Os documentos da participação do Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, enquanto Força Expedicionária Brasileira encontram-se em diversas instituições do País, somados aos documentos pessoais que constituem os arquivos e acervos dos veteranos. São diferentes locais com histórias próprias que mantém estes documentos. O presente trabalho tem o proposito de mapear os principais mantenedores de memória que contém documentos a respeito da FEB, assim como traçar um panorama teórico a respeito de patrimônio histórico e cultural. O objetivo aqui é deixar aparente a importância da documentação da FEB na história do país, bem como demonstrar seu papel diante do patrimônio documental brasileiro. Explora, ainda, a contextualização da FEB e seus trâmites políticos, bem como a atuação em terreno italiano até chegar a sua desmobilização. Esta dissertação possui o olhar arquivístico a guisa dos documentos e os coloca em primeiro plano, ilustrado aqueles que pontuam situações históricas ou que trazem ricos detalhes a respeito da participação do Brasil na guerra. / The official documents which document the Brazilian participation in the IIWW as Brazilian Expeditionary Force are spread in several institutions around Brazil. In addition to the officials documents we also have the personal archive from the veterans. This paper will try to identify the main institutions which keep the documents about Brazilian Expeditionary Force. It will also give a theoretical, cultural and historical panorama about this time. The main goal of the paper is to show how important the documents are to Brazilians history and the importance as a document. Lately it will try to show the political context and performance from Brazilian Expeditionary Force, the time in Italy and the demobilization. This paper was written with an archivist point of view, where the documents come in the first position. You can find several pictures which are very important examples about Brazilian performance during the IIWW.

This study examines the five American Legion battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force formed in 1915 specifically to recruit American volunteers for the Canadian overseas contingent of the First World War. This study reviews the organization of Canada's militia and Anglo-American relations before examining the formation of the American Legion, the background of its men, and the diplomatic repercussions it sparked. This study is based largely on material in the Public Archives of Canada including war records and the personal papers of several participants. During its brief existence, the American Legion precipitated constitutional, diplomatic, and political problems. The issues the American Legion raised were mostly solved by America's entry in the war. The episode hastened the maturity of Canada as a nation.

This thesis examines the influence of the Boer War 1899 – 1902 upon tactics and training in the regular British Army 1902 – 1914. The work argues that several key lessons drawn from South Africa became the tactical cornerstones for infantry, artillery and cavalry throughout the pre-First World War period and shaped the performance of the B.E.F. during the early battles of 1914. The experience of combat against well armed opposition in the Boer War prompted the British Army to develop improved tactics in each of the three major service arms. For example, infantry placed new emphasis on dispersion and marksmanship; cavalry improved their dismounted work and reconnaissance skills; and artillery adopted methods of concealment and strove to improve accuracy and co-ordination. Across the army as a whole, the experience of combat lead to an overall downgrading of the importance of drill and obedience, replacing it instead with tactical skill and individual initiative. In addition, the thesis also examines the impact of the Boer War upon overall British Army doctrine and ethos. The process of reform prior to the First World War was marked by wide ranging debates upon the value of the South African experience, and not all lessons drawn from the conflict endured, with tactical restructuring being further complicated by changes of government and financial restrictions. Nevertheless, key lessons such as dispersion, marksmanship, concealment and firepower were ultimately retained and proved to be of great value during initial clashes against the Germans in 1914. Additionally, the Boer War caused the British to place new emphasis upon overall training of the individual, allowing advanced tactical skills to be inculcated more easily than had been possible in earlier years. However, the short duration of the conventional period of the Boer War meant that there was less opportunity to derive operational lessons for future employment. Furthermore, the colonial policing role of the British Army and the likelihood of small scale deployments meant that developing an operational doctrine was of less immediate value than ensuring flexibility and tactical skill. This meant that the British Army took a somewhat skewed developmental path in the 1902 – 1914. The process of reform ultimately produced a highly adaptable force that was tactically skilled, but which was ill-prepared for the operational complications posed by large scale deployment. While the Boer War was the principal factor in driving reform during the 1902 – 1914 period, there were additional influences at work, including examples from the Russo-Japanese War 1904 – 1905 and various ideas drawn from the armies of the continent. However, this thesis argues that while these outside influences contributed to ongoing debate, they did not offer any particular fresh ideas and were therefore of less importance than the Boer War in shaping British Army development.

This dissertation examines the five battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force designated as the American Legion. Authorized in Canada between 1915 and 1917, these units were formed to recruit volunteers from the United States to serve in the Canadian Overseas Contingent during the First World War. This work reviews the organization of Canada’s militia and the history of Anglo-American relations before examining the Canadian war effort, the formation of the American Legion, the background of its men, and the diplomatic, political, and constitutional questions that it raised. Much of the research focuses on the internal documents of its individual battalions (the 97th, 211th, 212th, 213th and 237th) and the papers of Reverend Charles Bullock now housed at the Public Archives of Canada. Documentation for the diplomatic furor the American Legion caused comes largely through the published diplomatic documents, British Foreign Office records held at the Public Record Office at Kew, and United States Department of State files at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. The most useful sources for American Legion correspondence are the Beaverbrook papers held at the House of Lords Record Office, the papers of Canadian Prime Minister Sir Robert Laird Borden, and those of the Governor-General, the Duke of Connaught found in the Public Archives of Canada. During its brief existence the American Legion precipitated diplomatic and political problems in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Dominion of Canada. Among the issues raised by the controversy surrounding the American Legion were: the relationship between the dominion government in Canada and the British government; the structural problems of imperial communications; the rise of a Canadian national identity and the desire for greater autonomy; and, the nature of citizenship and expatriation. This dissertation is also a long overdue account of the thousands of United States citizens who left their homes and families to join the American Legion in order to fight another country’s war.

This thesis is an investigation that combines historical research into military records and genealogy in the examination of the brief military career and death in courageous circumstances of George P. Cole. It also considers the policies of the U.S. military as regards battlefield treatment of deaths, immediate burial and subsequent repatriation of the remains. The author draws upon family records, official government reports and the recollections of the friends and superiors of the deceased.

In an urban, low-achieving district in the northeastern United States, a small school has adopted the Expeditionary Learning (EL) philosophy and pedagogical approaches to instruction. Between the academic years of 2012-2016 state-assessed student achievement scores were less than proficient and implementation reviews revealed that the school made little to no improvement in the core practice category of instruction over 4 years of EL implementation. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to answer guiding questions by examining 12 teachers' perceptions regarding EL instruction as a core practice and element of the annual implementation review, and the impact of EL instruction on student achievement. The study was guided by the EL instructional subcomponents. Using purposeful sampling, data were collected from questionnaires administered to 12 full-time EL teachers. Semistructured interviews and classroom observations were conducted with 3 of the 12 EL teachers. Thematic data analysis followed an open coding process to identify emergent themes. The findings revealed: (a) a relationship between confidence levels of teaching EL instruction and experience, (b) existing gaps in knowledge of instructional subcomponents, (c) variability in implementation of subcomponents, (d) full instructional implementation influenced by time constraints/professional development, (e) existing gaps in teachers' knowledge of implementation review driven goals, (f) professional development related to the implementation review, and (g) student academic achievement impacted by EL instruction. The study and project have implications for positive social change through guidance into improved instructional practice and higher student achievement.

<p>Försvarsmaktens förändring genom reformarbetet mot ett insatt insatsförsvar, har lett till ett fokus mot delvis nya uppgifter. Expeditionära operationer är en sådan uppgift, som innebär förändrade krav och förmågor på materiel och personal. Problemet, som uppsatsen vill belysa, är att vid planering och genomförande är taktiska uppgifter i operationsområdet dimensionerande i för hög grad. På det viset läggs inte tillräcklig kraft på hur förbandet ska komma på plats och hur bäst förutsättningar för uthållighet ska säkerställas över tiden. Det är därför angeläget att en noggrann analys genomförs i planläggningsskedet, så att egna kritiska sårbarheter kan identifieras.</p><p>Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka kritiska sårbarheter som är tydligast ur ett logistiskt perspektiv, vid en vald expeditionär operation. Innebörden är att identifiera de kritiska sårbarheterna som uppstod och de som skulle ha kunnat påverka den expeditionära operationens målsättning.</p><p>Den expeditionära operationen som behandlas är den svenska insatsen i Tchad 2008. Analysverktyget som används för att genomlysa den är en operationalisering av Milan Vegos operationella faktorer tid, rum och styrka.</p><p>Resultatet pekar på tre områden som kritiska sårbarheter. De identifierades vid deployering och redeployering, inom hälso- och sjukvården samt av att förbandet inte klarade att hantera den omfattande mängden materiel och förnödenheter.<strong></strong></p> / <p>The Swedish Armed Forces have, as a consequence of the transformation, focused on partly new tasks. Expeditionary operations are one of these tasks, which denote changed demands on equipment and necessary competence of the personnel. The problem this study will try to clarify is the risk within focus too much on the tactical task in the area of operations. In that way the planning doesn't evaluate the needs in its entirety. To overlook details in the deployment and the endurance in the area could create critical vulnerabilities already in the planning of the operation.</p><p>The purpose of this study is to investigate the most obvious critical vulnerabilities, in a logistic perspective, during a chosen expeditionary operation. Both to identify the critical vulnerabilities arisen and those which could have had an affect on the aim of the expeditionary operation.</p><p>The expeditionary operation is the case-study of the Swedish participation in EUFOR Chad/CAR 2008. The tool that is used to analyze the case-study is the author's interpretation of Milan Vegos operational factors time, space and force.</p><p>The result of the study shows three areas as critical vulnerabilities. They were identified at deployment and redeployment, within the medical service and that the force couldn't manage to deal with the amount of equipment and supplies</p>

<p>Under 2008 inleddes ett arbete med att utarbeta ett koncept för expeditionär operativ förmåga. Detta mynnade ut i ett analytiskt koncept som är början på ett långsiktigt arbete för att forma Försvarsmakten att möta framtidens krav i en alltmer komplex omvärld. Expeditionär förmåga är tankesättet som ska få oss att bli mer framgångsrika i dels vårt deltagande i internationella insatser världen över men också i vår beredskap på hemmafronten. Innan och parallellt med detta arbete deltog Sverige i flera insatser styrkans karaktär kan liknas vid en expeditionär styrka. Konceptutvecklingen av det analytiska konceptet fortskrider och kommer att pågå under flera år framåt. Sverige kommer att sätta upp och delta i expeditionära styrkor vare sig landet förbereder sig för det eller inte. Denna uppsats bryter ner det analytiska konceptet till vilket samband som krävs till och från en expeditionär styrka, tar avstamp i de erfarenheter som finns från genomförda expeditionära insatser och diskuterar vilken expeditionär sambandsförmåga Sverige har idag och vad som bör utvecklas i framtiden.</p> / <p>During 2008 a work with developing a concept for expeditionary capabilities began. This resulted in an analytical concept which is the beginning of a long-range work to shape the Swedish Armed Forces to meet the future demands in an more and more complex world. Expeditionary Capability is the mindset that will ensure our success in participating in international coalitions all over the world but also in the readiness of the domestic frontier. Before and parallel with this work Sweden participated in several coalitions that can be looked upon as a expeditionary force. The Concept Development of the analytical concept continues and will do so the upcoming years. Sweden will build up and participate in expeditionary forces disregarding how the nation prepares for it. This essay breaks down the analytical concept into which communication that is required from and to a expeditionary force, take-off from the experiences available today from recent expeditionary coalitions and discuss which expeditionary communication capability Sweden has today and what should be developed in the future. The conclusion is that preparations and plans must be thorough, the equipment must be transportable and the way to communicate must cover all parts of the world.</p>

<p>The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors affecting the experience transfer at the rotation of the missions. This is to identify the respective influences are inhibitory factor, which contributes to a less efficient transfer, or if it contributes to a more efficient handover. The method used for the production of this paper is a qualitative case study of squad leaders who have done service in Kosovo or Afghanistan. Through interviews with focus on the transfer of experience, both on individual and organizational level, the factors that affect are being identified. The model used is expressed in a general perspective, where each factor is categorized as inhibitory or contributing to success, and if it appears on an organizational or individual level. The results show that there are several factors that contribute to an effective transfer of experience. Factors as social skills and instructors with international experience are important for an efficient transfer. Less contributing factors among others are lack of motivation and time constraint.</p>
