US Foreign Police Advising
US Foreign Police Advising
Foreign assistance in policing is not a new phenomenon, but often we fail to consider the past, while planning for the future. Since 1989, the role of the US in several stability operations has increased, such as: Panama (1989), Somalia (1992), Haiti (1994, 2004), Bosnia (1995), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001), and Iraq (2003). Additionally, US military and civilian organizations have been used to rebuild military and police forces and to provide logistics to international forces (El Salvador, 1991; East Timor, 1999). With the intention of avoiding past mistakes in future stability activities, we have endeavored to capture the lessons from Vietnam policing development. The operational environment in Vietnam was similar to Afghanistan and Iraq, in that police development was initiated during the conflict, in a dangerous environment that was difficult for civilian development actors to work in, thus requiring a large military police advising contingent. Police advising in what was then RoV also incorporated USAID and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) advisors, as well as those from other countries, but that is beyond the scope of this anthology of lessons learned. The lessons derived from the US intervention in Vietnam have important implications for foreign advising today and in the future.

Exchange Flows Between the Tahoe Keys Embayments and Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada
Semi-enclosed lacustrine embayments connected to large lakes can have significant affects on littoral zone and basin-wide limnological processes. Exchange flow between a semi-enclosed embayment and a large lake can transport water quality constituents to and from the embayment and the nearby littoral zone of a lake. In this research, channel exchange between a large lake and two semi-enclosed embayments was investigated. Baroclinic (density-driven flow) and barotropic (pressure-driven flow) forces were evaluated as mechanisms of channel exchange. Basin residence times were estimated to approximate the time-scale at which channel exchange occurs within each basin. Research was conducted at two heavily utilized semi-enclosed embayments, the Tahoe Keys Marina and Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (Tahoe Keys), located at the southern end of Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada). Lake Tahoe, historically recognized for its oligotrophic status and exceptionally clear blue water, has experienced a notable decline in water quality since the 1960s. Key factors affecting lake water quality include increased sediment loads from erosion, runoff and stream inflows carrying fine sediment, excessive algal growth, and a rise in invasive plant and fish species. Many of these factors originate and are most apparent in nearshore areas of the lake. Although extensive research has been done to identify factors affecting the water quality of Lake Tahoe, little investigation has been done on the effects of small embayments located along the periphery of the lake. Channel exchange between the Tahoe Keys and Lake Tahoe was evaluated using data on channel flow velocity and direction, temperature distribution along the water column, basic water quality and biological parameters, and meteorology during a 15-month period from May 2006 and October 2007. Results indicate that spatial and temporal trends in thermal (i.e. density) stratification (baroclinic forcing) are linked to bi-layer exchange flows during most months of the year. Although the data did not reveal a strong relationship between barotropic forces and channel exchange, it is possible that barotropic forces are masked by dominant baroclinic forces. The mean residence time within the area of active exchange at both embayments was estimated to be between 2-4 days during baroclinic channel exchange.
