Swarming and the Future of Conflict
Swarming is a seemingly amorphous, but deliberately structured, coordinated, strategic way to perform military strikes from all directions. It employs a sustainable pulsing of force and/or fire that is directed from both close-in and stand-off positions.

"Fly Trapped In A Jar"
Of part and parcel,
So well we're already dead,
Well it's probably been said,
That it's always been said,
That,
One wing isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
To leave,
One wing isn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,
(HAHAHA HAAA HAAA HA)
I'm gonna' shake myself right out the door,
I'm gonna' take myself when it's finally over,
I'm gonna' let my own bad self take over,
I'm gonna' move my arm out with my shoulder,
And
One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,
One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,
One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,
First off Gary was on trial and drunk before we left bed,
As things got better was it hard to say that he had no idea,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around,
So we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town,
Well I was walking just a little bit sideways and you were walking sideways too,
Well I hadn't learned when a front door can be used,
Here it goes now...
We had darkened doors so we didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough it was to me really tough the ground needs to be fed,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they didn't really want us around,
So not a single one of us will ever leave town,
Here we go sir...
Our bodies were laid out,
They were laid for fifteen yards,
Well two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around,
So every single one of us fed the ground,
HERE WE GO NOW...
One wing wasn't even uhh,
One wing wasn't even enough,
Oh pardon pardon,
So well it's already been said,
That it's always been said that
We're already dead

Navy to End Tanker Convoy Duty in Persian Gulf : But Reagan Promises Arabs That U.S. Will Maintain Strong Presence There
September 27, 1988 NORMAN KEMPSTER Times Staff Writer
UNITED NATIONS — President Reagan ordered the Navy to end its tightly controlled convoys of U.S.-registered ships in the Persian Gulf on Monday, but he promised the ruler of Kuwait and representatives of other Arab states that the United States will maintain a substantial naval presence in the strategic waterway.
The White House announced that because the Iran-Iraq cease-fire has reduced the military threat in the gulf, the Navy no longer will accompany American-flagged merchant ships on every mile of their transit, although U.S. warships will remain in position to respond to any attack.
However, Reagan told Sheik Jabbar al Ahmed al Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, that the United States has no immediate plans to reduce the size of its gulf fleet. A senior State Department official said the President added that there will be "no reduction in our determination to protect freedom of navigation."
Reagan, in New York for a farewell speech to the U.N. General Assembly, also met with the foreign ministers of Israel and Egypt in an effort to revive an American plan for an Arab-Israeli settlement. But he acknowledged that his Administration has made only limited progress in the Middle East peace process.
As he was posing for photos with Egyptian Foreign Minister Esmat Abdel Meguid and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Reagan was asked if the failure to produce a new Middle East settlement was the greatest disappointment of his eight-year tenure. He replied, "I think all of us would have liked to make more progress than we did . . . but it's not a complete failure."
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the change in U.S. naval operations in the gulf was like switching from "man-to-man coverage to zone defense." He said tankers that were previously shadowed by U.S. warships throughout the 550-mile transit of the gulf now will be passed from zone to zone by naval ships that will keep in close radio communication and will be prepared to move swiftly to defend a ship in distress.
Called a Modification
Reagan described it as "a modification that will not reduce our ability to protect" ships flying the American flag, including Kuwaiti tankers that were re-registered in July, 1987, to bring them under naval protection.
A Defense Department official said tankers still will be accompanied through hazardous passages, such as the narrow Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has placed Silkworm anti-ship missiles, but would be allowed to travel on their own in less dangerous areas.
Senior Pentagon officials have made no secret of the fact that they hope to reduce the Navy's 27-ship escort armada as soon as possible without sending out the political signal that they are eager to abandon the gulf.
The Navy expects to pull one ship out shortly as a result of the change in convoy operations, officials said. At an average monthly cost of roughly $17 million, operating the escorts has been a drain on the Navy's increasingly tight budget.
Assistant Secretary of State Richard W. Murphy, the Administration's top Middle East expert, said that fighting in the gulf stopped as a result of the Iran-Iraq cease-fire that took effect Aug. 20. But he said negotiations aimed at establishing a durable peace have made very little progress, and "it would be foolish to make major changes in our force levels until those negotiations show some success."
Murphy, who attended Reagan's meeting with Sheik Jabbar and a later session with the Arab foreign ministers of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council, said the Kuwaiti ruler told the President that it was up to the United States to determine its own naval presence but "what concerns us is that the sea lanes stay open."

Planck's principle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

TIMES STAFF WRITER
WESTCHESTER — Aspiring astronaut Kristen Burton, 18, came face to face earlier this week with a hero straight out of her dreams.
“It’s amazing I got to meet somebody that has actually been up in space,” said the St. Bernard High School senior. “Just to shake his hand is incredible.”
Burton and more than 1,000 students and teachers at the Catholic school in Playa del Rey gathered in the gym Monday to hear a personal account of the U.S. space program from one of the school’s most illustrious alumni, NASA astronaut Kevin Chilton.

Chilton, a 1972 graduate of St. Bernard, co-piloted the space shuttle Endeavour to a safe landing a little more than two weeks ago, ending a historic nine-day mission. Eager to address the class of 1992 before graduation, he ducked out of debriefing sessions to visit the campus.
Wearing a dark-blue NASA flight suit, Chilton thanked the school for its prayers and encouraged students to “reach for the stars.”

‘Reach for the Stars’ : Just Back From Space Shuttle Mission, Astronaut Advises Students at His Alma Mater to Aim High
By BERNICE HIRABAYASHI
JUNE 4, 1992
TIMES STAFF WRITER
WESTCHESTER — Aspiring astronaut Kristen Burton, 18, came face to face earlier this week with a hero straight out of her dreams.
“It’s amazing I got to meet somebody that has actually been up in space,” said the St. Bernard High School senior. “Just to shake his hand is incredible.”
Burton and more than 1,000 students and teachers at the Catholic school in Playa del Rey gathered in the gym Monday to hear a personal account of the U.S. space program from one of the school’s most illustrious alumni, NASA astronaut Kevin Chilton.
Chilton, a 1972 graduate of St. Bernard, co-piloted the space shuttle Endeavour to a safe landing a little more than two weeks ago, ending a historic nine-day mission. Eager to address the class of 1992 before graduation, he ducked out of debriefing sessions to visit the campus.
Wearing a dark-blue NASA flight suit, Chilton thanked the school for its prayers and encouraged students to “reach for the stars.”
“At least then if you reach for the stars and only reach the moon, you know you’ve tried,” he said, adding that astronaut Neil Armstrong, after all, was quite happy to reach the moon.
After the hourlong assembly ended, about 50 students stayed to shake Chilton’s hand and get his autograph. Chilton answered their many questions, which ranged from “What was it like seeing the Earth from space?” to “How do you become an astronaut?”
In an interview, Chilton said he keeps close ties with St. Bernard in return for what he received there--a strong foundation of knowledge and spirituality that “made a big difference in what kind of person I turned out to be.”
Teachers had such a positive influence on him that he hopes to become one someday, he said. Meanwhile, he hopes his visits will inspire students to set goals.
During the assembly, Chilton candidly described his mission.
On the morning of takeoff on May 7, Chilton said, he was gripped by fear, not for his safety, but of making a mistake and letting down the crew and his loved ones.
But during prayer, he concluded that he could only do his best. Suddenly, he felt comforted and “ready to go.”
He said the acceleration during blastoff, which reached three times the force of gravity, “felt like a gorilla sitting on your chest.”
The next sensation was of zero gravity.
“All the dust rises off the floor, what little there is,” he said. “Pencils float off their pads.”
Each morning, the seven-member crew gathered around the fax machine to get messages from home. He was happy to find a message from St. Bernard the first morning.
He described his first sunrise from space--"an ever-growing arc of blue, with white clouds"--and said it affirmed his Christian beliefs.
But on the fourth day, the crew experienced problems in accomplishing a major mission goal--to capture and release a $150 million communications satellite traveling in a useless, low-Earth orbit.
A $7-million capture bar designed by NASA proved difficult to manipulate accurately and repeatedly sent the satellite into tailspins.
“We felt like complete and utter failures,” Chilton recalled. “It was the low point of the mission.”
Chilton described how the astronauts pledged to attend church every Sunday if they could catch the satellite. They gradually added days--Saturday, Friday--but by the final attempt, “we had used up every day of the week.”
So Chilton prayed for help from St. Jude, “patron saint of hopeless causes.” He said it must have worked.
On the third and final try, three astronauts successfully grabbed the satellite with their gloved hands during an 8-hour, 29-minute spacewalk, the longest in the history of the U.S. space program.
One good result of having so much difficulty with the satellite was that the mission received plenty of media attention, he said.
Chilton concluded his remarks by asking students to aim high when they set goals. He emphasized the importance of getting good grades, because grades are what potential employers and schools often use to make their first round of cuts among a pool of applicants.
He also stressed the value of persistence.
“We failed many times on this mission,” he said. “But we never gave up.”
The audience gave Chilton a standing ovation.
Chris, a 10th-grader wearing the school uniform of gray slacks and a white button-down shirt, said although he is not sure what he wants to be when he grows up, he plans to attend college and study hard.
Chilton showed him that dreams can be accomplished if we put our minds to it, he said. “The stars are the limit.”

(from internet transcript)
OSIRIS
Weakness is befalling the System Lords. If this tenuous alliance crumbles it will leave the Goa'uld vulnerable to threats that exist outside this galaxy. We must put aside our differences and individual struggles for power to strengthen the Goa'uld and ensure our supremacy over those who threaten our domination.
YU
You speak of grand principle—
BA'AL
But you have no official seat here.
OSIRIS
Then I ask you to officially recognise my status here.
BA'AL
What do you offer as support for your claim for position as System Lord?
OSIRIS
Nothing. I am here to represent the vote of another.
YU
Whom do you serve?
OSIRIS
Anubis.
