Hipps
U.S. Army Installation Management Command
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea – In a season opener between teams led by newcomers, Joseph Young scored 24 points to lead No. 19 Oregon to an 82-75 victory over Georgetown in the 2013 Armed Forces Classic here.
The Ducks and Hoyas tipped off Nov. 9 at 10:16 a.m., on a Saturday morning in the Humphreys Community Fitness Center. For college basketball fans across America, the game was one of many season openers on Friday night. Only one, however, was played before 2,100 U.S. troops and their family members, along with a worldwide television audience on ESPN.
“We’re about to start the journey to determine who is the best team in college basketball, the best team in the country, and we’re doing it in front of the best team in the world,” ESPN announcer Jay Bilas said. “I’m in absolute awe of the commitment, the sacrifice, of our men and women in uniform.”
Young, a junior guard who transferred from Houston is a son of Michael Young, who played for the high-flying “Phi Slama Jama” teams of the early 1980’s. He grabbed five rebounds and was perfect on 12 free throws in his first game as a Duck.
Joshua Smith, a 6-foot-10, 350-pound junior center who transferred from UCLA, led Georgetown (0-1) with 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting and 5 of 9 free throws before fouling out of his first game as a Hoya with 9 seconds remaining.
Jason Calliste made all 11 of his free throws and scored 16 points for Oregon (1-0). Mike Moser added 15 points, seven rebounds and a career-high six steals, the most by an Oregon player in 15 seasons. Darius Wright was the last Duck to post six steals in a game against USC on Jan. 7, 1999.
“We came a long way, so we really didn’t want to lose this one,” Moser said. “It definitely feels good to go home – a 12-hour ride – with a win.”
Damyean Dotson grabbed eight rebounds and Johnathan Loyd had seven assists for Oregon. Loyd recorded his 304th career assist for a spot on the Ducks’ top 10 list.
The Hoyas shot 1 of 15 from 3-point range, failed to find much offensive continuity, and were outrebounded, 40-32.
“Things we can control, we have to control,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. “We had too many untimely unforced turnovers. We got our rhythm offensively, but we gave up a lot of threes in a row – it felt like four or five. The timing of that is what we have to learn. When we had to get a stop or a rebound, we didn’t.”
Oregon took an 18-7 lead via a 12-2 run, capped by two free throws by Calliste with 12:27 remaining in the first half. Calliste also converted a three-point play that gave the Ducks a 30-23 lead with 5:25 remaining in the period. Oregon led, 37-34, at halftime.
Georgetown took its first lead since 2-0 on a steal by Markel Starks and Smith’s feed to Jabril Trawick for a layup and a 40-39 lead with 18:06 left. D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera’s jumper put Georgetown ahead, 42-39. Loyd responded with a 3-pointer, Young followed with a layup, and the Ducks led the rest of the way.
Starks finished with 16 points and four assists for Georgetown. Trawick added 11 points and three rebounds. Before departing, Moser saluted the troops who welcomed the Ducks to Camp Humphreys, their most distant regular-season game site in school history.
“We had a lot of fun,” Moser said. “Getting a chance to hang out with the troops for a couple days inspired us to try and come out here and win this game.”
Played on Veterans Day weekend, the game featured a military theme throughout. Rather than players’ last names, Army values, such as “Courage,” “Integrity” and “Respect,” adorned the back of Georgetown’s camouflage-patterned jerseys. The backs of the Ducks’ camouflage-patterned jerseys displayed: “USA.” Members of both coaching staffs wore military-style cargo pants and combat boots.
“This was an unbelievable experience,” Thompson said. “It was a privilege to play in this environment, and it was a privilege to play in front of the Soldiers. One of the most rewarding times was serving lunch yesterday and getting the chance to interact with the young men and women stationed here at Camp Humphreys.”
Georgetown players Nate Lubick and Starks also were appreciative.
“This was a great opportunity to get a close-up look at what life is like for the men and women who protect our country,” Lubick said. “We’re very fortunate to have the opportunity to come here and play a game to thank them for all they do.”
“We’re blessed to have the chance to come here and see and tour the base and the helicopters,” Starks added. “It’s amazing all that they do and we’re really thankful to get the chance to meet everyone here.”
Folks at Camp Humphreys thought likewise.
“It’s such a blessing,” said Cassie Gaudette, wife of Army Capt. Brian Gaudette. “I don’t think that they can truly understand how exciting and wonderful it is to have a little piece of home and have the teams come here to South Korea. We’re originally from Eugene [home of the Oregon Ducks], so this was really exciting to see.”
Oregon played without sophomores Dominic Artis and Ben Carter, who were suspended nine games for violating NCAA rules by selling school-issued athletic apparel. If only they knew what they missed.

Story
This year's UK Armed Forces Day National Event in Edinburgh has witnessed some of the most spectacular military displays ever seen in the United Kingdom.
It is estimated that 100,000 will have watched the full three days of Armed Forces Day events, in partnership with BAe Systems and Finmeccanica, which draws to a close tomorrow 26th June.
The Chindits were the largest of all the allied special forces of the 2nd World War. Formed and lead by Major-General Orde Wingate DSO, they fought behind enemy lines in Northern Burma during 1943 and 1944 in the War against Japan. They were unconventional due to their total reliance on airdrops for their supplies and complete dependence on wireless for communications.
For more information see: www.chindits.info/index.html.
The Chindit Memorial was unveiled on 16th October 1990 by HRH The Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Formation of a New Polish Special Operations Unit - AGAT
On the 18th March a New Special Operations unit was formed as part of the Polish Army - AGAT – This unit inherits the name and traditions of the famous WW2 AGAT Diversion Unit, which fought in World War II in occupied Warsaw - Subject to Kedywowi (Directorate of Diversion) Headquarters of the Army and it became famous for, among others things the attack on the head of the SS and police district of Warsaw
Modern AGAT is a special unit designed to perform tasks including the provision of assault combat support (kinetic) special operations conducted by Special Forces, as well as performing direct action at the back and the grouping of the enemy on the stated objectives. Moreover, it can conduct operations against the terrorist, anti-guerrilla and your critical infrastructure protection.
The units structure and purpose will be the equivalent of 75th Ranger Regiment (75th Rangers Regiment), and British Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). And is built around Assault Teams and Support Teams with JTACS and Forward Artillery Observers and other specialists
The Role of the Unit will be the equivalent of 75th Ranger Regiment (75th Rangers Regiment), and British Special Forces Support Group (SFSG).
Currently the unit is half way through the process of the selection and training of candidates for the new unit – With the selection and training course being run by experienced instructors from the 75th Rangers and US Special Forces .The first team to reach the initial assault capability will be ready for operations by the end of 2012.
