Stephen Gledhill, Chief Executive of RFEA - The Forces Employment Charity, gave a presentation at the Air Power Conference on July 10th, 2014. The charity's mission is to help military personnel find and maintain employment after leaving the armed forces. Gledhill discussed challenges such as combating myths about unemployed veterans and converting military terminology to business language understood by employers. He argued that with proper preparation, veterans make highly trained and reliable employees. The presentation aimed to promote hiring veterans by emphasizing their strengths to overcome challenges in transitioning to civilian employment.
This is a presentation delivered by Brigadier Richard Stanford and Professor Jonathan Githens-Mazer, at the RUSI Defence Information Superiority Conference 2013.
The document discusses lessons from recent British military history and strategy. It outlines the UK's strategy in Afghanistan which aimed to reduce the insurgency and strengthen the Afghan state. Public opinion in the UK showed only 27-30% believed the campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq were successes. The document also notes the large spending by the UK on these campaigns and how the military has had to "make do" with less. It concludes with lessons about the importance of communication networks for future military operations and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) being key enablers of success.
1. The document discusses a conference on resilience and health in disasters in light of the UN's post-2015 agenda.
2. It emphasizes that evidence-based science is essential to support resilience in disaster risk reduction and reduce health impacts.
3. The Hyogo Framework for Action has successfully built international agreement on resilience, and there is an opportunity in upcoming 2015 UN agreements to further resilience for environment and health.

The document provides an overview of a lesson on Africa that includes:
1) A breakdown of the lesson plan with sections on unified command, exercises on the causes of African wars, and student presentations.
2) Information on the regional combatant commands including USAFRICOM and its headquarters in Germany.
3) A video and student presentations on topics related to Africa including social/cultural issues, health, economics, politics, and religion.
4) Details on strategic interests in Africa and its importance to global trade, resources, and partnerships to counter threats.
This document discusses generating sustainable capabilities for security forces. It covers:
1. The components of capability including doctrine, organizational structure, training, materials, automation, personnel, facilities and funding.
2. Growing confident and capable leaders through mentors who regulate information, pressure and incentives to foster incremental growth within a leader's "growth zone".
3. How contractor support in a combat environment provides continuity, needed skill sets like law enforcement training, and "train the trainer" programs. It also discusses risk tolerance and self-sustainment capabilities.
1. The document discusses how rapid technological changes in areas like materials science, robotics, and 3D printing are enabling the proliferation of small, inexpensive drones that could challenge traditional military capabilities.
2. It notes that technologies like nano-materials, advanced batteries, and artificial intelligence are improving drones' range, payload, and autonomy at decreasing costs.
3. The document raises implications for how unconventional attackers could more easily "bring the detonator" and questions whether tactical defense may gain an edge over power projection relying on conventional platforms, which could become more vulnerable to attacks.
This document discusses challenges to resilience from communicable and non-communicable diseases. It notes that the UK population is projected to grow significantly and age considerably over the next 25 years, increasing demands on health services. Long-term conditions are more prevalent in older and deprived groups, accounting for most health expenditures. Building resilience requires preventing long-term conditions, improving health in deprived areas, and adapting services to growing and aging populations. Antimicrobial resistance is also discussed as a major threat, as many infections may become untreatable without new drug discoveries. Ebola outbreaks in Africa are reviewed, and it is concluded that infectious disease threats are constantly changing and require resilient healthcare systems.
This document discusses different types of space weapons including directed-energy weapons (DEW), kinetic-energy weapons (KEW), and nuclear weapons. It provides a brief overview of space weapon categories without going into detail about any specific systems.
The document discusses trends in inequality internationally and within several countries. It shows that government taxes and transfers have helped to reduce inequality levels based on measurements of income inequality. However, earnings inequality has increased and mobility between socioeconomic classes has decreased. While the impact of inequality is still being studied, there are signs it may undermine political participation as the wealthy and educated vote more than other groups. Rising inequality also potentially threatens political stability by disenfranchising citizens and empowering populist parties.
The document discusses the disadvantages of a voluntary army and argues that no military problem can be solved by a voluntary army alone. It notes that in 1914, no campaign could be solved by just having "Six Regular divisions and fourteen Territorials." It states that the first rule is to enter the field with an army as strong as possible. However, training millions of recruits to the level of German troops with full equipment and auxiliary services would have required many more professional officers than what was available at the time.
The document provides an overview of the Air Dominance Department of the Navy, including its responsibilities, systems, and roadmap for the next 5 years. The department is responsible for ship classes, programs like Aegis and ballistic missile defense, and weapons systems. It focuses on systems engineering, testing, logistics support, and management. Over the next 5 years, it plans to work on advanced radars, Aegis support systems, Cooperative Engagement Capability, and missile integration, providing engineering and technical services through various contract awards totaling around $160-200 million.
The document discusses the UK's approach to international policing as part of its counterterrorism and anti-crime efforts. It notes that policing is considered a critical and pivotal part of the UK's Building Stability Overseas Strategy. However, it also points out two key obstacles: that the police are often not suited for volatile environments overseas and there are not enough of them, and that there is minimal political will or UN support to back up the UK's claims. In conclusion, it states that while the UK views policing as important, it may not accurately assess policing's actual ability to contribute to stability internationally given the obstacles.
The document discusses ways to boost resilience through innovative risk governance. It outlines that past decades have seen $1.5 trillion in economic damages from disasters due to increased population concentrations, urbanization, economic integration, and climate change. While OECD countries have made progress in disaster risk management, gaps are still revealed during disasters. These gaps exist in infrastructure maintenance, regulatory reforms, enforcement, and private sector and individual preparedness. Shortcomings in risk governance may undermine efforts to build resilience. The OECD recommendation on governance of critical risks provides principles for a holistic, foresight-based approach involving whole-of-government and whole-of-society cooperation to strengthen national resilience.

Corruption poses a threat to international security and stability according to a presentation given by Karolina MacLachlan and Emma Kerr of Transparency International UK-Defence and Security Programme. Corruption can lead to state failure and negatively impacts security as evidenced by the Iraqi president's admission that corruption in the military resulted in far fewer actual soldiers than reported. An analysis by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace also linked corruption and state failure while Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index further illustrates the scope of the problem.

The aviation industry is critical to the UK economy, contributing at least £16 billion annually. It employs over 230,000 directly and supports many indirect jobs. Aviation links the UK to over 370 international destinations. While most passengers come from Europe, about 8% come from regions like Africa and the Middle East that pose greater security risks. Aviation security is an ongoing priority that requires balancing risk management with business impacts. The government works closely with industry to help secure the aviation system both in the UK and overseas.
The document discusses the transition of the US Air Force from a Cold War structure to an Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept. During the Cold War, the Air Force had extensive overseas basing and personnel but after the Cold War ended, the force structure was reduced by 45% and overseas basing by 70%. This created issues with increased operations tempo and unpredictability for airmen. The AEF concept, introduced in 1999, reorganized the Air Force into 10 expeditionary forces that rotate every 4 months to provide predictable scheduling and meet combatant commander needs. Each AEF contains a collection of airpower capabilities. The AEF concept has provided a more sustainable way for the Air Force to manage resources, be

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
