Better yet the JMO is holding its first MAsterclass this weekend at Cambridge University, UK. I'd give my left nut to be able to go.
Wilf's and Jim Storr's articles on dismounted combat, parachute operations, the IFV are interesting.

A blog from Kings College War Studies, separate from Kings of War, which was only id'd today by a SWJ contributor and their explanation 'What is Strife':Link:http://strifeblog.org/Quote:
Strife is a student led blog, aimed at anyone in the academic community – from first year undergraduates to professors. Our blog is focused on the theme of ‘conflict’, in all senses of the word. We combine history, literature, and philosophical approaches to politics (among other things) to try to create an informative and entertaining blog to our readers.

I criticised it lately, but it's interesting at times.
Found via an email from the BSAP History Circle, a website for those interested in The Great War (WW1)n in Africa:http://gweaa.com/
Hi all,
I'm curious if any of you would recommend any French, German, or Russian blogs on national security or politics. The blogs can be about those countries or originate from those countries, and can be in English, French, German, or Russian. Thanks!
I wrote a couple lists of German milblogs over time, but many of them don't exist any more.

Condor,
Kings of War appears to be sleeping currently, I shall ask what has happened with a friend @ Kings.
Defence in Depth appears to be the work of those from Kings based at the Defence Academy, which has always had a distinc identity.
Standby.
Condor,
Kings of War has technical issues, it is not deceased.:)

No, we didn’t fall victim to North Korean hackers, but we’re not quite sure what happened, either. Normal service will resume shortly. For the moment, we’re reading through the results of the latest round of academic league-tabling, and listening to Putin avoid talking about the collapse of the Russian currency.
Babatim is Tim Lynch, a former USMC officer who was in Afghanistan as a civilian "outside the wire" and had an excellent blog running till his departure in May 2012, alongside having "issues" to resolve. He has resumed blogging, which is a prelude to book writing. Hat tip to a SWC member for noticing.

Pithy yet excellent Afghanistan insight you won't find elsewhere.

I am a retired Marine who spent over seven years in Afghanistan doing security and reconstruction projects. I traveled to every province in the country, rarely used armored vehicles, never lived inside a base or secure compound, and made many great friends during my time in Afghanistan. For the last four years of my adventure I blogged extensively on what I was doing and what I was seeing on the ground. There are some great stories and cool pictures on this blog as well as guest posts from a few truly remarkable people. I am leaving the blog up as a resource for people to visit for a unique perspective into the longest conflict in American history.
