1) From Defensive Shield to the War Against Iraq
The violence in Israel commenced on September 28, 2000 following a
visit by Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and
a proclamation of sovereignty over a small hill holy to both Jews
and Muslims. Since then, aggression mounted with suicide bombers that
promoted the IDF to move into the West Bank in an operation called
"Defensive Shield". This bloody campaign was intense in
Ramallah and ended after the siege of the Church of the Nativity in
Bethlehem. Superb images of the IDF in action during the campaign,
well documented by Sam Katz.
2) Operation "Unicorn": French Forces in the Ivory
Coast Civil War
The failed coup d'etat that took place on 19 September 2002 has thrown
the Ivory Coast into a civil war. The French were caught in the bloody
coup and French forces stationed in country and nearby rushed to Ivory
Coast to defend French interest in operation "Unicorn".
Yves Debay traveled around the country with different French units
and brought us this exceptionally illustrated article.
3) 6 Jagerbrigade: Austria's Gebirgsjager
The Gebirgsjager of Austra's 6 Jagerbrigade are experts in operating
in alpine regions, therefore the brigade is Austria's core formation
for mountain warfare. High quality photography supported by valuable
information is provided by Carl Schulz.

Security Group
Sam Katz visited Dundalk, the Republic of Ireland, bordering the Northern
Ireland county of South Armagh, is known as "The gateway to Bandit
Country". Much of the explosives and weapons for a guerilla campaign
has made it into Ulster through Dundalk. The Irish Defense Forces
EOD Team is at the forefront of border security against bombs and
explosives
