U.S.S. " New York"
amphibious transport dock ship -- March 2, 2008
The New York is the fifth amphibious transport dock ship in the
San Antonio class. It will support amphibious,
special operations and expeditionary warfare missions.
The ship will be used to transport and land
Marines, their equipment and supplies, using air cushion or
conventional landing craft and amphibious assault vehicles,
augmented by helicopters or vertical takeoff
and landing aircraft.
The four ships of the San Antonio class launched
ahead of the New York were the San Antonio, the New Orleans,
the Mesa Verde and the Green Bay. Yet to come are the San
Diego, which had its keel laying in May; the Anchorage,
which had its keel laying in September; the Arlington and the

Biometric ID for US military -- Oct. 27, 2006
Freeland, WA, USA, October 26, 2006 -- The
United States Military Central Command is deploying soldiers to
Iraq with the latest technology in biometric security to secure
their personal and private information. Commanders at CENTCOM are
distributing the BioCert(r) ClipBio(tm) Pro 1GB fingerprint flash
drives to soldiers being deployed to Iraq.
US Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and other
coalition forces are using the ClipBio Pro as shown on
the BioCert(r) ClipBio Pro Website to secure their personal
communications with their families, personal files, create,
store and email documents and to store confidential information
all protected with their fingerprints. The BioCert ClipBio Pro is
designed to secure up to 1Gigabyte of information with a simple
swipe of your finger.
Unlike previous generations, today's soldiers have the ability to
communicate from the field via the Internet with their families
through the use of email, video email and other high tech methods
on a regular basis. In years past, these messages from loved ones
in the battlefield used to take months to get from a combat zone
to the recipient. Now they take nano-seconds.
Todays soldier can carry everything they need to do everything
they would normally do with a PC, all in under 2 ounces - in the
palm of their hand for under a hundred dollars. Members of every
branch of service are carrying their ClipBio Pro with them in the
field." claims James Childers - CEO of Artemis Solutions
Group, makers of the BioCert ClipBio Pro Flash Drives
but also to conduct other personal business such as balancing the checkbook, budgeting, checking
or repairing their credit report, online banking
and all of the other activities that they would perform on their

Mandated anthrax shots for the military -- Oct.

"It is an unnecessary, unproven and potentially unsafe
vaccine," Zaid said. "Everyone is concerned as to their

the vaccine works in humans. . . . I think this program is
nothing more than a glorified public relations campaign to

complained of fatigue, migraines, pain and

Iran breaks seals on nuclear reactors -- Jan. 14, 2006
( Ed :
Our God is so sovereign that He makes even the secular press to
declare His word. Praise God ! )
Iran has "broken the seals". The phrase
refers to the seals placed by UN nuclear inspectors on equipment
that, unsealed, enables uranium enrichment, making possible the
development of a nuclear bomb.
It has a suitably apocalyptic
ring. In the Book of Revelation, the Lamb
breaks the seven seals and earth-shattering violence
ensues: "…the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together… And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty
men… hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains".
That's what Ahmadinejad means, too. Last
September, he addressed the United Nations in a speech that
called on God to hurry up and send along his "Promised
One". This was a reference to the strong Shi'ite belief in a
Mahdi, or Hidden Messenger, who will reappear in
the world to rule it aright

Are we
pulling our troops out of South Korea ?? Jan. 20, 2006
The agreement, which was reached between Minister of
Foreign Affairs and Trade Ban Kimoon and his American counterpart
Condoleezza Rice in Washington, permits the U.S. to
relocate its troops stationed in South Korea to other parts of
the world where the U.S. faces conflicts. The
agreement concluded three years of tough negotiations on the global strategic flexibility policy
Washington has pursued since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Also significant in the agreement is the U.S. respect for
Seoul's position that it will not get involved in regional
conflict in Northeast Asia. Even though it was not made
clear, the regional conflict refers to tension between China
and Taiwan, triggered by an independence movement of the
latter's ruling party. President Roh Moo-hyun voiced deep
concerns about involvement in the China-Taiwan conflict last year
Even though it is highly improbable at present, it
is hard not to entertain the possibility that U.S. removal or
reduction of its troops could induce the
North to enhance its aggression on the South

Beijing also wants to prevent North Korea from
economic collapse, because that would probably speed unification

Army uses phosphorus in Falluja,
Iraq ? -- Nov. 22, 2005
misinformation along with facts
Those familiar with white phosphorus, known
in the military as "WP" or "Willie Pete,"
said it could deliver terrible burns. An exploding round scatters
bits of the compound that burst into flames on exposure to air
and can burn into flesh, penetrating to the
bone. But white phosphorus would have burned
victims' clothing, too, they said. The bodies in the film, they
said, appeared to be decomposed after lying for days in the sun
an international treaty on conventional weapons that took force
in 1983. The treaty outlaws dropping incendiary weapons
from the air in areas where there is a "concentration of
civilians," and requires "all feasible
precautions" to prevent harm to civilians. The United
States is a party to the treaty, and although
it has not ratified the protocol that addresses incendiary
weapons, the State Department considers the
protocol to be legally binding, Kimball said.

Base Closings in November of 2005
WASHINGTON -- The House voted overwhelmingly to allow the first
round of U.S. military base closures and consolidations in a
decade, clearing the way for facilities across the country to
start shutting their doors as early as next month. In a 324-85
vote, the House refused to veto the final report of the 2005
base-closing commission, meaning the report seems all but certain
to become law in mid-November.

That's the case at the Raytheon Co. facility in
McKinney, where thousands of parts are stored in cardboard boxes
stacked in massive spinning carousels. A tracking chip on the box
is activated as it rumbles past a bank of electronic readers,

Alan Estevez is in charge of RFID for the Defense Department, and

Women
in combat
http://newstandardnews.net/content/?action=show_item&itemid=549
December
13, 2004 ... "collocation" ..."collocate" ... "
mixed-sex"
To some in the Army, the confidential briefing
proves that the service is moving toward a decision to put women
within direct combat units, despite statements denying such
plans, including a Nov. 3 Capitol Hill briefing for senior
congressional staff members by Army and Pentagon officials.
But the new policy clearly stated that a prohibition would
continue for ground units that participate in direct combat. The
1994 policy also said women would not serve "where units and
positions are doctrinally required to physically
collocate and remain with direct ground combat units
that are closed to women."
Now, the Army's transformation plans
include proposals for much tighter mingling of combat and
noncombat units
But Mrs. Donnelly said the change is on paper only. She said that
the 3rd Infantry's FSC, which is mixed-sex,
would have to stay, or collocate, with the combat brigade
"100 percent of the time" to do its job in the way the
Army envisions.

Righteous Judge rules against forced antrax shots
-- Oct. 28, 2004
Congress has prohibited the administration of investigational
drugs to service members without their consent. This court will
not permit the government to circumvent this requirement,"
he wrote.
"The men and women of our armed forces deserve the assurance
that the vaccines our government compels them to take into their
bodies has been tested by the greatest scrutiny of all -- public
scrutiny," Sullivan said.
Defense officials early this year said about 1 million troops
have been given the shots under the anthrax vaccination program.
Some of the troops have reported inflammation in the area of the
vaccination. Others have reported extreme fatigue,
joint pain and temporary memory
loss.
Worried about possible dangerous side effects, hundreds of U.S.
service members have refused the vaccinations since the program
began in 1998. Many have faced punishment, including
being thrown out of the military.

He [ Francis Tusa ] says this particularly applies to
plans to create "digitised battlespace"
by tracking the location of all vehicles and individuals on a
battlefield. The MoD announced a pilot of this Joint Effects
Tactical Targeting System two months ago
But could soldiers become over-reliant on
technology? Could they become so much a part

showed how RFID data from Class 1 Electronic Product Code tags (EPC)
could be aggregated automatically and stored on a
battery-assisted passive tag (BAP)
with a temperature sensor. (With a BAP tag, the battery is
used to power the temperature sensor, not to broadcast a signal,
so it is not an active tag.)
For the demonstration, a Class 1 tag from Alien
Technology was put on each case of Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs)
and Unitized Group Rations (UGR). An EPC was
written to each case tag. As the cases were stacked on each
pallet, the tags were read and the system checked to ensure that
there were 48 cases on each pallet of MREs or 24 on each pallet
of UGRs

US Troops to Northern Africa -- March 15, 2004
Units of around 200 from the US army's 10th Special Forces Group
are already installed, or are due to arrive, in Mauritania,
Mali, Chad and Niger to train their armies in
anti-terrorism tactics and to improve coordination with the US
military.
Military cooperation with Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia
- where many suspected violent Islamists detained in Europe over
the past two years come from - is also being boosted.
Britain is being brought into the north African alliance as part
of a joint European operation called the African Clearing House,
he said.
Senior military commanders from several African countries,
including General Amari of Algeria, will gather in Stuttgart for
a meeting with the Americans next week.
A need for the US European command to concentrate harder on north
and west Africa may explain why the US Sixth Fleet
is considering moving its main base from Gaeta, in Italy, to
the southern Spanish port of Rota.

Germany will not help US soldiers---March
7, 2003
Berlin (CNSNews.com) - Adding another sticking
point to strained relations with the United States, Germany says
its troops will not come to the rescue of American soldiers if
they invade Iraq and face a chemical or biological attack there.
German defense minister Peter Struck said Friday
that his forces will only defend and assist American soldiers and
civilians based in Kuwait, where some German troops are currently
stationed.
German soldiers in Kuwait possess equipment to detect
contamination by biological and chemical weapons. But if the
attack takes place in Iraq, German troops will not go forward to
assist U.S. soldiers or their allies.
"Our soldiers will remain in Kuwait because the defense
agreement applies to the citizens and American troops stationed
in that country," Struck said in an interview with the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. "The protection of
American soldiers advancing in Iraqi territory must be taken on
by the Americans themselves."
Last week, Germany said that it would send some 30 additional
soldiers to join the elite troops operating the Fuchs -
vehicles specially fitted with advanced equipment for detecting
chemical, biological or nuclear contamination. The
vehicles are stationed about 60 miles from the Iraqi border......
"I can't imagine that a German defense minister would deny
emergency help for attacked American soldiers in Iraq only
kilometers from where the Fuchs are stationed," Pflueger
said.

Nat'l Security Personnel System NSPS--Nov.
24, 2003
2004 Defense Authorization Act
Today's war on terror is unlike any our nation has fought before.
Instead of opposing armies, we face terrorists who move
information at the speed of an e-mail, money at the speed
of a wire transfer, and people at the speed of a
commercial jetliner. And, as the century unfolds, we may face
still different threats -- and wars that could be distinctly
different. To deal with these new challenges, our forces need to
be light, flexible and agile. The same is true
of the men and women who support them in the DoD. Our 700,000
civilian employees also need flexibility -- so
they can move money, shift people between tasks, design and
acquire new weapons more rapidly, and respond to the continuing
changes in our security environment.
The bill allows the DoD to set up a National
Security Personnel System for its civilians,
giving managers greater freedom to assign
the civilian work-force to different tasks quickly, as the
circumstances may require. It authorizes "pay-for-performance"
and expedited hiring practices
that will help the department recruit, retain and compete with
the private sector for talent. And it authorizes national-level bargaining
authority, so the DoD can negotiate with
unions at the national level, instead of renegotiating the same
issue with 1,300 different union locals.
These reforms will allow us to train our
forces, while maintaining the department's high standard of
environmental stewardship. This legislation also preserves the
authority Congress granted two years ago to begin an orderly
process of realigning our military base structure, which
still reflects Cold War priorities. It also authorizes a 3.7%
across-the-board pay raise for those in uniform -- volunteers all
-- and preserves Imminent Danger Pay and Family Separation
Allowance for the men and women fighting on the front lines. And
it provides authorization for research
into new military capabilities that will
allow us to reach terrorist networks and other threats in the
global war on terror -- and prepare for threats still unseen.
85,000 GI's and 43,000 Nat'l Guard and Reservists
headed for Mideast --Nov. 6, 2003
The Pentagon announced plans
Thursday to send 85,000 Army and Marine combat forces to
Iraq early next year to relieve troops completing
one-year tours — a rotation that when combined with another
switchout of troops in Afghanistan will be the Army's
largest sequence of troop movements since World War II.
In addition, 43,000 National Guard and Reserve support
troops have been alerted that they may be sent as well.
In an added twist, the Army announced that soldiers in
every unit designated for deployment to Iraq next year —
whether active-duty or reserve — will be
prohibited from leaving the service during a period
beginning 90 days before they go to 90 days after they return.
The Bush administration has set no timetable for
withdrawing American forces from Iraq. President Bush
delivered a message to the troops on Thursday via the American
Forces Radio and Television Service.
Some of the troops
rotating into Iraq will be returning for their second tour of
duty there — and some only a
short time after they were sent home, Rumsfeld said.
Reservists will be called up for a maximum of 18 months,
with a year in Iraq, Rumsfeld said.
Instead of relying almost exclusively on the Army to provide
reserve forces for support, the Pentagon intends to mobilize
hundreds of specialists from the reserve components of the Air
Force and Navy, too.

20,000 Marines called
back to active duty again in Mideast -- Nov.
6, 2003
40,000 National Guardsmen and Reservists also to go to
"stabalize" the Mideast
The 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit recently began
anti-smuggling operations in the Persian Gulf coastal area in
southern Iraq. But no Marines have been doing stability
operations, such as working with Iraqi civilians on rebuilding
projects or hunting for fugitives
loyal to Saddam, since the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force
departed south-central Iraq in September.
Also included in the next U.S. rotation will be
thousands of newly mobilized National Guard and Reserve troops
as well as active duty Army units such as the 1st Cavalry
Division from Fort Hood, Texas, and the 1st Infantry Division in
Germany, according to officials who discussed the matter on
condition of anonymity.
No National Guard combat brigades will be called on, beyond the
three already mobilized from North Carolina, Arkansas and
Washington state to prepare for deployment to Iraq next year. The
extra Guard and Reserve troops to be mobilized will be combat
support forces such as military police.
The Army has shouldered most of the burden of attempting
to stabilize Iraq. It has been stretched thin by multiple
overseas commitments, including anti-terrorism efforts
Afghanistan as well as Iraq.

Pakistani-Taliban to strike US troops in Afghan. before winter--
Oct. 7, 2003
A Taliban army is mobilizing in Pakistan for an attack into
Afghanistan before the start of winter.
Up to 2,500 fighters are in Baluchistan province
preparing to cross the border on motorcycles and attack United
States and Afghan government forces, according to Western and
Afghan intelligence officials...
"We have the American forces and the puppet regime of
[President Hamid] Karzai on the run. They will collapse
soon" said a Taliban mullah in Pushtunabad bazaar.
Their funding comes from the drugs trade and al-Qa'eda. Osama bin
Laden is still in hiding along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The Taliban are also deeply involved in the heroin trade
which last year generated £717 million in Afghanistan -
a sum equal to the amount spent on reconstruction aid for the
country. Logistical support for the Taliban is available from the
hardline mullahs of the Jamiat-e-Ullema Islam (JUI) - a partner
in the ruling coalition that governs Baluchistan.

Afghan troops greatly imperiled -- Oct. 7, 2003
Taliban militants may be planning "spectacular attacks"
against American-led coalition forces, the U.S. special envoy to
Afghanistan said Tuesday, the second anniversary of the start of
the war that ousted the hardline Islamic regime.
The envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad (search), urged neighboring Pakistan to take
stronger action against Taliban insurgents and their Al Qaeda
allies who take shelter on its side of the border.
"We know the Taliban have been more
active in recent weeks and months and there are indications that
they may be planning even larger attacks, more spectacular
attacks," Khalilzad said. "Our forces and our coalition
partners are prepared to prevent and respond to any increased
Taliban activity."

US troops dying from blood clots (vaccines??) Oct. 7, 2003
Unexplained blood clots are among the reasons a number of
U.S. soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom have died from sudden
illnesses, an investigation by United Press International has
found.
In addition to NBC News Correspondent David Bloom, who
died in April of a blood clot in his lung after collapsing south
of Baghdad, the Pentagon has told families that blood clots
caused two soldiers to collapse and die. At least eight other
soldiers have also collapsed and died from what the military has
described as non-combat-related causes.
Sartin, a former Air Force doctor, last spring
treated a soldier who might have died from
anthrax or smallpox side effects
Bill just dropped. They thought he had been shot.
That is how suddenly it happened," said Rose Hobby, the
woman whose 39-year-old brother-in-law William Jeffries collapsed
in Kuwait.

THOUSANDS OF
US TROOPS SENT HOME FOR UNEXPLAINED MEDICAL REASONS
September 12, 2003
According to the
Washington Post, “more than 6,000 service members” have
been sent back to either Germany or the US “due to medical
reasons.” This is very much at variance with US stated
casualties of only 1,124 for the same period. About a
100 of the mysterious 4,500 soldiers with medical problems have
died or become incapacitated due to toxic shock, deceptively
labeled as pneumonia by US military spokesmen. A large
portion of these toxic shock cases were reported to have
been related to the soldiers recently taking up smoking during
their stint in Iraq. Doctors in Germany have been ordered
to not make comments about the toxic shock, but they know this is
something much more dangerous than mere pneumonia. Is it
another reaction to the vaccines given troops prior to
departure, or a response to the many health threats that abound
in a chemical and biological war ground? There is enough
depleted uranium expended in Iraq to cause many health problems,
which could be one explanation. Some of the medical
casualties are mental cases as well. The conditions in Iraq
are very stressing to front line troops, many of which do not
have access to regular food or cool water in 120 degree weather
for months at a time. They often have to buy ice from Iraqi
civilians just to get a cool drink. No wonder US field
grade officers are getting a bad reputation among the troops for
“not taking care of their own.” Joel Skousen WAB Sept. 12, 2003

and prepared to fight on a battlefield, like Iraq, without
traditional front lines and rear areas.

US Forces to remain on Long Duty in Iraq --
April 30, 2003
NAJAF, Iraq - As the sandstorms howl, bodies ache with
cramps and fever and the hours creep by dull and empty. Soldiers
daydream of home, or at least some action in Iraq . But for many,
neither is likely any time soon.
Soldiers like him will be logging
thousands of hours standing guard in coming months at far-flung
locations across Iraq, mostly waiting and looking at nothing but
sand or stars.
The hardest thing about Iraq? Having so
much time to sit around," Llanas said.
I believe our part in this overall
endeavor has been completed. If so, I want to go home," said
the Washington D.C. native Spc.
Christopher Ducheneaux, an infantryman
During this phase, the dangers faced by
U.S. troops are expected to diminish but the already harsh
environment will become harsher. In Iraq's baking summer months,
diseases spread more rampantly and venomous snakes, scorpions and
spiders join the area's legions of flies.
Diarrhea, vomiting and flu-like fever, lasting 24
hours to several days, is already taking its toll on many at this
compound. Medics say other units around the country are also
being hit.
It's a Sunday and gusts of wind are again whipping up the
surrounding desert to form stinging, brownish clouds. Dust
penetrates every human orifice, and carpets the bare concrete
floors of rundown barracks on which the soldiers sleep. When the
wind shifts, the stench of human waste being burned in barrels by
the compound wall assaults the senses.
There's nostalgia over simple backyard picnics and regrets at
having missed yet another birthday of a child.

Pentagon to
activate thousands of reservists--Dec 5-2002
The Pentagon is preparing for a major
call-up of National Guard and Reserve troops, a move that
would fill military jobs that would be critical if the United
States goes to war against Iraq, Defense Department officials
said today.
In what is likely to be only the first wave of new call-ups, the
Pentagon is expected in the next several days
to activate as many as 10,000 reservists,
mainly military police units, for security duty here and abroad,
officials said. They would join the 50,755 reservists now
mobilized for the defense of the United States after Sept. 11 and
for the war in Afghanistan.
But if President Bush orders an attack against
Iraq, the Pentagon has plans to summon to active duty roughly as
many reservists as it did during the Persian Gulf war in 1991,
when about 265,000 members of the National Guard and
Reserves were called up. No final decisions have been made on
these larger mobilizations, officials said.
"Activating reserves is significant
because it will affect every community
in America, and it sends a signal that
the president is serious," a senior military official said.

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. Seven
of Germany's Russian-designed MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters and their
air-to-air missiles will be tested at this Florida Panhandle base
over the next couple months.
The Luftwaffe jets were
inherited from East Germany when it reunited with West Germany
after the Cold War. They are scheduled to begin arriving May 9
with their German pilots and ground crews.
The testing will be part of a continuing program by the U.S. and
German air forces to find out what the MiG-29s can do in combat,
said Lt. Col. Scot Brown,
director of advanced programs for the Eglin-based 28th Test
Squadron.
While here, the MiGs are expected to fly about 300
sorties including live-fire tests of AA-10 Alamo radar-homing and
AA-11 Archer heat-seeking missiles. The weapons will be fired at
target drones launched over the Gulf of Mexico from Tyndall Air
Force Base, about 50 miles east of Eglin.
Brown said the evaluation is important
because the Luftwaffe soon will replace the MiG-29s with the
delta-wing Eurofighter

June 12-2001 ... Luftwaffe
AF (German) to join Royal Air Force of England
GERMAN Luftwaffe pilots could be recruited into the Royal
Air Force to combat a critical shortage of British fighter
pilots.
RAF chiefs have already launched a recruitment drive to tempt
pilots from New Zealand after the government there announced the
disbanding of the country's fighter squadrons last month.
However, flyers from
Germany, France and Holland are also
being sought by the RAF. Freedom of movement inside the European
Union means continental pilots are allowed to work here.
The plan could lead to German pilots flying combat
missions in RAF jets. In exchange schemes, both air
forces have already helped each other, with one British pilot
being decorated by the Germans for his feats flying a German
aircraft during the 1999 Kosovo war.
