NMFS has received an application from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to take small numbers of marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to blasting operations in the Port of Miami in Miami, Florida. NMFS has reviewed the application, including all supporting documents, and determined that it is adequate and complete. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is requesting comments on its proposal to issue an IHA to ACOE to incidentally harass, by Level B harassment only, marine mammals during the specified activity.
A reprint of an article by Brigadier Aylwin-Foster published in the Seaford House Papers is presented. Here, Aylwin-Foster assesses the US Army's counterinsurgency operations based on his experiences and background.
The Iraq undertaking was, in any case, 'forbiddingly difficult' and might not have seemed as appealing had the U.S. forces not recently achieved a sudden and decisive victory over Taleban forces in Afghanistan.2 Inadequate attention was paid to planning for OIF Phase 4, including security sector Reform (SSR), arising in part, according to at least one source, from frictions in the Administration.3 The CPA [Coalition Provisional Authority] decisions to disband the senior levels of the Baath Party and the entire old Iraqi Army, thus effectively disenfranchising those most likely to resent the new order, have also attracted much criticism.

Completely void of any "shock and awe," the RAND study's seven major findings are: environmental issues can have a significant impact on operations; environmental considerations can be important for post-conflict success; contingency environmental operations differ from domestic issues; environmental effects have far-reaching impacts across operations, Army organizations, and the world; inadequate attention equals increases to cost, health risks, liabilities, and diplomatic relations; the Army needs to improve its understanding and incorporation of environmental considerations into plans and operations, and the Army has no comprehensive approach to environmental considerations, particularly post-conflict.18 Six recommendations follow the seven principles: improve policy and guidance; en...
The major organizations included the Army Staff; Army commands; Army service component commands; Army corps and division headquarters; training divisions; and TRADOC commands and centers, proponents, and staff, as well Air Force, Marine, and Navy doctrine centers. Stability and civil-support operations are more than "military operations other than war" as derived from the joint concept that characterized non-combat operations of the past decade.\n The eight chapters that make up this edition of Operations constitute the Army's view of how it conducts prompt and sustained operations on land: * Chapter 1 establishes the context of land operations in terms of a global environment of persistent conflict, the operational environment, and unified action.
