		United States military officers are appointed from a variety of sources, including the service academies, ROTC, and direct appointment from both civilian status and the enlisted ranks.
		Although the United Kingdom and France are capable of projecting power overseas, the United States military is the only military with the capacity to fight a major regional war away from its home territory.

	Auxiliary Units - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Auxiliary Units (or Auxunits) were specially trained highly secret units created with the aim of resisting the expected invasion of the British Isles by Nazi Germany during World War II.
		Auxiliary Unit members were vetted by a senior local police chief (who were allegedly, according to sealed orders given to the Operational Patrols to be opened only in case of invasion, to be assassinated to prevent the membership of the Auxiliary Units being revealed.

	The Home Guard - Local Defence Volunteers
		The Home Guard was formed on 14th May 1940 after a broadcast appeal by the then Secretary of State for War, Anthony Eden.

		The Auxiliary Units were men recruited from Home Guard units to form "stay behind" guerrilla units if part of the UK was occupied.

	::home guard::
		The Home Guard was ordered to find whatever it could to defend itself and occasionally men in the Home Guard were referred to as the 'Broomstick Army', the result of being seen drilling with broomsticks.
		Local Home Guard commanders initially received little guidance from the War Office as to training and it was left to them to develop their own tactics that were relevant to their own locality.
		However, training in the Home Guard was transformed in July 1940 by a veteran of World War One and the Spanish Civil War, Tom Wintringham.

		Unit #55 of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary has been established in Powell River for many years and has provided marine Search and Rescue and Boating Safety services to the area, in cooperation with the regular Canadian Coast Guard, throughout that period.
		Unit #55 is unique in Canada in that it is the only unit in the country which regularly provides crew for Canadian Coast Guard vessels and therefore has a high level of cooperation with the regular Coast Guard.
		Unit #55 is, however, now faced with the cost of providing and maintaining all of the equipment required for its members to play their part in the stations operations.

	Home Guard Page - 5/7
		Many hideouts were constructed in the grounds of some of Britain's grander homes, as experience in France had shown that German generals selected lavish accommodation for their command centres.
		Three special Home Guard battalions were created to provide a cover for the Auxiliary Unit's activities; the 203rd in the South of England, 202nd in the north and 201st in Scotland.
		However the Auxiliaries' names were never officially recorded and it is likely that if questioned the official Home Guard would have denied their existence.

	MI5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A directive issued by the Home Secretary set out the Service's tasks and the role of its Director General but it was not put on a statutory basis until 1989, when the Security Service Act was introduced.
		In fact, it was not until the end of the 1980s that the government admitted the Service's existence, although it was hardly a secret by that time.
		Some commentators have suggested that MI5's ability, aided by high technology, to infiltrate and monitor PIRA activities was one of the major reasons for that organisation's decision to participate in the Northern Ireland peace process.

	AUXILIARY UNITS SIGNALS
		Units of the Royal Engineers were then detailed to construct these underground dugouts but were unaware of their intended use.
		Auxiliary Units were directly answerable to GHQ Home Forces and avoided contact with conventional forces.
		The story of Auxiliary Units has remained a well-kept secret for 50 years and the sacrifice that members, many now passed away, were prepared to make, unknown to their families, receiving no recognition, has now been recorded in many ways for the benefit of future history.

	U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY - MDA / OPERATION PATRIOT READINESS - RECREATIONAL BOATING SAFETY
		Before 9/11, few if any people joined the Auxiliary because they were interested in assisting the Coast Guard in maritime security activities, and the techniques used to recruit new members naturally emphasized RBS issues.
		But the Auxiliary, like the Coast Guard itself, is a multi-mission organization, and a member focusing on conducting VSCs, for example, often talks to boaters about other Coast Guard and Auxiliary activities, including Homeland Security (HLS).
		The Commandant of the Coast Guard, Adm. Thomas H. Collins, has also expressed his desire that Auxiliary resources be used to help implement the mandates of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), an omnibus Coast Guard authorization bill passed in 2002, and which significantly increase the size and scope of the Coast Guard's responsibilities.

	The Auxiliary Units (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-21)
		"Auxiliary Units" was the innocuous codename given to a force of civilian volunteers intended to carry out sabotage, guerrilla warfare and spying from behind the enemy lines in the event of a successful German invasion of the British Isles during World War 2.
