This audio article explores what Engineer Reconnaissance within a Mechanised Combat Engineer Squadron should look like in 2030.

The Third Battle of the Tumpo Triangle was about to begin - the date - 23rd March 1988. The weary 61 Mechanised battalion had withdrawn, the men exhausted after 4 months of shifting about and fighting FAPLA, while their equipment was in worse shape. By 13th March the tattered 20 Brigade of which 61 Mech was part had arrived back at Rundu across the Kunene River and for the third and final attack on the Triangle, Pat McLoughlin had returned command to Colonel Paul Fouche. IF you remember last episode, he'd been sent back to the Republic to try and drum up another Brigade which he'd found difficult. So he'd turned to the ou-manne - the campers or the Citizen Force as it was known. Fresh troops were brought in from South Africa, mostly from 82 Mechanised Brigade and this would be the first time since 1984 that the Citizen Force would furnish most of the troops of the upcoming Operation Packer. When you hear the makeshift formation you'll understand that this operation was not going to be easy for any commander, however motivated the men were. The reality was these were soldiers who were part-timers, they may have been excellent as National Servicemen, but now they were back in civvie street, mentally they had to now contend with wives and children far away, they were accountants and teachers. Helping Fouche put together a viable force was commandant Gerhard Louw, the tank and armoured car instructor at the South African Battle School based at Lohatla in the northern Cape. The haphazard nature of Pretoria's tactical planning and strategic understanding of how the fight a mobile war with tanks and infantry in thick bush was going to upend another group of tough South African soldiers. The Generals who were now interfering in all decisions, along with Cabinet members, were a hindrance to the officers on the ground, at least according to their accounts. The West Bank of the Cuito River was bristling with artillery of all kinds, massed in places to provide truly phenomenal fire-power. There were batteries of the D-30 122mm guns, M-46 or 130mm heavy artillery, BM-21 122mm rockets, and BM-14 140mm multiple rocket launchers. Protecting these from the Recces and SADF forward Artillery observers, A battalion of 36 Brigade was stationed between the Cuito and Cuanavale Rivers to protect the Angolan artillery from the Recces and SADF forward Artillery observers, while another battalion from 36 Brigade had moved west of the Cuito River. Russian advisors were making a big difference by now, along with the Cubans. They were adding a great deal of skill to FAPLAs basic fighting capacity. They'd shown the Angolans how to survive being hit by an anti-tank mine by leaving the hatches of their armoured personnel carriers open. Battening down the hatches meant that the blast wave inside the vehicle had no-where to go and flattened those inside. “If you leave it open, you might get away with concussion and perhaps some shrapnel wounds…” wrote translator Igor Zhdarkin. They had taken to brewing rice vodka and the Russians said afterwards they'd listen to the Voice of Moscow, Voice of America, BBC and the South African Broadcasting Corporation - the SABC. They spent a lot of time drinking, as Russian advisor Vyacheslav Barabulya explains in the book Bush War published in 2007. They were experiencing daily bombardments by the SADF artillery and said that they'd managed to tap into the almost 100 percent proof alcohol used in the Pechora anti-aircraft system.

Soul...The Vinyl Frontier! There is quite possibly no better way to usher in the next chapter of our lives than to shake off the shackles of the previous! Trudging onwards into the unknown! Holding onto what few positives you eagerly want to prolong. Whist I make slight modifications and enhancements this week to my Vinyl Studio's, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to revisit the seldom celebrated 1990s. A pioneering period within my DJ Circuit timelines that l fully embraced after an interesting and let's use the term!"Experimental Period" that was the final third of the 1980s. From the off! The 90s laid down new/old foundations for Mother Soul to further more share her embrace once more across our Dance-Floors, The Mechanised beats of New Jack Swing were relaxed with the re-introduction of instrumentalists passionate with a new found urge to take us back to the origins of the 70s inspirational Ghetto Grooves...The Godfather James Brown graces our shores and would invite a UK Group to warm up the crowd that I would later embrace and be noted as saying out loud! the Brand New Heavies as being the best Band of the 1890s. A Golden period in every way with Rhythms laid down in a period of Feel Good that will serve as the perfect backdrop to Dance and sing your way towards better Days... That await us in 2023! Happy New Year from Soul A:M Records Vinyl Uncut.

Royal Bafokeng Platinum CEO Steve Phiri on Tuesday applauded President Cyril Ramaphosa's energy plan, which involves the introduction of new generation capacity to the grid as quickly as possible to give Eskom the required headroom to carry out much-needed maintenance on its ageing coal fleet. Royal Bafokeng Platinum is a community-controlled midtier platinum group metals (PGMs) company which owns and operates the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum mine (BRPM) and the Styldrift PGMs project, which is ramping up to steady state. “I think the President needs to be applauded. He couldn't have done it better in the circumstances – freeing up development of green energy and access to the grid, allowing people to develop and help the power situation in the country,” said Phiri during a Zoom interview with Mining Weekly. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) Royal Bafokeng Platinum, which released another dividend-yielding set of half-year results on the back of a 4.5% increase in PGM ounces to 225 500 oz, is itself moving steadily towards generating 98 MW of its own clean, green solar power, which will give it energy security and help reduce rising mining inflation. The JSE-listed company is close to completing the feasibility study for the solar plant, which will be outsourced to a third party. “We'll be consuming the power generated and the beautiful thing is that we only have to register access into the grid. I know of quite a number of projects of this nature in the Rustenburg areas, where we are operating,” said Phiri, who expects the cumulative effect of solar plants to alleviate power shortages and spur economic development in the region, “so it's encouraging”. Coming with the solar energy is also decarbonisation, which fits into work being done by the company to draw up a roadmap to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with lower diesel consumption being targeted. GREEN HYDROGEN On green hydrogen being generated on site to power mobility, Phiri said: “Hydrogen, yes, but not now, particularly since we're still ramping up Styldrift to steady state and that is the main focus at this stage. But once it's at steady state, we will bring hydrogen in in order to eliminate diesel consumption gradually.” Mechanised mining is proving more challenging than expected at Styldrift – a mechanised underground mine, with an average mining depth of 680 m. “Mechanised mining does not have a big footprint in this country, where there are very few mechanised mines. The orebody also dictates the manner and complexity of mechanisation. The mining method is there, it is known, but it must fit into the orebody itself and that is where we are finding some challenges with quite a number of geological problems, and that hampers progress towards steady state. “The other thing we are seeing quite frequently is the availability of engineering skills, especially for the fleets and that impacts on the availability of the fleets themselves, and if you don't have availability at the percentage that you require, then that impacts on hoisting. The turnover of skills is also quite high, but we're getting there,” said Phiri. Available to help with training is the test mine at Royal Bafokeng Platinum's Maseve operation. The test mine is a Mandela Mining Precinct initiative open to all mines for the development of mining skills including mechanised mining skills. Still on the education and training front, Royal Bafokeng Platinum is opening a primary school and secondary school on Friday, which it project-managed in record time and which it will also continue to maintain. Mining Weekly: What, in your view, should be the biggest takeaway from today's presentation? Phiri: One of the biggest takeaways is that we exhibited our newest black female chief financial officer, Rotshidzwa Manenzhe, the first in this company since we listed on the stock exchange. Another takeaway is that even though Styldrift is giving us nightmares, problems and what have you, we think we...

The world is changing, and so is the future of war. Nations should stay vigilant about protecting their people and territories. Combat is no longer limited to land, sea, and air; it now occurs in the digital realm and outer space. Strengthening militaries involve strengthening capabilities on all fronts: technologies, intelligence, communications, and leadership. The Indian Army is the second-largest army in the world, and its soldiers have more decorations and medals than any other army in the world. Lieutenant General, Ashok Bhim Shivane, joins us to talk about the value of five C's for success in any profession and the leadership style that leads to better decisions. He also predicts the future of war, suggesting ways that India can adapt to the changes. Finally, Lieutenant General Ashok Bhim Shivane compares the warfare rules and policies of countries like China, India, and Pakistan.

This is episode 40 and it's a special edition focusing on one of the most successful military organisations in African military history. That's the 61 Mechanised Battalion Group which first saw action during Operation Reindeer as Battle Group Juliet which was targeting SWAPOs western front at Chetequera. As you know from previous episodes, one of the takeaways from the entire operation was the need to establish a permanent conventional mechanised combat unit inside the Operational Area. By January 1979 61 Mechanised Battalion was formally named and established at Otavi before moving to Tsumeb in April 1979. It was eventually settled at Omuthiya just north of Etosha Pan while the HQ remained at Tsumeb. Joining me for parts of this episode is the former commander and founder, Roland de Vries. A big thank you to him for spending time with me outlining the rationale for the creation of a multi-service brigade.

In this episode, we chat with Diane Mather, who specialises in tunnelling. Apart from working for Inland Rail as the design manager, she is also the chair for the Australian Tunnelling Society. She has worked on multiple rail-related tunnelling projects as well as in several mining settings.   Diane was introduced to us by Michael Moore having studied together at Camborne School of Mines. She studied for a Geology, Geotechnical, and Tunnelling degree. Diane is on the podcast to discuss all things tunnelling with an emphasis on mining and how they combine and interact. We talk about the main differences and similarities between tunnelling & mining. As well as what technologies and innovation mining and tunnelling have in common. Plus, much more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Diane has worked for numerous mines as well as on other types of tunnelling projects. Mining design is temporary compared to infrastructure tunnels. Mine structures are usually easier to build because there is no other infrastructure to work around e.g., sewers. Mechanised tunnel building is a lot faster than drill and blast. Some issues need to be overcome before the use of mechanised tunnelling machines becomes more common in the mining industry. Issues that are discussed in the podcast, Tunnelling is becoming more popular because it reduces the impact infrastructure has on the neighbourhood. Often tunnels are the only practical option in areas of high-density population. Many mining industry innovations have been adopted for tunnelling. Several examples are discussed in the podcast.  Mines are increasingly using LIDAR and GIS systems to map and manage their projects. These tools also have a role in managing the relationship with the public. Mines are taking the lead in the use of autonomous vehicles. An approach tunnellers are starting to adopt. Automation is greatly reducing the risks for both industries. For miners transport of their products from the mine is a major issue. A possible solution is discussed. BEST MOMENTS ‘I fly in and out of some of the best mining and infrastructure projects in Australia. ´ ‘The instrumentation, monitoring and geological mapping that´s been used in mining have been implemented in tunnelling.' ‘A mechanised tunnelling machine is a big, long lead time procurement item.'   EPISODE RESOURCES Diane Mather - QLD Chapter Chair - Australian Tunnelling Society | LinkedIn The Australian Tunnelling Association Website - https://www.ats.org.au/ Details of ATS committee members - https://www.ats.org.au/about-us/committee-members/   VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first world to third world countries from Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

The internet is full of text, images, audio and vision and sorting through it to find specific material related to conspiracies is, well, an impossible task without enlisting some digital assistance. Rand Corporation's Bill Marcellino joins Tom Ravlic in this podcast to explain what machine learning is and how computers are helping humans discover how much material there is on conspiracy theories and in what context posts are being written. This podcast also explores the notions of truth decay and why Rand Corporation has a major project that continues to explore why people fight over what should have been indisputable fact in a previous generation. Rand's studies into election interference also get a mention with an explanation of how some of the research into the way in which Russia and other countries choose to play the role of social media provocateurs in what is already an ideological tinderbox in the United States.

(16) Mechanised Makeover by WeaponsOfMassDiscussion

The legend of the triumphal German Panzer Divisions sweeping all before them during the Blitzkrieg across Europe in 1939-40 gives the impression of a modern mechanized force, but what we rarely hear about is that behind this spearhead was the bulk of the infantry who relied upon its use of horses. So dependant upon the lowly horse were they that at its height the Wehrmacht used over 1.1 million of them! Dur: 20mins File: .mp3
