Francia műszaki csapatok a Dien Bien Phu-i ütközetben
French Engineering Corps at the Battle of Dien Bien PhuAbsztrakt A Dien Bien Phu-i ütközet jelentősége a kortársak szemében is nyílvánvaló volt, az utókor pedig, mint az első indokínai háború döntő összecsapását ismeri el. Az ostrom, a kornak megfelelően minden haderőnemet felvonultatott, mégis a legtöbbször a körbezárt és a végsőkig kitartó legionáriusok önfeáldozásáról vagy az őket ellátni igyekvő Francia Távolkeleti Légierő küzdelmeiről esik szó. Jóval kevesebbszer említik az ostromban részt vevő műszaki csapatokat, pedig a szakértelmük nélkül ki sem épülhetett volna az erődrendszer, és ezek az egységek is a végsőkig kitartottak. A tanulmányban a Dien Bien Phu-i ostromban részt vevő francia műszaki alakulatok és feladatkörük bemutatásával igyekszem emléket állítani ezeknek a kevésbé ismert hősöknek.
The name of Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President of the United States, has practically been tied together with the Vietnam War, which raged on during the entirety of his presidency. The Johnson Presidency could have been remembered after the numerous and admirable domestic policy steps he took, yet it is Vietnam, which overshadows his historical legacy. Both the Gulf of Tonkin Incident and the longest campaign of the Vietnam War, Operation Rolling Thunder took place during his terms in office. This latter was harshly criticised by his peers, especially from military leadership circles, thus it is worth re-examining this period of the war using now publicly available sources. This article aims to examine how President Johnson and his inner circle of advisors made their decisions during the period in question.
Knowledge of the terrain and its use are essential for successful combat. This paper highlights the importance of these facts through the deeds of general Miklós VII Zrínyi (1620—64). His efforts to strengthen the defense of Međimurje resulted in a complex defense system that actively used the terrain to its advantage, established primarily for the protection of the Kakonya Crossing. The selection of the location of Novi Zrin, its strengthening, and the construction of the Zrínyi Ditch all prove that he was thinking of a complex system, and actively used the terrain to his advantage.
A global health crisis can have long lasting effects on many areas of life, and the military is not exempt of its effects either. This article aims to highlight the possible usage of the military in various forms of emergency situations, especially in the case of the current coronavirus pandemic, particularly focusing on cooperation based on partnerships, while also highlighting the effects the Covid-19 epidemic had on the military. Civil-military cooperation (CIMIC) is a cornerstone of military operations these days, and its positive effects on military operations, especially in the struggle against the pandemic are also detailed. This study is based on the events and experiences of the first seven months since the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
