JNIM’s military efforts are focused on a wide range of adversaries, including international, regional, and local forces, as well as non-state armed groups, including pro-government militias and rival jihadist militants such as IS Sahel. Characteristic of JNIM’s warfare, the group’s activities have gradually increased in frequency, scope, and geographic reach as it steadily expanded its military operations throughout the region. It maintains a high operational tempo that outpaces its adversaries and competitors — JNIM has engaged in nearly as much violent activity as all other key actors in the region combined.

Jöttnar Co-founder Thomas Kelly featuring in the latest YouTube film by Simon Jeffries and James Malone (Palpa Films)... Revealing and exploring the relatively unknown but elite military branch that Tommy served in for 10 years. The military branch is a small, specialist organisation of approx 80 individuals within the Royal Marines. They have an expertise in mountain and cold weather warfare, as well as surveillance, sabotage and reconnaissance. It has its origins in WW2 where it was formed to develop a range of what became known as vertical assault techniques.  The forebears of today’s branch trained to covertly scale the sea cliffs of the occupied European coastline, enabling follow-on British commandos to strike seemingly impregnable targets.     The Cornish sea cliffs were among their training grounds.     After the war, their remit expanded beyond just the coastal cliffs to include specialisation in mountain and arctic warfare, as well as reconnaissance.  And so over time, the branch has become the enabler for the wider Royal Marines to operate in mountainous and cold weather environments, and to act as the commando brigade’s eyes and ears on the battlefield.     The Falklands War, and more recently the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq give examples of both its reconnaissance and surveillance function, as well as its capability for direct strike operations.     Training & Selection     It’s a technical, specialist role and one which is fundamentally anchored in the most hostile of environments and terrain: the mountains.  Because members of the branch operate in small teams and outwith the protective and resource bubble of the commando brigade, a huge emphasis on resilience, initiative and an ability to operate independently is placed on its members.       Because of this, the selection course is nine months long and encompasses the Scottish Highlands, the Norwegian arctic and the Cornish sea cliffs.  The course is renowned for its arduousness and the consequently high attrition rate. There aren’t many candidates still standing at the end, but those that are go on to occupy a special place within the Royal Marines... Watch now to reveal exactly who and what this branch are. Full video on The Natural Edge YT channel. Video link in Simon's post comments below.

We have demonstrated the capabilities of the future European Strategic Command and Control System during the first real military exercises carried out by the #EU. The system was deployed on the Spanish Navy’s Juan Carlos I aircraft carrier and it exchanged real-time data with the command center set up in Brussels to demonstrate the benefits that this technology can bring to the planning of a mission as large as #MILEX23. 🔗https://bit.ly/3u3BRQS #Defence European Defence Fund Ministerio de Defensa Armada
