War Finance: A Major Part of Defense Economy
The term “war finance,” branch of defense economics, denotes a number of measures including fiscal and monetary initiatives to fund the expenditure of a war, an organized, armed, and often a prolonged conflict that is carried on between states, nations, or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality.
Such measures are broadly classified in three categories: levy of taxes, the imposed financial charge or other levy upon a “taxpayer,” an individual or legal entity, by a state or the functional equivalent of a state such that failure to pay is punishable by law; raising of debts, an obligation owed by one party (the debtor) to a second party (the creditor), usually referring to assets granted by the creditor to the debtor, but the term can also be used metaphorically to cover moral obligations and other interactions not based on economic value; and creation of fresh money supply, or “money stock,” which in economics, is the total amount of monetary assets available in an economy at a specific time. Thus, these measure may include levy of specific taxation, increase and enlarging the scope of existing taxation, raising of compulsory and voluntary loans from the public, arranging loans from foreign sovereign states or financial institutions, as also creation of money by the government or the central banking authority.
Throughout the history of human civilization, from the ancient time until the modern era, conflicts and wars have always been involved in raising of resources and war finance has remained, in some form or another, a major part of any defense economy.
Every nation in the history of mankind had different needs for military forces. The basis of their composition, equipment and use of facilities is formed when the needs are determined. Aside from that, it also determines what military does in terms of peacetime and wartime activities.
All militaries, whether large or small, are military organizations, or the structuring of the armed forces of a state so as to offer military capability required by the national defence policy. They must perform certain functions and fulfill certain roles to qualify for being designated as such. If they fail to do so, they may become known as: paramilitary, a military force whose function and organization are similar to those of a professional military, but which is not considered part of a state’s formal armed forces; civil defense, “civil protection,” an effort to protect the citizens of a state, generally non-combatants, from military attack; militia, or irregular army, commonly used to refer to a military force composed of ordinary citizens to provide defense, emergency law enforcement, or paramilitary service, in times of emergency without being paid a regular salary or committed to a fixed term of service; or others which are not military. The commonalities of that state’s military define them.
Another requirement is for the military command personnel, often called their officer corps, a member of an armed force or uniformed service who holds a position of authority, to command subordinated military personnel, a blanket term used to refer to members of any formed force. They are generally known as soldiers, the people who fight as part of an organized land-based armed force, however generally called a mercenary soldier, or simply mercenary, if that force is hiring the person; sailors (“mariners,” or “seaman”), a person who navigates water-borne vessels or assists in their operation, maintenance, or service; marines, a member of an infantry force that specialized in naval operations such as amphibious assault; or airmen, members of the air component of a nation’s armed service. They are capable of executing the many specialized operational missions and tasks required for the military to execute the policy directives. Military also has its projects, and routines; ”military administration” which identifies both the techniques and systems used by military departments, agencies, and Armed Services involved in the management of the armed forces. It is just like in the commercial enterprises, (also known as a “business,” or a “firm”) when an organization engaged in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers, where there are, in a corporate setting, directors, managers, and various staff that carry out the business of the day as part of business operations, or those ongoing recurring (cyclic) activities involved in the running of a business of the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders, or undertake business project management, or the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, managing, leading and controlling resources to achieve specific goals.
During peacetime when military personnel are mostly employed in garrisons, the collective term of a body of troops stationed in a particular location, originally to guard it, but now often simply using it as a home base, or permanent military facilities they mostly conduct administrative tasks, “military education and training,” a process which intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles, and technology maintenance. Technology maintenance can be called as ”maintenance, repair, and operations” (“MRO”), or “maintenance, repair, and overhaul,” which involves fixing any sort of mechanical, plumbing or electrical device should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled or casualty maintenance).
Another role of military personnel is to ensure a continuous replacement of departing servicemen and women through military recruitment, or the act of requesting people, usually male adults, to join a military voluntarily, and the maintenance of a “military reserve,” “tactical reserve,” “strategic reserve,” “reserve formation,” or simply “reserve,” a group of military personnel or units which are initially not committed to a battle by their commander or that they are available to address unforeseen situations or exploit suddenly developing opportunities.

What is military logistics?
A military is an organization authorized by its greater society to use lethal force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country by combating actual or perceived threats. On the other hand, logistics is the management of the flow of resources, between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet some requirements, i.e. of customers or corporations. When these words are combined--military logistics--it is the discipline of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of military forces.
In its most comprehensive sense, it is those aspects or military operations that deal with: design, development acquisition (the bureaucratic management and procurement process dealing with a nations investments in the technologies, programs, and product support necessary to achieve its national security strategy and support its armed forces), storage, distribution, maintenance, evacuation, and disposition of material, a term used in English to refer to the equipment and supplies in military and commercial supply chain management; transport of personnel; acquisition or construction, maintenance, operation, and disposition of facilities; acquisition or furnishing of services; and, medical and health service support.

Australian teleports support mission critical communications in the Middle East
Proactive Communications (PCI) is a US-based systems integrator providing the necessary communications solutions for government personnel in the Middle East. Since much of the region remains prone to war and other civil conflict, many terrestrial communications network have been or can be damaged or destroyed.
What PCI did was to get the services of a teleport facility to provide satellite communications to the Middle East. NewSat was the chosen operator for this service, since being based in Australia, their Perth teleport facility was not subject to climatic conditions which could hamper the transmission of critical and sensitive data to the military troops in the Middle East.
Geographically speaking, Australia's location is not only perfect because minimal rainfall results to minimal latency, but also becomes it provides optimal look-angle to the Middle East.
Watch the video above where Marc Legare, CEO discuss why PCI chose NewSat to provide mission critical satellite communications to his US military customers.
