Abstract:
Obok budowy zrębów administracji państwowej jednym z najważniejszych zadań stojących w końcu 1918 r. przed polskimi elitami było formowanie narodowych sił zbrojnych – Wojska Polskiego. Podobnie jak odrodzona Rzeczpospolita Polska powstawało ono niemal z niczego i początkowo wyłącznie w oparciu o ochotników, a także o majątek wojskowy pozostawiony przez zaborców oraz o zdobycze przejmowane na polu walki i ofiarność polskiego społeczeństwa, głównie ziemiaństwa. W tekście tym autor postanowił przedstawić więc dzieje formowanych wówczas w byłym Królestwie Polskim szwadronów wojewódzkich, głównie zaś jednego z nich, mianowicie Szwadronu Jazdy Ziemi Kaliskiej. Pokazał on proces jego tworzenia oraz proces przekształcania w szwadron regularnego 2 Pułku Ułanów. Calisian Cavalry Squadron. Contribution to the history of voivodeship squadrons formed in Poland between the end of 1918 and March 1919 Apart from building the foundations for state administration, one of the most important tasks of the Polish elite in late 1918 was the formation of national armed forces – the Polish Army. Just like the reborn Polish Commonwealth, it was created virtually from scratch and was at first based solely on volunteers, as well as the military resources left by the partitioners and the spoils of war captured on the battlefield, together with generosity of the Polish society, mostly landowners. In this paper, the author decided to present the history of voivodeship squadrons formed at that time in the former Kingdom of Poland, with special focus on one of them – the Calisian Cavalry Squadron. It shows the process of forming the unit, as well as the process of transforming it into the regular 2nd Ulan Regiment.

Abstract:
The revival of the Polish Army 1918–1921The Polish Army began to form before the resurrection of the Polish state. After Józef Piłsudski took over the highest positions in the state and army, the pace of organization in the Polish Army quickened. The Chief of State treated this issue as a priority. He believed the strength of the army to be a decisive factor in the real possibilities of the state, and in Polish conditions necessary to win the righteous and safe borders and defend the independent existence of the Republic of Poland. The inflow of new volunteers meant that at the end of 1918 the number was already around 100,000 soldiers. Until then, 39 infantry regiments, 17 regiments and 3 artillery regiments were successfully formed. In 1919, the intensive development of the Polish Army continued. It was a time of dynamic development of its strength, creation of great units — brigades and divisions, unification of organizational structures of sub-units, units and tactical units. There was also a consolidation of all Polish military formations within the armed forces, and the Polish Army was transformed into a regular army. The highest strength of the Polish Army was reached just after the end of the battle in the outskirts of Warsaw, on 1 September 1920, as it numbered 943,976 soldiers. At that time, its composition included, among others: 22 infantry divisions, 3 independent infantry brigades, 9 motorized brigades, 20 field artillery brigades, a mountain artillery brigade, 20 air squadrons.

Abstract:
Introduction. The article considers the development of military educational structures of the Russian military settlement organization at various stages of their activity. In the 1810s and 1850s, training battalions, squadrons, batteries, and combat reserve units trained children of Cantonese military settlers to serve in the army as Junior and non-commissioned officers. Specialized educational institutions taught topographers, builders, doctors, veterinarians, agronomists and other training specialists to serve in the settlement districts. Methods and materials. The author explores models of developing military educational institutions on the basis of materials of complexes of legislative, statistical and reporting documents applying methods of quantitative analysis (trend models, grouping method), comparative analysis using source-oriented, problem-oriented, and system-structural approaches. Analysis. All this made it possible to trace the evolution of government policy aimed at training army personnel and noncommissioned officers based on changing historical realities (the army’s needs for trained personnel, the reform of the military settlement organization), and the results of its implementation, as well as to show the numerical corps of graduates of training units of military settlements and its growth in time and space. Results. The main stages of the development of military educational structures of settlements and periods of their quantitative growth are also defined, which resulted in the multiplication of the number of graduates for the army service. The formation and expansion of the entire educational system of settlements was carried out as the need for special-profile personnel arose in the settled regiments. In the 1820s – 1850s, new special educational institutions were integrated into it, and primary education developed along a transformed vector.

Abstract:
The article deals with the issues of mobilization of human and material resources of Kazakhstan in wartime conditions. According to the revealed data, during the war years of 1941-1945, 24% of the population of the republic was mobilized for the defense of the USSR and the Labor Army. As the analysis of documents shows, the restructuring of the national economy for war conditions was carried out from July 1941 to July 1942. During this time, more than 1600 evacuated enterprises were located in the republic, 142 of them began to produce military products. The work of all people's commissariats, as well as the transport system, was rebuilt. Light industry provided the army with uniforms and warm clothing. 12 new mines were built and the subsoil of the Zhezkazgan region was developed. Kazakhstan during the war years gave the country more than 70% of polymetallic ores, 90% of lead and other strategic products. The article also discusses the mobilization of agricultural resources. In 1941-1942 the area under crops in the republic was expanded. In addition, the article shows the activities of public bodies to provide voluntary assistance to the front, to raise funds for the construction of tank columns, air squadrons and other equipment. In the course of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that during the war years all the resources of Kazakhstan were mobilized for the defense of the USSR. Out of 1 million 367 thousand, every second Kazakhstani who fought on the fronts of the war remained on the battlefields. 700 thousand Kazakhstanis worked in the labor army (200 thousand of them were Kazakhs). Most of them worked outside the republic.

Abstract:
In August 1920 the turning-point operations of the Polish-Soviet war took place. A battle was fought at the Wkra, Vistula and Wieprz rivers, which led to pushing back the Western Front troops of komandarm Mikhail Tukhachevsky from Warsaw and breaking up of part of his forces. The same month, in the southern section of the front, the Polish Army defended Lviv against the attempts of komandarms Alexander Yegorov and Semyon Budyonny. In the fights for Lviv, the Polish troops confronted the forces of the South-Western Front, including the legendary 1st Cavalry Army, which was the main force of the Bolsheviks intending to conquer the capital of Galicia. The Polish command, having no reserves at its disposal, directed the 3rd Air Squadron of Major Pilot Cedric Faunt le Roy to fight against the „Horsearmy”. Despite the strength of even four escadrilles at its peak (5th and 6th Reconnaissance Escadrilles, 7th Fighter Escadrille and, with time, 15th Fighter Escadrille), between 9–19 August it had in fact only a few operational planes. In spite of this, the Polish crews were tirelessly performing their tasks: reconnoitering enemy forces – their intentions and composition – and, most importantly, delaying their march. In this article the author describes the composition and tasks of the 3rd Air Squadron, and the course of its fights against the 1st Cavalry Army in August 9–19, 1920. He also drew attention to the combat tactics of Polish aviators, which he analyzed accordingly

Abstract:
On 6 July 1874, the government of Alexander II published an edict announcing the formation of a mounted Bashkir squadron in the Orenburgguberniia.The modest scale of the endeavor—a squadron-sized element added little to Russian military strength—belied its historic importance. The Bashkirs, in 1874, stood at a watershed in their long history of military service to Russia marking the divide between decades of irregular frontier duty and inclusion in the ranks of the regular army. The evolution of Bashkir military formations, paralleling the course of social change, offers a most instructive case in little-studied aspects of imperial policy towards subject national minorities and their employment in the armed forces in particular. A virtually forgotten component in Russia's rich military tradition, the contribution of “native” units organized among theinorodtsyof the Caucasus, the Crimea, and Asia was indeed significant.

Abstract:
We examined the effect of leader narcissism on the change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior of subordinates and the mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX) in this relationship. We further proposed that perceived overall justice would moderate the relationship between leader narcissism and LMX. We used data from 158 pairs of squadron leaders and subordinates in 4 battalions of the Korean Army. Hierarchical regression analysis results confirmed the proposed effects and further revealed a stronger positive relationship between leader narcissism and LMX when perceived overall justice was high versus low. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

AbstractIn August 1815, Sir Philip Durham and Sir James Leith, with the help of the French Royalist Comte de Vaugiraud from Martinique, landed a body of troops on the island of Guadeloupe. After a skirmish, in which the British army lost 16 killed and about 50 wounded, the Comte Linois struck his flag and surrendered the island. Afterwards he was, along with his adjutant-general, conveyed to France under the terms of the articles of the capitulation treaty. The Commander in Chief of the Leeward Islands Squadron at that time, Admiral Sir Philip Durham KCB, and his Secretary, Surgeon John Forbes, played important roles in the recapture of the island.

Recruiting policy is the solution to the insufficient of army. The final goal is to be all volunteering as the supplement of the army resources. We used the interview method in this study to discuss the recruiting soldiers in nowadays stage. By serving the military and realize the functional details, how they make the decisions to sign the following due of service and how to enhance marketing strategy to make volunteer soldiers stay in army. The results are as follow: 1. The policy is hard to propaganda to volunteer soldiers and make them concur the policy. It’s the key factor to make the volunteering to soldier to stay in military. 2. The marketing policy lacks agents to promote and limited to the organization to result in there is no fully implications units or agent to promote. 3. Using the media of army to have all volunteering soldiers to understand the policies, and through marketing to elevate the willingness of volunteering soldier to stay in army. 4. The possibilities are the use of “new media”. These interviewees think World Wide Web is functional and acceptable forms of recruiting policy. 5.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the anomaly of Horn Island, Torres Strait, being classified a non -operational area during World War Two. It explains why this designation was wrong, and why it needed to be changed in order that the men and women who served there be accorded the recognition that they had been striving for since the war concluded. The concrete measure of that recognition comes in the form of the 1939- 1945 Star Medal. This prestigious award is for duty in an area that came under enemy attack during the Second World War, until 1993 restricted to those who served overseas. The dissertation plots the activities of Air Force and Army squadrons and units at Horn Island, both Australian and American, draws on an extensive bank of oral evidence, and focuses on the experiences of those who served there. Their histories portray what life was like at that Advanced Operational Airbase, and demonstrate the effect Horn Island service had on veterans. These are tangible demonstrations and are attested to by the fact that 60 years later the men and women have begun to return. They are being drawn back to their island of service, to walk in the steps of their youth, recapturing a past that will soon be lost to memory. Many bring their descendants to pass down their family's wartime heritage. On 26 October 2001 the 1939-1945 Star Medal finally was awarded to qualifying Tones Strait veterans, a decision that affected thousands of men, and a handful of women, who now hold the physical symbol that their wartime service has been acknowledged. However, for many other Horn Island veterans there is still unfinished business.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the Islamic State's framing of its military forces as a collective entity. Deployed alongside photographs of the warrior mujāhidīn, images glorifying the broader military machine within which they were fighting tended to manifest in three ways: pictures of battle-ready squadrons, weapons systems, and war spoils. Together, and working in harmony with the image frames described in the previous chapter, this subgenre of photo-propaganda continuously reiterated three underlying ideals, each of which was implied to characterize the essential nature of the Islamic State's military machine: professionalism; power; and supremacism. Through them, the Islamic State positioned its forces as equivalent to the standing armies of modern nation-states and, hence, a manifestation of Salafi-jihadism that was uniquely capable of fighting its enemies as equals

Abstract:
This chapter offers a reconstruction of Jovian’s rise to imperial power after Julian died in the Persian heartland. A few hours after Julian’s death, the army generals, the commanders of the legions and cavalry squadrons, as well as high civil officials assembled at the dawn of June 27, 363, to elect a successor. After the praetorian prefect Salutius had declined the emperorship and no agreement could be reached on a suitable candidate, the imperial guardsmen (protectores) put their commander (primicerius domesticorum) Jovian forward as the new emperor. He was soon accepted by the generals, high officials, and the complete army as their new ruler. Although sometimes argued otherwise, Jovian’s elevation to the throne was legitimate according to the primary sources. According to the Christian sources, Jovian initially refused to became emperor (recusatio imperii). Although Ammianus Marcellinus mentions that he was unfit for the emperorship, it is argued that Jovian’s background, his family connections (his own father Varronianus and his father-in-law Lucillianus), as well as his own military career, made him eligible for the emperorship. Nevertheless, Jovian was a compromise candidate and was made emperor not for his dynamic leadership, but in the expectation that he would work in collaboration with the senior staff (the men who had elected him) to get the army out of Persia and to lead the soldiers back to Roman territory.

This chapter analyses American naval policies concerning West Africa between 1843 and 1857, in contrast to the previous chapter concerning the Royal Navy. In particular it explores the US West African Squadron, noting the motivation to protect American commerce and resist British interference with US vessels. It paints a complex picture of the period, analysing the attack on Berriby; the Mexican-American War; the legal issues that plagued the US Army; the US Navy’s commercial goals; the American approach to the Slave Trade; and the dominance of the Royal Navy in the region. It draws the same conclusion as the previous chapter, namely that Britain and the US grew further mistrustful of one another due to their conflicting agendas regarding their commercial interests in West Africa.

Abstract:
The Mississippi Squadron, under David D. Porter, played an important supporting role in the Vicksburg operations conducted by Grant. The war ships protected the civilian steamers that funnelled supplies and reinforcements to the Army of the Tennessee, enabling Grant to maintain his position. Porter also bombarded the Confederate river batteries along the east side of the Mississippi north and south of Vicksburg to support the attack of May 22, and his mortar boats bombarded Vicksburg itself during this time. The bombing of the city produced civilian casualties as well as wrecked private houses and buildings used by the Confederate army. Porter also supported a brigade from John McArthur’s Seventeenth Corps division which advanced along the east bank of the Mississippi toward South Fort, a Confederate earthwork anchoring the southern end of Samuel H. Lockett’s defence line. That brigade, however, was ordered east to help McClernand before it could launch an attack on South Fort. The Federals literally had Vicksburg surrounded with warships in the Mississippi north and south of the city and Union infantry occupying De Soto Point west of town. Grant had the option to starve Pemberton out of the city now that storming the defences had played out.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how the Ibadi Imamate's establishment in 1913 was considered to be a culmination of three processes: (1) the British regulation and blockade of trade in enslaved people and arms into the region, (2) the active presence of British troops and naval squadrons, and (3) increasingly strident protests against what was widely considered the tyrannical regime of the British-supported sultan. The chapter looks at these policies, exploring the ways in which they were understood and acted upon according to two distinctive concepts of historical time. The first was the British understanding of progressive historicity that aimed to extend “civilization” across the region. This understanding entailed total transformation of the land and social order to leave behind the “tribal anarchy” and “xenophobic religiosity” of the past. The second was the Ibadi Imamate's, in which tradition, in accordance with Ibadi sharīʿa, was not the enemy of change but the ground on which change could occur. Historical logic was incorporated into thought and action by both sides to condition a moral relationship that brought about a confrontation of cultures with different modes of conceptualizing the relationship between religion and politics.
