On July 9, the Africa Center for Strategic Studies hosted 25 Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI) Washington Mandela fellows at the National Defense University for a one-day simulation exercise focused on resolving some of Africa’s most pressing security issues.
Each of the 14 women and 11 men was assigned to represent either a regional economic community, a continental body, or an international organization and explore ways to address a worsening political, security, and humanitarian crisis in a fictitious African region. Their deliberations and recommendations on the simulated scenario focused on the need to involve various stakeholders, manage diverse interests, consider short- and medium-term responses, and promote the use of dialogue to bridge differences. Ensuing discussions with Africa Center faculty and staff highlighted ongoing policy and academic debates on choosing peace versus justice, the timing of civil war settlements, the challenges posed by financial constraints, and the limitations of international community’s capacity to respond to conflict.
The fellows—representing 21 African countries—were hosted by Rutgers University during their six-week stay in the United States. The Africa Center has hosted the YALI fellows each year since 2015. NDU’s Center for Applied Strategic Learning assisted in developing the simulation.
THE biggest live exercise of its kind ever held in Greater Manchester – Exercise Triton II – came to an end this morning (Friday, July 16, 2016) after months of intense planning.
Around 36 organisations across the region and nationally have been taking part in this major emergency planning exercise which saw dozens of emergency vehicles at sites across Greater Manchester and Chinook helicopters flying across the skies.
The complex scenario used was designed to test how local authorities, emergency services and other partners are equipped to tackle a major emergency working together.
Participating ‘players’ also included the military, government, health and utility companies, as well as voluntary agencies.
The exercise started on Monday, July 11, 2016, with ‘warnings’ from the Met Office regarding adverse weather and from the Environment Agency about the growing risk of regional flooding.
The emergency services, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and partners put procedures in place to ensure that where possible properties and critical infrastructure were protected and the public were warned. This theme was carried on through Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
To ensure that both players and plans were tested to their full, a dramatic scenario developed on Thursday, July 14, whereby the bank on the Dove Stone Reservoir in Oldham was breached and water cascaded through a number of boroughs within Greater Manchester.
This meant that evacuation procedures had to be put in place and rest centres set up. Later in the day, a coach ploughed into the River Tame in a mock crash and a full-scale search and rescue operation was carried out.
Paul Argyle, GMFRS’ Deputy County Fire Officer and Chair of Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, said: “Exercise Triton II was a hugely complex emergency planning exercise and I would like to thank all of the agencies that have taken part this week.
"This was a very detailed scenario which had impacts across every part of the region and necessitated a full range of partners taking part.
"The scale of the destruction and chaos in the exercise was deliberately designed to test the region at full stretch.
"We have to do this to ensure we are well prepared to deal with any future real-life event or disaster that might occur – and it is also invaluable that those taking part got the chance to practise essential response skills that would be used during a major incident like this.
"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who took part in this exercise. The patience and understanding of local residents and communities on Thursday (as response plans went into effect at 'live' sites) was also greatly appreciated.
“All players have now been 'stood down'. Our next task is to evaluate how the exercise went, step by step. We will want to find out what worked well and crucially to identify and learn any lessons that could help us in the future in real-life situations. I would like to point out that incidents as extreme as this are highly unlikely, but ensuring we practice our response means that we are ready to respond to a variety of scenarios."

This exercise was in the first studio session. I gathered a few materials and used foil and wax and experimented with the two and came out with this outcome. First i scrunched the foil together and melted drops of wax on the foil. Im interested in these two materials so i will keep experimenting with them and other materials that i will come across.
Exercise Javelin Chase
Brig. Tim Carmichael, commander, 1 Signal Brigade, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), hosted Exercise Javelin Chase (EJC), July 8-9. The race was organized to raise funds to support the Help for Heroes charity.
EJC is a 24-hour running race where 8-man teams will compete to see which team will complete the most laps on a one-mile course in 24-hours. The winning team will be the team that has completed the most amounts of laps in the time period. This could vary from 150 to 200 laps.
Each team had to raise a minimum of £250 to participate in EJC.
“This is a charity race to raise money for Help for Heroes, which is a national charity that looks after the needs of injured military serving members and former service members,” said Brig. Carmichael.
He said they hope to raise a total of £5000 if not more and every single penny will be donated to Help for Heroes charity.
The event took place at the sports field behind HQ ARRC Officer’s Mess. The course was on grass and tracks with no tarmac that winds around and through the woods. As if it wasn’t going to be challenging enough to run 24-hours, the rain on opening day would make it a little more testing.
In the 24-hours a combined total of 2426.00 miles were covered, with the winning team, 299 Signal Squadron, Special Communication running 222 of those miles, and 22 Signal Regiment coming in second with 217 laps.

27. augustā Ventspils tuvumā, atklātā jūrā, norisinājās starptautiskās pretterorisma mācības “Baltic Maritime Exercise 2015”. Šīs mācības rīkoja pretterorisma vienība OMEGA, kas bija atbildīga par mācību organizēšanu Latvijā. Mācībās piedalījās specvienības no Lietuvas, Igaunijas, Polijas un Vācijas, kā arī pārstāvji no citām ES pretterorisma vienību asociācijas “ATLAS” vienībām. Mācības atbalstīja arī Valsts robežsardze ar tehnisko nodrošinājumu.
Mācību scenārijs paredzēja situāciju, ka atklātā jūrā teroristi sagūstījuši civilo prāmi un tika nolemts piesaistīt tuvējo valstu specvienības, lai nodrošinātu veiksmīgu kontroles atgūšanu pār kuģi. Ventspilī ieradās dažādu valstu specvienības ar savu tehnisko ekipējumu: kuteriem un helikopteriem, lai kopīgi atrisinātu uzdevumu. Mācības norisinājās reālā vidē – atklātā jūrā. To mērķis bija pilnveidot starptautisko sadarbību un gūt pieredzi šāda veida operācijā, kad tiek iesaistītas vairāku valstu specvienības, kā pamatā ir ES pretterorisma vienību asociācijas “ATLAS” noteikumi.
Izmantojot jūras patruļkuģus un helikopterus, specvienības devās uz nolaupīto prāmi, lai sākotnēji veiktu kuģa ieņemšanu no helikopteriem, nodrošinot drošību uz prāmja klāja. Kontrolējot klāju, darbību uzsāka arī uz ūdens esošās vienības, kas iekļuva prāmja zemākajos stāvos un veica savus uzdevumus. Gūstot kontroli pār prāmi, tas tika nogādāts Ventspils ostā specvienību kuteru un helikopteru pavadībā.

Students and staff from Hartlepool College of Further Education played a major part in one of the largest emergency services training exercises to be held in the north east for many years.
Exercise “Sandpiper” was designed to test the response of police, ambulance and fire services in the event of an “active shooter” scenario, where public safety is endangered by a gunman or gunmen. Although such incidents have recently been highlighted by events in Australia and France, Sandpiper was actually conceived over a year ago

GRAND BARA DESERT, Djibouti (September 25, 2012) – Exercise patients, secured on litters, await the attention of rescuers during Mass Casualty Exercise 12-1, which started in the Grand Bara Desert, Djibouti, on September 25, 2012. The exercise followed a fictitious storyline, but called for the employment of real-world assets. While French and U.S. forces conduct frequent combined training events, this was the first exercise of this type between the two nations in Djibouti. The U.S. forces involved are assigned to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, or CJTF-HOA. CJTF-HOA works with coalition partners, such as the French, and with countries in East Africa to promote regional security and stability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sergeant Christopher Ruano)

Mariager-Handest Veteranjernbane, 19 Aug 1984
In August and September 1984, I was in Karup, Denmark supporting a NATO exercise with my Air National Guard unit. As we had weekends and every other weekday off, I had the chance to explore the railroads of Jutland.
I rode three Veteranjernbaner or veteran railways in Jutland while I was there. The first two I rode my first weekend in Denmark. I posted the album of the line that runs between Bryrup and Vrads a few days ago. The day I rode it was a cloudy Saturday. The next day was a sunny Sunday and I went out to ride the Mariager Handest line.
As the information I had about the line was in Danish, it is only now that I'm posting these photos that I learned a bit about the history of the route.
Mariager is a town in north eastern Jutland on a fjord. It has a port and to make the port more useful, a private railway was constructed to Mariager as late as 1927. The line ran from Mairager to a crossing of the DSB east Jutland north-south mainline at Farup, between Randers and Hobro and continued west to Viborg, which is near where I was staying at Karup.
The line did not have a lot of traffic and had road competition from the beginning. It was shut down west of Farup in 1965 and passenger service from Farup to Mariager finshed the following year, but it turns out some freight continued to be carried until 1985. The DSB had taken over freight operations when the private line shut down. Although out of service, the line appears to be intact to Farup on Google Maps.
On weekends the Danish Railway Club runs trains to Handest, about 17 km each way and a short distance from the DSB main at Farup. Despite the line having been intact to Farup in 1984, the passenger service did not directly connect with the DSB there and I had to take a bus from Hobro to Mariager.
My route to Hobro was bus from Karup to Herning, train to Arhus via Silkeborg, on a line that I had not yet ridden, then north from Arhus to Hobro.
I checked out a 2-4-0T and 2-6-0T in the railway museum and an old diesel stored outside. Class F 0-6-0T 653, the same class of engine I'd seen in Bryrup the day before, was handling the wooden 4 wheel cars on the steam excursion train. A Triangle railcar was alternating runs with the steam train. I rode the steam train.
The line has some nice views, especially along Mariager Fjord at the beginning and end of the round trip.
After riding the train, I hiked back along the ROW and shot the railcar arriving along the fjord.
The line's website is at mhvj.eu/ It is in Danish, but Chrome will translate
I then seem to have taken a bus back to Hobro and then a train south to Langa, where I connected to the Lyntog Nordjylland, which took me to Viborg, from where I got a bus back to Karup.
I was looking forward to more trips as I still had several weeks in Denmark.
