The Pentropic organisation was a military organisation used by the Australian Army between 1960 and 1965. It was based on the United States Army s pentomic organisation and involved reorganising most of the Army s combat units into units based on five elements, rather than the previous three or four sub elements. The organisation proved unsuccessful, and the Army reverted to its previous unit structures in early 1965. History The decision to adopt the Pentropic organisation was driven by a desire to modernise the Army and ensure that Australian units were able to integrate with those of the United States Army. While the US Pentomic organisation had been implemented in 1957 to improve the Army s ability to operate during a nuclear war , the Australian organisation was optimised for limited war s in South East Asia in which there was a chance that nuclear weapon s might be used. Both structures were designed to facilitate independent operations by the sub units of Division military divisions . The Australian Pentropic division was intended to be air portable, capable of fighting in a limited war and capable of conducting anti guerrilla operations. ref Kuring 2004 , pg 261 262. ref The key element of the Pentropic organisation was the reorganisation of divisions into five combined arms Battlegroup army battle groups .

The Carte Organisation was a putative organ of French resistance during the Second World War . It was the brainchild of Andr Girard 1901 1968 Andr Girard , an artist who claimed to have at his command a secret army of hundreds of thousands of would be r sistants waiting to rise against the Germans once they were properly armed and led. Girard s secret army existed mainly on paper and in the minds of a community of artists, musicians and students in the French Riviera. Realistically, the organisation extended no further than the group of people around Girard and his deputy Henri Frager , plus some other small groups. In November 1942, a list of names and addresses of hundreds of potential Carte members, drawn up by Girard, fell into the hands of the Abwehr . An assistant of Girard named Andr Marsac was carrying the list by train from Marseille to Paris . While Marsac slept on the train, an Abwehr agent stole the briefcase which contained the list. This fact was to have implications for the British Special Operations Executive with which Carte became entangled. SOE agent Peter Churchill had arrived in January 1942 to evaluate the usefulness of the Carte network. He was impressed by the people he met but disagreements between Girard and Frager made it necessary for SOE to choose between them. Peter Churchill, having chosen Frager as preferable, took him to London in March 1943 to be briefed by SOE on his future role. There was no need. Carte was already doomed. On the same night, Francis Cammaerts arrived to take Peter Churchill s place and subsequently made a much more realistic appraisal of Carte. The following day, Andr Marsac , from whom the Carte list had been stolen by the Abwehr, was arrested near the Champs lys es by Hugo Bleicher , a sergeant in the Abwehr, and incarcerated in Fresnes prison . Bleicher, posing as an anti Nazi colonel, convinced Marsac that he wished to defect, and the pair concocted an elaborate scheme involving the co operation of Marsac ... more details
