Abstract:
AbstractScholarly and popular histories of Kenya largely agree that African Second World War veterans played a central role in the Kenya Land Freedom Army. Former African members of the colonial security forces have reinforced these assumptions by claiming to have been covert Mau Mau supporters, either after their discharge, or as serving soldiers. In reality, few Mau Mau generals had actual combat experience. Those who served in the colonial military usually did so in labor units or support arms. It therefore warrants asking why so many Kenyans accept that combat veterans played such a central role in the KLFA and in Kenyan history. Understanding how veterans of the colonial army have become national heroes, both for their wartime service and their supposed leadership of Mau Mau, reveals the capacity of popular history to create more useful and inclusive forms of African nationalism.

Abstract:
The German Army is in a process of transformation for about two decades now, these concerning mainly two processes: first, the transformation from a Cold War land-defence army to an intervention army deployed worldwide; second, the outsourcing of many formerly state-army-owned services to the private sector via different forms of cooperation. The article argues that the latest ongoing “structural reform” of the German Army enforced by the conservative-liberal government has pushed the door open for the army to become a private corporation by itself.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the land relations of Kuban Cossacks viewed through the prism of normative legal institutionalization. Special attention is given to the problem of land use of kuren and stanitsa farm settlements. The author examines the peculiarities of land use of Black Sea and Line Cossacks, questions of population and development of Kuban in the XIX century. Methodological platform is comprised of the general scientific principles of historicism, objectivity, alternativeness and systematicity, which gives a comprehensive perspective upon the problem of land use of Cossack settlements and reconstructs a holistic historical picture of research. Self-containment of land relations of Kuban Cossacks remained a phenomenon of local history for a long time, and is yet to be examined in modern Russian historiography. The following conclusions were made: 1) free use of land in Kuban in the late XVIII – early XIX centuries was gradually replaced by more restrictive measures for normative regulation of land relations; 2) practice of permissive type of legal regulation developed into the replotting system of land distribution in Kuban Cossack Army chronologically define reallotment of land; 3) initial restrictions in multiple Cossack communities with regards to  the use of wild lands spread onto the use of any land, and crop lands became the first category in allocation of lands in Kuban.

Abstract:
In this paper, we expand upon our recent studies of an agent-based model of a battle between an intelligent army and an insurgent army to explore the role of modifying strategy according to the state of the battle (adaptive strategy) on battle outcomes. This model leads to surprising complexity and rich possibilities in battle outcomes, especially in battles between two well-matched sides. We contend that the use of adaptive strategies may be effective in winning battles.

Abstract:
In this article, I argue that “seeing with sound" is a fraught political process with the potential to both obfuscate and assist Indigenous claims to land. I do so by analyzing the Portland District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ 2007 sonar images of Celilo Falls on the Columbia River. I take up feminist materialist analytics developed by Native American and Indigenous Studies scholarship on cartography and refusal, and place them in conversation with the sonic geographies of Columbia River Indigenous writers. Namely, I use Elizabeth Woody’s poem Waterways Endeavor to Translate Silence from Currents (1994) to investigate how overlapping and conflicting deployments of sonic imaging play a major cultural, political, and material role in the (re)mapping of Celilo Falls. First, I present a theoretical framework that considers the role of what I call sonic knowledges in unsettling colonial visual cartographies. I use archival Army Corps’ maps and critical sonar studies literature to show how the Army Crops’ 2007 riverbed sonograms emerge from a longer context of US settler practices of enclosing land with maps and surveying water with sound. I then turn to a close reading of newspaper articles and state legislation to analyze how the sonograms take on a present political life in ways that repackage ocularcentrism and assuage settler guilt, thus authorizing ongoing US enclosure of Indigenous lands. Yet, I also bring to bear Indigenous sonic knowledges that position imaging processes as potentially antithetical to addressing questions of access to land and self-determination. Through examining newspaper interviews, public testimonies, and Elizabeth Woody’s poem, I elucidate deployments of sonic knowledge that can help us think about what anti-colonial (re)mapping practices demand of contemporary cartographic imaging processes. Attending to sonic knowledges under conditions of settler-ocularcentrism, I suggest, might assist anti-colonial feminist science studies engagements with processes of imag(in)ing Indigenous space.

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the marketing of the Women's Land Army (WLA) using archival sources. I explore how farmerettes, the name given to WLA members, used their patriotic work on the farm as a means of redefining femininity and interrogating the definition of "true womanhood." "That Dame's Got Grit" discusses how the WLA was sold in World War I and World War II. The first chapter describes the press book used to market Little Comrade, a 1919 film about a fashionable farmerette. The theme of uniforms, an idea that weaves throughout the thesis, emerges strongly in this chapter. "A Seductive Smile," the second chapter, discusses the WLA posters in terms of the pin-up genre. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the Oregon State University Extension Service photos. In all of the chapters, farmerettes struggle with crafting an image based on hard work and an attractive appearance.

Abstract:
This research is an ethnography of a British Army regiment from the perspective of women married to servicemen. Its aim is to question wives's power and positionality vis-à-vis the military institution and consider the implications for how to understand the everyday operation of military power. The project is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted on and around a regimental camp in Germany during a period when the regiment’s soldiers were also deployed in Afghanistan. As social relations are spun across multiple times and spaces, it analyses women's negotiation of presence and absence, home and away, and distance and proximity. Women married to servicemen emerge as mobile subjects, whose gendered labour and identities serve to trouble the boundary between the military and civilian 'spheres'. The research explores multiple conditions for women's encounters with military presence on a day-to-day basis, from the mandate for international migration and the regiment’s production of social cohesion, to the formal hierarchy of rank and the temporal and spatial registers of an operational tour. The analysis highlights the dependence of these structures on a military-sexual division of labour, at the same time as women can be argued to mobilise social, cultural and discursive resources to appropriate or transcend the place they are allocated in a military social order. It is in this sense that they might be argued to bargain with the terms of their militarisation.

Abstract:
This study examines the Women's Land Army (WLA) in Britain: a new, mobile, agricultural labour force of women specially recruited to assist in increasing the production of home-grown food during both World Wars, as men were called up to join the fighting forces. Its role was particularly important due to imported food supplies being destroyed through enemy action at sea, which successive governments feared might result in starvation of the nation. A review of literature on the WLA indicates that it has been a relatively little researched area in both women's history and agricultural history and the aim of this study is to begin to redress the balance. The thesis considers the introduction of the WLA (1917-19) as this provided the platform from which its sister organisation was launched in 1939. The context in which the WLA operated (1939-1950) is analysed together with the structure and function of the organisation, its relationships with government ministries and regional agencies and its concomitant redevelopment through to disbanding in 1950. The formulation of national policies at government level to set up the WLA and recruit its membership is examined and assessed, as are policies on the accommodation and welfare of recruits, their training, work and conditions of service and the winding down of the organisation. The implementation of these policies within the complex county administrative structure of the Yorkshire Ridings and Craven district is explored. This was a particularly difficult task for the WLA due to the reluctance of the local agricultural community to employ women on its farms. The WLA had, therefore, to overcome prejudice as well as new and difficult working conditions if it was to be successful. The outcomes of policies are presented through previously undocumented data obtained from undertaking oral history interviews with 32 former WLA recruits on their experiences of working on the land during the Second World War as they endeavoured to put policy decisions into practice. The contribution of the WLA is evaluated and findings from the study show that the organisation achieved its objective of placing a new and mobile female agricultural labour force on the land. Furthermore, women in the WLA, albeit from the landowning classes, participated in the making of national policy in a period when male decision makers dominated rural and urban contexts. In addition, while WLA recruits performed practical agricultural tasks consistent with traditional views on what was appropriate work for women, for example horticulture and the care of livestock, they also challenged the status quo. They undertook jobs such as fieldwork, tractor driving and the operation of mechanical implements formerly considered to be beyond the physical and mental capacities of women. The participation of the WLA in the greater mechanisation of the agricultural industry has hitherto largely been overlooked. The involvement of recruits also resulted in achieving government targets of increasing the acreage of both national and local crop cultivation between 1939 and 1944 in order to feed the country. The contribution made by the WLA convinced an initially sceptical agricultural community of its ability and commitment to the cause resulting in the WLA being operational for a total of 11 years, some five years beyond the cessation of hostilities in 1945.

Abstract:
Methods and techniques for environmental impact assessment (EIA) and development of land use management options are described. The methods and techniques have specific application in Defence estate management, and general application in other areas of land use assessment and management. The EIA methodology includes techniques for land cover and soil classification, land capability and suitability assessment. The biophysical classifications and assessment techniques are based on the application of various para and non- parametric approaches. The study area for the application of the EIA methods and techniques was the Singleton Training Area (STA) in the Hunter Valley of central New South Wales. Defence estates are required to provide a wide range of terrain and other environmental conditions to support the development of combat related tactics. The maintenance of these areas for sustainable use is fundamental in achieving both military and land use management objectives. The EIA of the STA provided a means of testing the efficiency of the methods and techniques developed in this thesis. The baseline resource inventory data used in the EIA includes land cover and vegetation maps derived from satellite digital data and soils maps derived from both conventional methods and airborne gammaradiation data. This information, together with the military land use requirements provided the basis for land capability and suitability assessment, and development of land use management options.

Abstract:
The mission of the United States Military Academy (USMA) is “To educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the United States Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the nation.” [1] In order to accomplish this mission, USMA puts their cadets through a 47-month program that includes a variety of military training, and college courses totaling about 150 credit-hours. Upon completion of the program, cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree and become Second Lieutenants in the United States Army. A very unique aspect of the academic program at USMA is that each cadet is required to take a minimum of five engineering classes regardless of their major or field of study. This means that about 500 cadets will have taken the one-semester course in thermodynamics. The thermodynamics course taught at USMA is different from others throughout the country because within every class there is a mixture of cadets majoring in engineering and those that are in other majors, i.e. languages, history [2]. Topics on gas turbine machinery have been integrated into this unique thermodynamics course. Because the cadets will encounter gas turbines throughout their service in the Army, we feel that it is important for all of the students, not just engineering majors, to learn about gas turbines, their operation, and their applications. This is accomplished by four methods. The first is in a classroom environment. Cadets learn how actual gas turbines work, how to model them, and learn how to solve problems. Thermodynamics instructors have access to several actual gas turbines used in military applications to aid in cadet learning. The second method occurs in the laboratory where cadets take measurements and analyze an operational auxiliary power unit (APU) from an Army helicopter. The third method occurs in the form of a design project. The engineering majors redesign the cogeneration plant that exists here at West Point. Many of them use a topping cycle in this design. The final method is a capstone design project. During the 2001–02 academic year, three cadets are improving the thermodynamic laboratories. Among their tasks are designing a new test stand for the APU, increasing the benefit of the gas turbine laboratory through more student interaction, and designing a web-based gas turbine pre-laboratory instruction to compliment the actual laboratory exercise.

Abstract:
Topics on gas turbine machinery have been successfully integrated into the thermodynamics course at the United States Military Academy (USMA). Because graduating cadets will encounter gas turbines throughout their service in the U.S. Army, it is important for all engineering students, not just mechanical engineering majors, to learn about gas turbines, their operation, and their applications. This is accomplished by four methods, one of which is an experimental analysis of an operational auxiliary power unit (APU) from an Army helicopter. Due to recent building issues, this gas turbine laboratory was improvised and offered as a fully digital virtual laboratory exercise. Since all undergraduate programs do not have the luxury of having a gas turbine laboratory, our experiences with the virtual laboratory are offered as an effective option. By digitally reproducing the laboratory setup, introduction, instrumentation, data collection and analysis, the virtual experience captures the essence of the laboratory. After viewing the web-based laboratory digital media files, students use one of two data sets, recorded from the data display panel in the real laboratory, in order to complete the laboratory report. While the tremendous advantage of actually seeing, testing, and analyzing the real engine cannot be denied, a well-planned and executed virtual laboratory adequately achieves learning objectives and provides students a unique opportunity to apply gas turbine fundamentals. An assessment of the virtual laboratory and results of student feedback are provided.

Abstract:
Application of advanced Nickel based alloys in gas turbine rotors has risen significantly in the last two decades. It was shown by other authors that the deterministic lifing approach may be inadequate for a range of advanced turbine alloys under certain service conditions, and that a probabilistic approach results in a more relevant physics-based predictive model for such cases. Additionally, recent changes in the engine certification and design guidelines published by the FAA, Air Force, Army and other agencies call for increased application of probabilistic analysis. Thus, probabilistic lifing models become one of the key enablers for successful design and application of advanced turbine engine materials. This paper will discuss the main elements of probabilistic lifing system development for a new alloy, including material characterization requirements, selection of appropriate modeling techniques and validation plans.

Abstract:
In 1991 under a Space Act Agreement between then Allison Gas Turbine Division (Rolls-Royce), NASA Lewis (NASA Glenn), and the Army Propulsion Directorate, a combined experimental and analytical research program was initiated to assess the capability of advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes to predict the aerodynamic performance of high-speed, high-aerodynamic- loaded axial flow compressors. Both two-stage compressors that were designed, fabricated, and tested in this study and reported upon in this paper had a design pressure ratio of 5:1. In addition, several tests were run of the first stage of each of these two-stage machines in isolation. Extensive use was made of CFD codes to support the aero-design process. The objective of this paper is to report upon what was learned from this aero- design exercise. Both experimental and post-test CFD simulation results are presented. The original build of the two stage compressor fell short of meeting the targeted aero-performance goals. The shortcomings of this design are attributed to the failure of the CFD simulations conducted in support of the design to capture key phenomena which limited the aero-performance of the compressor. This failure is not due to the inability of the CFD code to account for these key phenomena. Rather the fault lies in not accounting for them in the simulations that were conducted in support of the aerodynamic design. Finally the paper outlines the steps taken in the aerodynamic design of the second build to overcome the shortcomings of the first build.

Abstract:
A semi-closed cycle, turboshaft gas turbine engine was assembled and tested under a cooperative program funded by the NASA Glenn Research Center with support from the U.S. Army. The engine, called HPRTE (High Pressure, Recuperated Turbine Engine), features two distinct cycles operating in parallel; an “inner,” high pressure, recuperated cycle, in which exhaust gas is recirculated, and an “open” through-flow cycle. Recuperation is performed in the “inner,” high pressure loop, which greatly reduces the size of the heat exchanger. An intercooler is used to cool both the recirculated exhaust gas and the fresh inlet air. Because a large portion of the exhaust gas is recirculated, significantly less inlet air is required to produce a desired horsepower level. This reduces the engine inlet and exhaust flows to less than half that required for conventional, open cycle, recuperated gas turbines of equal power. In addition, the reburning of the exhaust gas reduces exhaust pollutants. A two-shaft engine was assembled from existing components to demonstrate concept feasibility. The engine did not represent an optimized system, since most components were oversized, and the overall pressure ratio was much lower than optimum. New cycle analysis codes were developed that are capable of accounting for recirculating exhaust flow. Code predictions agreed with test results. Analyses for a fully developed engine predict almost constant specific fuel consumption over a broad power range. Test results showed significant emissions reductions. This document is the first in a series of papers that arc planned to be presented on semi-closed cycle characteristics, issues, and applications, addressing the impact of recirculating exhaust flow on combustion and engine components.
