Special forces have always captured the imagination of the world. This comes as no surprise, as there is a lot of literature and movies on special forces available. The terror attacks on 11 September 2001 in the United States of America, and the subsequent declaration by George W. Bush of a Global War on Terrorism, has brought the special forces of the United States and other Western powers out of the shadows and into the limelight as the force of choice to combat the new security threat. It also focussed the international concern on the security threats of ungoverned spaces, failed states, and the use of terror. This in turn created a merging of failed states and counter-terrorism agendas, which resulted in a powerful new framework for humanitarian actors. Third party interventions in the form of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), to mention but one example, appeared. The subsequent deployment of European special forces to Mali in 2013 as part of MINUSMA was in an effort to restore constitutional order to the Malian government. The mission is still ongoing and thus relevant as a case study to relate the role of special forces to peace missions. The aim of the article is to explore the role of special forces in peace missions, using the role of European Special Forces in MINUSMA as case study.
特种部队一直吸引着全世界的目光。这并不奇怪,因为有很多关于特种部队的文学和电影。2001年9月11日发生在美国的恐怖袭击,以及乔治·w·布什随后宣布的全球反恐战争,使美国和其他西方大国的特种部队走出阴影,成为打击新安全威胁的首选力量,成为人们关注的焦点。它还把国际社会的关注集中在不受管制的地区、失败的国家和使用恐怖主义的安全威胁上。这反过来又导致了失败国家与反恐议程的融合,从而为人道主义行动者形成了一个强有力的新框架。仅举一个例子,出现了以联合国马里多层面综合稳定特派团(马里稳定团)形式进行的第三方干预。随后,欧洲特种部队于2013年作为马里稳定团的一部分部署到马里,旨在恢复马里政府的宪法秩序。该特派团仍在进行中,因此可作为将特种部队的作用与和平特派团联系起来的个案研究。本文的目的是探讨特种部队在和平任务中的作用,以欧洲特种部队在马里稳定团的作用为案例研究。

Russian Para-Military Operations in Africa: The Wagner Group as a De Facto Foreign Policy Instrument 俄罗斯在非洲的准军事行动:瓦格纳集团事实上的外交政策工具
Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.5787/51-1-1403

As a Russian private military company, the Wagner Group has become an increasingly significant instrument in the Kremlin’s foreign policy toolkit. Wagner can even be described as a quasi-state actor and a proxy institution of the Russian state. It has a footprint across the globe, but its operations have especially been mired in controversy on the African continent. In Africa, Russia has sought to expand its geo-political influence and accordingly challenges Western influence on the continent. What is of particular interest is that Wagner’s operations are conducted in resource-rich and fragile African states where insecurity or conflict prevails. In view of the above, the study on which this article reports, examined the Wagner Group as a foreign policy instrument of the Russian government. The discussion commences with a background section on instruments of foreign policy, followed by an overview of Wagner’s activities worldwide, and particularly in Africa. Wagner’s operations in four African states are specifically analysed, namely Libya, the Central African Republic, Sudan, and Mali.
作为一家俄罗斯私营军事公司,瓦格纳集团已成为克里姆林宫外交政策工具箱中越来越重要的工具。瓦格纳甚至可以被描述为俄罗斯国家的准国家行动者和代理机构。它的足迹遍布全球,但其业务在非洲大陆尤其陷入争议。在非洲,俄罗斯寻求扩大其地缘政治影响力,从而挑战西方在非洲大陆的影响力。特别令人感兴趣的是,瓦格纳的行动是在资源丰富而脆弱的非洲国家进行的,那里不安全或冲突盛行。鉴于此,本文报告的研究考察了瓦格纳集团作为俄罗斯政府的外交政策工具。讨论以关于外交政策工具的背景部分开始,接着概述瓦格纳在世界各地,特别是在非洲的活动。具体分析了瓦格纳在四个非洲国家的业务,即利比亚、中非共和国、苏丹和马里。

Perceived Barriers Affecting Adherence to Healthy Eating and Exercise Guidelines among Obese Active-Duty Military Personnel of the South African National Defence Force 影响南非国防军肥胖现役军事人员遵守健康饮食和运动指南的认知障碍

The World Health Organization defines overweight and obesity as an excessive or a disproportionate accumulation of body fat that impairs health. The South African military community is a subset of the general population, and is not exempt from the effects of overweight and obesity. Military recruitment and operational preparedness are directly affected by obesity as it affects members’ physical fitness, overall health, and capacity to perform duties optimally. The South African Military Health Services uses a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment and prevention of obesity and related conditions. Assessing perceived barriers to physical activity and healthy eating within the military environment could contribute to the development of effective and relevant programmes to address weight management and mitigate the health consequences of obesity. The current cross-sectional study was conducted in Bloemfontein, and comprised 58 randomly selected active-duty military personnel diagnosed with obesity, who completed a self-administered questionnaire. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the association between continuous data by calculating the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Analytical statistics, namely the independent T-test or analysis of the variance, was used to compare mean values among groups. The five items identified as barriers to healthy eating habits were liking food too much, difficulty controlling cravings, staying motivated, perceiving healthy food to be expensive, and a lack of will power. The five items identified as barriers to physical activity were a lack of will power to get started, social activities that do not include physical activity, a lack of physical training centres and shower facilities at work, no motivation to stick to a plan for healthy eating, and being too busy. Factors related to the military environment did not affect perceived barriers. A multidisciplinary and coordinated approach might enable the target population to attain better health outcomes, as the identified barriers were related to social and environmental factors and perceptions of self-efficacy. Further investigation into the enablers and motivators of behaviour change in this population would shed more light on addressing the apparent lack of motivation that persists among active-duty military personnel.
世界卫生组织将超重和肥胖定义为身体脂肪过多或不成比例的积累,损害健康。南非军人群体是普通人群的一个子集,并不能免于超重和肥胖的影响。肥胖会直接影响征兵和作战准备,因为它会影响成员的身体健康、整体健康和最佳履行职责的能力。南非军事卫生服务处采用多学科方法治疗和预防肥胖及相关病症。评估军事环境中妨碍身体活动和健康饮食的已知障碍,可有助于制定有效和相关的方案,解决体重管理问题,减轻肥胖对健康的影响。目前的横断面研究是在布隆方丹进行的,随机选择了58名被诊断为肥胖的现役军人,他们完成了一份自我管理的问卷。相关分析通过计算Pearson相关系数来研究连续数据之间的相关性。分析统计,即独立t检验或方差分析,用于比较组间均值。被确定为健康饮食习惯障碍的五个项目是:太喜欢食物、难以控制食欲、保持动力、认为健康食品很贵、缺乏意志力。被确定为妨碍体育锻炼的五个因素是:缺乏开始锻炼的意志力、不包括体育锻炼的社交活动、工作场所缺乏体育训练中心和淋浴设施、没有坚持健康饮食计划的动力以及太忙。与军事环境有关的因素并不影响感知到的障碍。多学科和协调的方法可能使目标人群获得更好的健康结果,因为所确定的障碍与社会和环境因素以及对自我效能的看法有关。对这一群体中行为改变的促成因素和激励因素进行进一步调查,将更有助于解决现役军事人员中持续存在的明显缺乏动力的问题。

Swans of the 70s: The First Women of the South African Navy’s Permanent Force 70年代的天鹅:南非海军常备部队的第一批女性
Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.5787/51-1-1405

The service of women in the South African Navy and its predecessors can be divided into three distinct historical periods. Firstly, there was the service of the so-called Swans with the South African Naval Forces during the Second World War, followed by the service of women in the Navy’s Permanent Force from 1972 with the South African Defence Force, and lastly, their employment in the Navy since 1994 when a new democratic dispensation saw the establishment of the South African National Defence Force. While the first and last eras mentioned above have received a good measure of attention in academic writing, the second has not. This article attempts to provide much-needed focus on a neglected but important era in our naval history. It details the first permanent appointment of women in the South African Navy in 1972 and 1973, which marked the departure point of women’s service in a permanent capacity – an important groundbreaking event that would lead to expanded utilisation in later years. The article discusses their experiences, particularly their utilisation and challenges to integrate into a male-dominated Navy during the early and mid-1970s. The research methodology employed for the study on which this article is based, combined the traditional “top-down” (archival sources) and grassroots “from the bottom-up” (oral history) approaches. This method offered a balanced and corroborated view of these important trailblazing events that occurred 50 years ago.
女性在南非海军及其前身的服役可以分为三个不同的历史时期。首先,在第二次世界大战期间,所谓的天鹅在南非海军部队服役,随后从1972年起,女性在南非国防军的海军常设部队服役,最后,自1994年新的民主制度看到南非国防军成立以来,她们在海军服役。虽然上面提到的第一个和最后一个时代在学术写作中得到了很好的关注,但第二个时代却没有。本文试图为我们海军历史上一个被忽视但重要的时代提供急需的关注。它详细介绍了1972年和1973年首次任命女性在南非海军中担任永久性职务,这标志着女性以永久性身份服役的起点-这是一个重要的开创性事件,将导致后来几年的扩大利用。本文讨论了她们的经历,特别是她们在20世纪70年代早期和中期融入男性主导的海军时所面临的利用和挑战。本文所依据的研究方法是传统的“自上而下”(档案资料)和基层的“自下而上”(口述历史)相结合的研究方法。这种方法为50年前发生的这些重要的开拓性事件提供了一个平衡和确凿的观点。

The research on which this article reports, analysed corruption as a major threat to Nigeria’s internal security. Studies have examined dimensions of corruption and their effects on security in the country, but this article sets out to analyse selected forms of abuse in the operations of two security agencies, the Army and Prison Services, in Nigeria’s Ministries of Defence, and Interior respectively. The two represent military and paramilitary services in Nigeria, but they have overlapping duties and functions with other security agencies like the police, for example. Data is drawn from secondary sources for the conceptual and theoretical sections of the article. This is complemented by primary data from events analyses, especially from public hearings concerning the selected security agencies in Nigeria. A combination of the structural theory and the ecological approach is deployed for the article’s analytic frame. The article finds out that the two agencies selected for study reflect the prevalence of corruption in several sectors of Nigeria’s internal security architecture. It recommends a head-on combating of corruption which involves diligent closure of on-going cases of security breaches and corruption as well as the involvement of volunteers and communities.
本文报道的研究分析了腐败作为尼日利亚国内安全的主要威胁。已有研究调查了腐败的各个方面及其对该国安全的影响,但本文旨在分析尼日利亚国防部和内政部两个安全机构——陆军和监狱服务部门——运作中的某些形式的滥用行为。这两支部队代表着尼日利亚的军事和准军事部队,但他们的职责和职能与警察等其他安全机构重叠。数据是从二手来源的概念和理论部分的文章。从事件分析,特别是关于尼日利亚选定的安全机构的公开听证会获得的初步数据补充了这一点。本文的分析框架采用结构理论和生态方法相结合的方法。文章发现,选择进行研究的两个机构反映了尼日利亚内部安全架构的几个部门的腐败盛行。它建议正面打击腐败,包括勤勉地结束正在进行的安全漏洞和腐败案件,以及志愿者和社区的参与。

The Corrupt Commandant: The Criminal Biography of Commandant Barnie van der Merwe 《腐败的指挥官:巴尼·范德默维指挥官的犯罪传记》
Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.5787/51-2-1415
Emile Coetzee
Commandant Barnie van der Merwe was a career soldier who served in the South African Defence Force (SADF) from 1934. By 1957 he had become embroiled in tender fraud and bribery in the procurement of arms and supplies for military vehicles and equipment for the SADF. His career came to an end in September 1963 when he was arrested and found guilty of corruption. His case contributed to the proclamation of the 1964 Cillié Commission of Inquiry into alleged irregularities in arms procurement in the SADF and the Department of Defence (DOD). The commission’s report showcased the intrigue in which corrupt SADF and DOD officials such as Van der Merwe played a part for the sake of self-enrichment. This study sheds light on the criminal biography of Barnie van der Merwe by indicating precisely how and against whom he committed his crimes and arguing the historical significance of his criminal career.
指挥官巴尼·范德默维是一名职业军人,从1934年开始在南非国防军(SADF)服役。到1957年,他已经卷入了为南非国防军采购武器和军用车辆及装备的投标欺诈和贿赂。1963年9月,他被捕并被判犯有贪污罪,他的职业生涯就此结束。他的案件促成了1964年成立的全国调查委员会,调查南非国防军和国防部在武器采购方面的违规行为。该委员会的报告显示了腐败的南非国防军和国防部官员,如范德默维,为了中饱私囊而参与其中的阴谋。这项研究通过精确地指出他是如何和针对谁犯罪的,并论证了他的犯罪生涯的历史意义,从而揭示了巴尼·范德默维的犯罪传记。

The Bond van Oudgeïnterneerdes en Politieke Gevangenes as a Direct and Long-Lasting Social Manifestation Related to the Internment Policy of the Union of South Africa, 1946–1985 Bond van Oudgeïnterneerdes en Politieke gevangene: 1946-1985年南非联邦拘留政策的直接和持久的社会表现

Anna La Grange
During the Second World War, the Union of South Africa implemented emergency regulations, including an internment policy, to curb anti-war efforts within South Africa. These regulations and internment policy affected one of the biggest anti-war organisations, the Ossewabrandwag (OB), and many of its members were detained during the war in internment camps. In 1946, the Bond van Oud-geïnterneerdes en Politieke Gevangenes (BOPG) was formed by individuals, mostly OB members, who were interned in South African internment camps. Using the BOPG collection that forms part of the Ossewabrandwag-archives, this article explores some similarities between the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) and the BOPG in post-Second World War South Africa, it provides a brief historical background to the BOPG, and explores some key themes and focuses within the organisation. By framing the BOPG as a direct and long-lasting social manifestation related to the Union of South Africa’s internment policy, this article constitutes a first attempt at exploring the BOPG and understanding its role in the larger picture of South Africa’s Second World War experiences and memories.
第二次世界大战期间,南非联盟实施了紧急条例,包括一项拘留政策,以遏制南非境内的反战努力。这些规定和拘留政策影响了最大的反战组织之一奥塞瓦布兰瓦(OB),其许多成员在战争期间被拘留在拘留营中。1946年,Bond van Oud-geïnterneerdes en Politieke Gevangenes (BOPG)由被拘留在南非拘留营的个人组成,其中大部分是OB成员。本文利用构成奥塞瓦布朗德档案馆一部分的BOPG藏品,探讨了“锡帽纪念令”(MOTH)与二战后南非BOPG之间的一些相似之处,简要介绍了BOPG的历史背景,并探讨了该组织的一些关键主题和重点。通过将BOPG构建为与南非联邦拘留政策相关的直接和持久的社会表现,本文首次尝试探索BOPG并了解其在南非第二次世界大战经历和记忆的大图景中的作用。

These regulations and internment policy affected one of the biggest anti-war organisations, the Ossewabrandwag (OB), and many of its members were detained during the war in internment camps. In 1946, the Bond van Oud-geïnterneerdes en Politieke Gevangenes (BOPG) was formed by individuals, mostly OB members, who were interned in South African internment camps.
