最新快報／陸軍航指部直昇機夜航迫降　人員無傷亡 2002/12/02 21:49

記者陳東龍╱台北報導

一架隸屬於陸軍航空訓練指揮部的TH67教練直昇機（編號203），2日晚間在執行夜間飛行訓練時因機件故障而於台南縣麻善大橋附近演練場迫降，由於機上教練劉明圖老師處置得宜，直昇機迫降成功，連同機上2位學員劉峰濱中尉及莊朝智少尉均安全無傷亡。

這架編號203的TH67教練直昇機，隸屬於陸軍航空訓練指揮部，基地是在台南縣的歸仁鄉，晚間在執行夜間飛行訓練時因機件故障，經過空中緊急故障排除無效後，教官劉明圖老師親自接手操作，將直昇機以近乎「自旋（AUTOROTATION）」的方式進行迫降，所幸航線正好位於可以在台南縣麻善大橋，而附近正是航指部的演練場，因此安全迫降成功。

由於機上教練劉明圖老師處置得宜，直昇機迫降成功，連同機上2位學員劉峰濱中尉及莊朝智少尉均安全無傷亡。陸總及航指部也在第一時間趕赴迫降現場處理，並成立專案小組進行調查。

CALCUTTA, India, Nov 27 (AFP) - 17:32 GMT - Washington will expeditiously process New Delhis
request for electronic sensors to check infiltration of Islamic rebels into Indian Kashmir from
Pakistan, US ambassador Robert Blackwill said on Wednesday. He said the United States would also
give India more weapons-locating radars. The Pentagon is expeditiously processing the Indian
armys request for significant Special Forces equipment and border sensors, Blackwill said in
a speech to businessmen in the eastern city of Calcutta. He did not elaborate.

Electronic sensors can detect human movement and Indian officials have said they would deploy
them along the Line of Control -- the de facto border dividing Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani
administered regions.

The proposal to deploy such ground sensors was made by US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
during a visit to India in June.

India and Pakistan have been at loggerheads since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, with
a dispute over the Himalayan state of Kashmir sparking two of their three wars. New Delhi accuses
Islamabad of backing the anti-Indian rebellion in its zone that has left more than 37,500 people
dead since 1989, or twice that according to separatists.

Both sides had massed hundreds of thousands of troops on the borders, after the December 13 attack
on the Indian parliament, which New Delhi blames on Pakistan-based militant groups.

India on October 16 announced plans to withdraw its troops from its frontiers with Pakistan but
said the build-up would remain in place in Kashmir.

On Wednesday, Defence Minister George Fernandes acknowledged that Pakistan had begun a reciprocal
process of pulling back some of its troops from frontline positions.

In his speech, Blackwill said India was leasing several additional US weapon locating radars, in
addition to those already contracted for purchase. There are been a number of breakthroughs on
defence sales that have put the United States and India on the road to a stable, long term
defence supply relationship, he said.

以『神箭揚威、奏功天外』為隊訓的六六一營，其前身為力士飛彈營
，為因應防空戰備任務，於民國四十八年元月一日奉命成立陸軍飛彈
第一營，直隸陸軍總部。

民國五十一年改為陸軍飛彈六六一營，改隸於陸軍防空飛彈六０五群
。民國六十八年九月一日改隸於六０六群，並於民國八十五年四月力
士飛彈系統汰除後，以天弓系統執行戰備。

六六一營副營長劉超文少校指出，天弓飛彈是國人自製的防空飛彈，
訓練的內容分為：新專（新兵專業）訓練、組合訓練、綜合訓練（合
戰備執勤）及系統聯合操作等四個階段，以往義務役士兵的役期二年
到一年十個月不等，扣除新訓中心的一個月入伍訓練，爾後在施以四
個階段的專業訓練，通常在人員的技術條件成熟後，這些士兵都將退
伍，所以，此次國防部招募長役期的士兵，對厚植飛彈部隊的戰力而
言，極具正面影響。

對於這些部隊「新鮮人」的照顧，六六一營也做好萬全的準備，劉少
校說，由於營所屬的各單位，駐地週遭交通狀況均甚便利，且新進人
員是以結合戶籍地分發為原則，能使志願役士兵在部隊服務時，兼顧
部隊與家庭，同時營區設施環境良好，對官兵日常生活及相關福利措
施，均能給予妥善照顧。

六六一飛彈營充滿信心轉型全募兵營
2002/12/6

︵軍聞社記者袁靖宇特稿︶國防部將從明年起招募志願役士兵，這項
重大的兵役制度變革，招募的對象是高中、高職學歷的青年，並在陸
、海、空軍編成三個『全募兵營』進行試辦，以驗證其可行性，陸軍
飛彈六六一營，以其部隊的重要性及任務特性，雀屏中選，成為實驗
單位。

六六一營副營長劉超文少校表示，該營的特性為擔任廿四小時的立即
戰備部隊，全天候監控、偵蒐敵情動態。其主要任務為提供台灣中、
北部各政、經、軍各要域的防空安全火力。平、戰時均受空軍作戰司
令部的作戰管制，依命令對進犯的敵機予以攔截。

因此，來到該部服務官兵，除了要能裝備操作外，還要能修護、故障
排除，換句話說，如果在飛彈發射的過程中，發生問題，就必須立即
處理，因此這些志願役士兵，規劃未來進入部隊後，將以防空武器系
統操作、保修等專業技能的項目為主；所以，將會要求具有大學學歷
並具備電子、電機、機械等相關專長，以期專長與部隊特性相結合，
藉以節省訓練時間，擴大他們服役的成效。

至於對新進人員訓練，因為飛彈部隊是具高度專業化技能的單位，其
訓練宗旨在使官兵能在自己專業領域上能獨當一面，讓官兵在戰備或
公餘時能依據本身生涯規劃，從事終身學習，以獲得充分的學識與技
能，利於戰備任務的有效遂行。

劉副營長強調，部隊是個大家庭，對新進人員照顧及要求的重點，著
重於使其能迅速適應部隊生活，融入團體運作。並在其訓練要求上，
以先完成基礎專長訓練、配合部隊實務完成組合訓練，再精進至結合
防空戰備的系統聯合操作。

對於有機會接訓陸軍第一批志願役士兵，劉少校說，將恪遵上級政策
指導：以強化內部管理、精實戰備訓練、落實裝備整備及照顧官兵生
活等方面執行。並朝內部管理制度化、教育訓練精實化、裝備保養專
業化、官兵服務保障化的目標邁進。以達到高素質專業化、職能化及
全民國防為目標。

（法新社巴黎十五日電） 部署在象牙海岸的法國部隊已經接獲指示，可以對公開阻礙他們完成任務的人開槍。法國部隊毛林上校告訴法國汎法電台時作了以上表示。

詢及有關叛亂團體誓言將與法國部隊戰鬥，毛林表示他已經獲得﹁明確的﹂指示。

他表示，﹁這是一種對任何明顯阻礙我們完成任務的人開火的情況，同時．．．假如我發現任何一方濫用權力的話﹂。

毛林將率領五百名官兵的傘兵部部署在前法國殖民地象牙海岸，支援政府與叛軍之間遭到破壞的停火措施。目前叛軍已佔據象牙海岸的北半部達三個月。

首批一百五十名傘兵部隊已於昨晚抵達象牙海岸的經濟首都阿必尚，他們將協助在象牙海岸駐守的一千兩百名法國部隊官兵。

尼泊爾陸軍將領與印度協商國防合作、軍購
Nepal army chief in India looking for defence cooperation, arms
NEW DELHI, India, Dec 19

Nepals army chief General Pyar Jung Thapa met his Indian counterpart General Sundarajan
Padmanabhan here Thursday to discuss defence cooperation between the two neighbours, an
official said. He also held talks separately with navy chief Madhavendra Singh and the
chief of the airforce, S. Krishnaswamy, the defence ministry official said.
Thapa discussed defence cooperation between the two countries, he told AFP.

Earlier in the day, the Nepalese army chief was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour at
the defence ministry. Thapa is in Delhi on the invitation of Padmanabhan, who visited Nepal
in May. He was also to meet Defence Minister George Fernandes.

On his arrival here Wednesday at the start of his week-long goodwill visit, Thapa held talks
with Indian President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who conferred on him the rank of honorary general.
Also on the agenda are visits to the infantry school at Mhow in central

India, the largest and the oldest military training institution in the country, and the famous
Balaji temple in southern India. Though its being touted as a goodwill visit, defence sources
in Kathmandu said Thar was in fact on a buying spree for arms for use against Maoist rebels in
Nepal.

He was in particular seeking helicopters fitted with night vision and long range automatic guns.
The Maoist rebels have been using improved and advanced long range guns to attack army and police
units, inflicting heavy casualties. India has been one of the major arms suppliers to Nepal in
the past. Some of the weaponry supplied includes two helicopters, self-loading rifles (SLRs),
AK-47 assault rifles, armoured cars and long-range guns, defence sources say.

Neither of the two countries has officially revealed details of the deals.

根據2202年12月12日青年日報報導，陸軍南部軍團反裝甲營，創下全世界首度以拖式飛彈（TOW），對海上目標實彈射擊的紀錄，命中率高達100％。
拖式飛彈原先研發的目的，主要是針對反裝甲任務，藉著光學追蹤的線導射控，進行攻擊；因此，對海上目標的射擊，僅有理論數據，並無任何實彈射擊經驗。該次操演中，配合射擊環境，布置數個距離不等的靶位，由反裝甲營發射4枚拖式飛彈，全數命中，證明拖式飛彈能不受海上環境干擾，增加任務使用彈性；未來灘頭決勝時，可配合打擊部隊火力、地形與工事，形成反裝甲縱深，更可以直接摧毀海上敵方登陸艇等目標，戰力將顯著提升。

Faith without guns on the US battlefield

IN THE KUWAITI DESERT, Dec 22 (AFP) - 04:43 GMT - In his dirty combat fatigues and dusty desert boots, Captain Stephen Hommel almost looks like every other US soldier training near the Iraq border -- except hes not carrying a gun.
If we were going into combat, I would really resent the fact that I cant defend myself, he says. But chaplains arent permitted to carry weapons.

There are several hundred chaplains in the US army, all of whom have been barred from carrying weapons since a decision handed down by the military brass 20 years ago.

So as his comrades run through massive exercises in the sand dunes of the Kuwait desert, just a few miles from Iraq to the north, Hommel spends his time not shooting -- and ministering to the spiritual concerns of the troops.

They say there are no atheists in foxholes and thats pretty much true. When soldiers are put in danger, theres increased interest in religion, the 41-year-old says.

The US drums of war are pounding over Saddam Hussein and, while the troops exude nothing but confidence, the knowledge they could soon be storming across the border is also giving them pause to think about the big questions of life and death.

You never know when your last day is going to be, says Specialist Reynaud McFadden, a lanky 20-year-old from North Carolina folded into the front seat of his personnel carrier.

You have to make yourself right with God first, says McFadden, who carries around a Bible that he consults at least every other day when he is out in the field.

The booming declarations from Baghdad often refer to the US troops as infidels but here on the ground, many soldiers say they find solace and guidance from their religious faith.

Everyones a believer here in Kuwait, says Sergeant Haile Fry, 29, from Memphis, Tennessee. Once they get scared they start to think about God. But Ive always been that way.

Hommel says not being allowed to carry a weapon is one of the hardest parts of his job, and worries that it can make him appear cowardly when he should instead be perceived as a source of courage and strength on the battlefield.

Its more spiritual and more manly to have a weapon, rather than just hiding in the back behind all the fighting, he says.

Before 1982 chaplains could not be ordered to bear arms. Since then, weapons have been a no-go for the armys men of the cloth -- a decision Hommel sees as part of a creeping political correctness that rules out any kind of absolute truth.

We see a lot of post-modernist thought, if you will. You believe what you believe, and I believe what I believe, he says.

Of course not every soldier becomes a fervent believer even when faced with the unknown dangers of Iraqs possible chemical and biological stocks, some of the most horrific weapons known to mankind.

Its not easy to think about life and death stuff all the time, says Specialist Bryan Gillette, 23. Sometimes it can hinder you in doing your job.

Hommel says that one of the most interesting developments has been the growth in the number of Muslims in the US military, and says that despite the events of September 11 he hears no anger directed toward Islam.

None at all and frankly Im surprised. I heard it a lot during the Gulf war, he says. But what were fighting is a kind of Islam that is radical and intolerant.

He says the US military has been trying to make accommodations for the Muslim believers in their ranks, and allowed a Muslim soldier some special leave after the holy month of Ramadan.

We gave him the opportunity to celebrate the end of Ramadan with some Kuwaiti families, Hommel says. But we have just about every slice of religion here. Christians, Jews, Muslims -- theyre all soldiers.

國防部在台北市長選舉前，以安全有疑慮為由，反對台北松山機場規畫為兩岸直航機場，不過憲兵司令部副參謀長陳良翰少將上午提出不同意見。陳良翰說，憲兵有能力防衛首都安全，憲兵也針對敵前威脅，令頒台北衛戍任務研討實施計畫，以反空降、反突擊為重點。

陳良翰上午在國防部例行記者會中，強調軍方有能力捍衛台北的安全，但對松山機場是否可擔任直航機場，陳良翰未表示意見。國防部軍事發言人黃穗生對於軍方如何維護台北安全，沒有提出具體的說明，但陳良翰強調憲兵能力沒有問題。

陳良翰說，憲兵司令部是台北的衛戍指揮部，針對當前敵情威脅，發掘現行戰備整備缺失，頒布台北衛戍任務研討實施計畫，以反空降、反突擊、反暴亂、反破壞為重點，以鞏衛中樞地區的安全。

陳良翰表示，憲兵擁有100多人的特勤隊，可應付台北發生的突變，憲兵有能力防衛首都的安全。

Kathmandu Post via Nepalnews.com web site in English 23 Dec 02

Text of report by Surendra Phuyal, published by Nepalese newspaper Kathmandu Post
via Nepalnews.com web site on 23 December
Kathmandu, Sunday 22 December: The government is in close contact with authorities in India
and Belgium to fly a cargo plane carrying a consignment of sophisticated machine guns to Nepal
from Kazakhstan, where the plane has remained grounded for more than a week. The plane is
expected to land in Kathmandu any time soon.

We are in close contact with the government of India and the Belgian authorities, a highly
placed source in the government told The Kathmandu Post late on Sunday night. The plane will fly
to Nepal as soon as offices in New Delhi and Belgium reopen on Monday.

On 14 December, the yet-undisclosed airliner entered Indian air space on its way to Nepal, when
civil aviation authorities in India - which encircles Nepal from east, south and west - denied
permission to the aircraft carrying military arms.

The Indian embassy in Kathmandu clarified on Saturday that neither of the two parties involved in
the arms deal - Belgium and Nepal - had sought an overflying permission from India, before flying
the arms carrier to Nepal.

The source also disclosed that an inquiry held by the government has found that the aircraft was
denied overflying permission by authorities in India, because the airline hired by the Belgian
government had not bothered to getsuch permission beforehand.

All this happened because the Belgian government had hired the cheapest cargo carrier to make
the arms delivery, he said. It is neither the fault of the government of India nor that of
Nepal. It is the fault of the airline, if not the Belgian government.

Fabrique Nationale (FN) Herstal, the south Belgium-based arms manufacturing company, owned by the
Belgian government, announced the delivery of the first shipment of Minimi machine guns to the
Royal Nepal Army (RNA) on 14 December. The shipment was due to arrive in Nepal shortly
afterwards.

The delivery is part of the 25m euro arms deal hammered out earlier this year by the Sher Bahadur
Deuba government. Under the deal, the Belgian government is to deliver 5,500 Minimis to the RNA,
which joined the civilian and the armed police forces last year to fight Maoist insurgency.

Officials in the RNA are deeply concerned that since the aircraft has remained grounded for more
than a week in central Asia, the stand-off could mean increased costs which Nepal might be forced
to cough up. But the government source maintained that HMG would not be forced to pay additional
bills. No, we wouldnt be required to make any payments - just because the plane has remained
grounded in Kazakhstan, he claimed.

The arms delivery was made after two groups of Belgian observers that visited Nepal recently
submitted their reports about the overall situation in Nepal. The report also said that the
shipment was made just when the Belgian parliament prepared to pass a new and stricter arms sale
law. The deal has remained controversial all along. In August, the Belgian government was rocked
when one of its allies in the ruling rainbow coalition protested against the arms delivery to a
country, where democracy and human rights were not very positive. The row also saw the resignation
of senior cabinet minister Magda Aelvoet.

據悉美軍專案小組在台評估我海軍陸戰隊戰力後，具體建議將烏坵的
守備任務移交給防守金馬的陸軍部隊，以求指揮時效和統一事權。以
國軍不斷評估烏坵減兵、撤軍、移海巡署等選案，美方建議的可行性
將大為升高。

國軍官方對於美軍專案小組建議將烏坵守備任務移交陸軍，以避免外
島責任區域分跨陸軍和海軍陸戰隊的複雜和混淆，不直接評論，只表
示此一美軍建議尚待研析決策。將領私下則說，我們連撤軍都考慮了
，美軍只是建議由陸軍取代陸戰隊，當然沒有困難，要研究的是不是
乾脆撤軍，除在兩岸對峙上表達善意，也削弱中共派兵襲奪的誘因，
更簡化防衛備多力分的劣勢。

美軍太平洋司令部專案小組上月底至本月初派遣三批人馬，來台針對
國軍海軍陸戰隊和要港防空，進行實地評估，初步結果，包括烏坵守
備轉移的建議。

軍方曾掌握確切情報，中共在八十五年第二次飛彈危機時，計畫以突
襲性小規模動武，警告台灣不走向台獨；中共方案包括襲擾我外離小
島，而烏坵正是其中之一。

烏坵孤懸在大陸東南沿海外，恰在馬祖和金門中間，與台灣本島和澎
湖的距離甚遠，無論台澎金馬都感鞭長莫及，易攻難守。島上設一守
備區，由海軍陸戰隊加強單位駐防，指揮官編階高達少將，實為一旦
開戰，要有孤軍死守的打算，不必期望友軍馳援。
