Exercise Ramstein Rover 2010

Volk Field Air National Guard Base Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, and nearby training facilities will host the first international exercise training NATO Forward Air Controllers (FACs) in the US from 21 August to 3 September 2010.

Exercise Ramstein Rover 2010 (RR10) is an advanced training opportunity to exercise Close Air Support (CAS), FAC and Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) capabilities. It is conducted in close coordination with the Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Centre (CRTC) in a synthetic, but realistic scenario. Hosted by the United States of America, the training audience is composed of NATO member nations Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.

Exercise participants of RR10 are provided training that ensures effective employment of airpower in support of own forces....RR10 also prepares NATO FACs/JTACs for their deployment to NATO's ISAF mission in Afghanistan.

Training objectives include, but are not limited to: control of fighter aircraft in the execution of CAS; maintain training currency and develop FAC skills; introduce and practise convoy procedures and use spot maps and aerial photographs, and ; observe effect of live ordnance. Training will include state-of-the-art FAC technology like the ROVER V ground terminal.

"With NATO's approach 'train as you operate' we ensure best training and exercise opportunities during RR 10 for Air-Land Integration (ALI) elements and facilities in theatre-realistic scenarios," says the Exercise Director Colonel Rob Redanz, USA AF, head of the HQ AC Ramstein ISAF Branch overseeing the FAC Capability Branch (FCB), "about 40 trainees and 15 FAC instructors will participate in RR10. During the exercise's nine fly days, Air National Guard (ANG) F-16, B-1 and A-10 aircraft as well as ANG KC-135 tanker aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and rotary-wing assets will portray the air dimension."

HQ AC Ramstein FCB has prepared the exercise. The FCB has been working the standardization of NATO's FACs/JTACs and, using this process, has accredited several FAC training facilities.

The 25-strong HQ AC Ramstein team deploying to Volk Field is supported by staff from Allied Command Transformation, Norfolk, Virginia, Joint Force Command Brunssum, the Netherlands, NATO Communications and Information Systems Service Agency (NCSA) Squadrons Ramstein and Norfolk, the Air Support Operations Centre (ASOC), Salisbury, Great Britain, and the 111th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS), Camp Murray, Washington.

US missiles kill seven in North Waziristan

DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Two US missile strikes killed seven people in the country's Tribal Areas on Friday.

In the first strike, Pakistani officials said suspected US missiles killed five people in a tribal region near the Afghan border.

The two intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release the information to the media, said three missiles hit a house in a village near Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, on Friday evening.

They said the identity of the slain could not be ascertained....

In the second missile strike two people were killed. The officials said they believe both men slain in the vehicle in the village of Dattakhel in North Waziristan were foreign militants.

US drone attacks kill 10 in Pakistan

Two US drone attacks have killed at least ten people in Pakistan's northwestern tribal region amid growing discontent over climbing number of civilian casualties.

Security officials say the first strike hit a compound near Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan district.

The missiles landed in an area where mainly Afghan refugees live. The identity of those killed is yet unknown.

"A US drone fired two missile on a house used by militants at a compound; six militants have been killed and three wounded in this attack" AFP quoted a regional security official as saying.

The second attack targeted a car travelling through a small town some 30 kilometers east of Miranshah.

"US drones fired three missiles at the car, killing at least four militants inside the car," the official added

The US has carried out numerous such attacks on Pakistan's tribal areas.

The aerial raids, initiated by former US President George W. Bush, have been escalated under President Barack Obama.

Washington claims the strikes target militants. However, the attacks, conducted by CIA in coordination with the Pentagon, have reportedly killed hundreds of civilians in Pakistan since 2008.

Islamabad has repeatedly condemned the attacks, saying they violate Pakistan's sovereignty.

The issue of civilian casualties has strained relations between Islamabad and Washington with the Pakistani government repeatedly objecting to the attacks.

Document Reveals Military Was Concerned About Gulf War Vets' Exposur

Document Reveals Military Was Concerned About Gulf War Vets' Exposure to Depleted Uranium


Wednesday 28 July 2010 by: Mike Ludwig, t r u t h o u t | Report




(Photo: John Out and About / Flickr)


For years, the government has denied that depleted
uranium (DU), a radioactive toxic waste left over from nuclear fission
and added to munitions used in the Persian Gulf and Iraq wars, poisoned
Iraqi civilians and veterans.
But a little-known 1993 Defense Department document
written by then-Brigadier Gen. Eric Shinseki, now the secretary for the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), shows that the Pentagon was
concerned about DU contamination and the agency had ordered medical
testing on all personnel that were exposed to the toxic substance.

Shinseki's memo, under the subject line, "Review of
Draft to Congress - Health and Environmental Consequences of Depleted
Uranium in the U.S. Army -- Action Memorandum," makes some small
revisions to the details of these three orders from the DoD:
1. Provide adequate training for personnel who may come in contact with DU contaminated equipment.
2. Complete medical testing of all personnel exposed to DU in the Persian Gulf War.
3. Develop a plan for DU contaminated equipment recovery during future operations.
The VA, however, never conducted the medical tests,
which may have deprived hundreds of thousands of veterans from receiving
medical care to treat cancer and other diseases that result from
exposure to DU.
The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center recently
reported that ten years of data confirm that service members tend to
have higher rates of certain cancers compared to civilians, according to
the Army Times.
While researchers suspected that service members are diagnosed with
cancer more often and at a younger age because they have guaranteed
access to health care and mandatory exams, the data does not explain the
disparities in diagnosis among branches of the military. For example,
the rate of lung cancer among sailors is twice that of other branches,
while Marines have much lower cancer rates across the board.
On Tuesday, the VA's ongoing failure to treat and diagnose Gulf War related illnesses came up during a House Veterans Affairs subcommittee hearing
where a veterans advocacy group urged Shinseki to undertake
comprehensive research on the correlation between chronic illness and
exposure to DU in munitions during the Gulf War.
Armed with Shinseki's August 19, 1993 memo, Veterans
for Common Sense (VCS), said the VA, and Shinseki in particular, have "a
rare opportunity for a second chance."
"In military terms, VCS asks VA for a ceasefire,"
said Paul Sullivan, the executive director for VCS. "VCS urges VA
leadership to stop and listen to our veterans before time runs out, as
VA is killing veterans slowly with bureaucratic delays and mismanaged
research that prevent us from receiving treatments or benefits in a
timely manner."
Sullivan, himself a Gulf War veteran, told the
subcommittee that the VA has refused to listen to scientists and
veterans who are concerned about DU, leaving thousands of veterans
suffering from chronic illnesses related to the conflict unsure if they
will ever receive a solid diagnosis to justify the benefits and
treatment they need.
Of the 697,000 men and woman who served in Gulf War
operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield between 1990 and 1991, about
250,000 suffer from symptoms collectively known as "Gulf War Veterans'
Illnesses." The symptoms include fatigue, weakness, gastrointestinal
problems, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disturbances, persistent
headaches, skin rashes, respiratory conditions and mood changes,
according to the VA.
The VCS also petitioned Shinseki to investigate the
2009 termination of a $75 million research project on Gulf War illnesses
at the University of Texas medical center. Last year the VCS filed a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records of the "internal
sabotage" of Gulf War Veterans Illnesses research and the intentional
delaying of research and treatment, according to Sullivan. The VA has
yet to release any documents about the impeded research, and VCS filed a
FOIA appeal on June 29.
Sullivan said the VCS simply wants the government to
support independent testing on veterans exposed to DU, but the
Department of Defense prefers a "don't look, don't find policy."
"As a Gulf War veteran, I have watched too many of my
friends die without answers, without treatment, and without benefits,"
Sullivan said. "In a few cases, veterans completed suicide due to Gulf
War illness and the frustration of dealing with VA."
Sullivan testified as disturbing reports have emerged in recent months from Fallujah, Iraq, about the skyrocketing rates of birth defects and cancer, 
which are being blamed on DU-laced bombs and munitions used by US and
British forces during a brutal coalition assault on the city in 2004.
Iraqi human rights officials are reportedly planning to file a lawsuit.

DU is a dense metal added to munitions and bombs to
pierce tanks and armor, and the military seems to chose unrestricted use
of the radioactive substance over its soldiers' safety. Sullivan told
Truthout that original medical tests ordered in a 1993 memo, which also
called for personnel to be trained in dealing with contaminated
equipment, were canceled after a training video scared soldiers.
"It was pulled after [the training video] was seen by
some soldiers who became upset when they saw soldiers in moon suits
holding Geiger counters, and the military realized that the training
could present a problem in the battlefield where soldiers need to
disregard exposure issues while trying to kill the enemy," Sullivan
said.
Sullivan said that the DU "follow-up" program the VA
consistently references was inadequate as it consisted of sporadic
studies on only a small fraction of estimated 400,000 veterans exposed
to the radioactive heavy metal.
"The VA does not listen to expert scientists. The VA
does not even listen to Congress," Sullivan said in his testimony. "Two
decades of inaction have already passed. Gulf War veterans urgently want
to avoid the four decades of endless suffering endured by our Vietnam
War veterans exposed to Agent Orange."
Sullivan said it took 40 years and an act of Congress
to fund and sanction independent studies that proved the VA was
responsible for providing benefits to soldier suffering from Agent
Orange-related diseases.
The VA now recognizes that exposure to Agent Orange,
an herbicide sprayed across Vietnam to kill foliage and expose guerrilla
fighters, has plagued veterans with several deadly diseases and disorders.
VCS also advocated for the research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that became the foundation of new PTSD rules, making it easier for veterans to receive benefits.
Last week, the VA announced $2.8 million worth of
research on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses, a sum Sullivan called
"paltry." A VA press release announcing the research does not mention DU.
The release references a recent Institute of Medicine report that
identified the quarter million veterans affected by various symptoms
associated with Gulf War illness, which "cannot be ascribed to any
psychiatric disorder and likely result from genetic and environmental
factors, although the data are not strong enough to draw conclusions
about specific causes."
Popular medical science holds that kidney damage is
the primary health problem associated with exposure to high amounts of
DU. The heavy metal is 60 percent as radioactive as natural uranium, and
is also linked to lung cancer in some cases and leukemia in even fewer
cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Some critics have claimed that the WHO and governments have suppressed links between DU and cancer.
The debate over the use of DU in conventional warfare
will rage on as the Fallujah fallout continues, but according to
Sullivan, there is only one way for thousands of Gulf War veterans at
home to know the truth and receive the relief they deserve.
"After 20 years of waiting, we refuse to wait on more
empty promises from VA. The first step is for Secretary Shinseki and
Chief of Staff Gingrich to immediately clean house of VA bureaucrats who
have so utterly and miserably failed our veterans for too long," said
Sullivan, vowing to petition Congress if the VA refuses to respond. "Our
waiting must end now."

Kremlin-sponsored think tank draws up report proposing Russia's integration into NATO

MOSCOW: The Institute of Contemporary Development (INSOR), a leading Russian think tank, has drawn up a report outlining positive scenarios of development of relations between Moscow and NATO, including Russia's accession to the alliance.

A report referred to by www.gazeta.ru, which, according to its information, had been passed to the presidential secretariat, identifies such scenarios as Russia's institutional integration into the alliance (INSOR for the first time allowed for such a possibility in its February report entitled 'The Image of Desirable Tomorrow'), 'an alliance with the alliance', which implies Russia's accession to NATO based on a bilateral strategic security treaty, and the establishment of a coordinating council of international organizations.

"An alliance option could be integrated in a new treaty on European security already proposed by Medvedev," the website quoted INSOR chairman Igor Yurgens as saying.

Integration with NATO could be pursued within a coordinating council that could consolidate not only NATO but also other international organizations, such as the European Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Alexander Nikitin, a professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and co-author of the report, told www.gazeta.ru.

"Among other steps that could be taken in the near future, Nikitin talks about transition to practical interaction on the Afghan-Tajik border region and joint training of peacekeeping operations (he mentions the international community's helplessness in preventing ethnic massacre in Kyrgyzstan earlier this year, despite the fact that CSTO and NATO military units were stationed near the confrontation center," it says.

The article quoted Yurgens as saying that, "in writing the report, we proceeded from the feeling that the president is prepared for closer relations with the West. We will try to stir the audience."

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is the chairman of the INSOR supervisory board.
