NAV911_170415_07.JPG: The Navy After 9-11
When the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked on September 11, 2001, the United States Navy was on watch and ready to perform the traditional role of sea control, power projection and maritime security. In the years following the attack, the US Navy [has] also been engaged in the Global War on Terror with expanded non-traditional missions. The conflict has dramatically increased the use of Special Operations (SEALS), Expeditionary and Irregular Warfare, Explosive Ordinance Disposal, Navy Field Hospitals and Maritime Security Missions. Provisional Reconstruction Teams were at the forefront of counterinsurgency efforts, while Navy Sailors took on such missions as countering improvised explosive devices, providing tactical intelligence support and training of host nation security forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Navy has placed thousands of sailors into "boots on the ground" jobs, augmenting traditional ground forces. The Individual Augmentee Program, while not a new concept, was drastically increased throughout the Global War on Terrorism. This program is a combination of both active duty and reserve personnel serving in specialized assignments that the US Army does not have the manpower to fill. For instance, there may be operational needs in construction which would be filled by Seabees: or security which would be filled by a Master at Arms; or medics which would be filled by Hospital Corpsman. Other Individual Augmentee billets include Civil Affairs, Logistics, Electronic Warfare, Public Affairs, Intelligence, command staff positions, and much more.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Trips this year:
Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA,
a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin),
New York City, and
my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona).
For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about:
"Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo),
"The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy),
"The American Spirit" (David McCullough),
"Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert),
"The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and
"The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover).
Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
