THE WORLD BANK approved funding for a controversial 1000-km pipeline
that will run from 300 new wells in Chad through Cameroon to the Atlantic
Ocean. Most of the money for the pipeline will come from a consortium led by
U.S. oil giant EXXON Mobil. The pipeline's backers say it could provide as much
as $2 billion for Chad and $500m for Cameroon over 25 years. But
environmentalist groups say the project threatens rainforests, water systems,
wildlife and indigenous tribes. Human rights groups have criticized the project
because Chad has one of the worst human rights records in the world.

The United States Army has adopted a revolutionary transformation strategy for a
future Objective Force that is strategically responsive and dominant across the full
spectrum of military operations. An integral part of this effort is the Army
Transformation Wargame series which is the result of over five years of study,
wargaming, and analysis of concepts and capabilities beyond 2010. In 2000, the first
Army Transformation Wargame demonstrated that the Army Objective Force was a
highly deployable, general-purpose force that provided enhanced combat power to
meet the challenges of the future strategic and operational environments.
