Currently UMUC conducts undergraduate programs in two major geographic areas overseas: the European Division (Azores, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom) and the Asian Division (Australia, Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, Marshall Islands, South Korea, and Thailand). Within the European Division, most lecturers are assigned to Germany; within the Asian Divison, most are assigned to Japan (including Okinawa) and South Korea. Most courses taught overseas are undergraduate, although master's degrees in administrative management, management information systems, and counseling and personnel services are offered in the European Division. The master's degree program in counseling and personnel services is also offered on Okinawa, Japan. Return to top One-year renewable appointments are available for faculty members, usually in the following disciplines: accounting, astronomy, business and management, computer studies, criminology, economics, English and communication studies, government, history, life sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, psychology, sociology and speech. Annually appointed lecturers are not employed to teach education, foreign languages, law-related subjects, and certain other courses overseas because well-qualified local faculty are available on an adjunct basis.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Army News Service, March 27, 2001) - Food shipments to U.S. military facilities in Europe were disrupted last week by measures to stop the spread of foot and mouth disease, but DoD transportation officials said a Dutch embargo at the port was lifted this morning. More than 50 containers of food bound for U.S. military forces were embargoed in Rotterdam when they arrived March 21 aboard the ship Sealand Performance - the same day several cases of foot and mouth disease were discovered in the Netherlands. Dutch customs put a 72-hour embargo on movement of the 40-foot containers of refrigerated or frozen meat products, according to the Military Traffic Management Command. At the same time, Germany closed its border to imported food products as a precaution to stop the spread of foot and mouth disease to farm animals. That embargo - lifted today - was backed up by intensive border controls by police and customs. Eight containers, with food products such as juices, onion rings and candy, were released today. These containers were dispatched by truck to post exchanges and commissary facilities in Kaiserslautern, Giessen, Grundtstadt and Edingen/Neckarhausen in Germany, said John Slee, chief of documentation for the 838th Transportation Battalion in Rotterdam.

In addition, the United Kingdom plays a leading role in international fora such as the UN Security Council, OECD, OSCE, NATO and the EU. Economically, the two countries are the largest source of foreign investment for each other, and the U.K. is the fourth largest export market of the U.S. These factors combined underline the variety and enduring nature of U.S.-U.K. links. The U.S. Embassy works to maintain and broaden this relationship which is characterized by successful cooperation across a wide range of political, economic and security issues. The Ambassador to the Court of St. James's is the personal representative of the President, and oversees the Embassy, as well as Consulates General in Edinburgh and Belfast and a liaison office in Cardiff .

Extractions: Table of Contents Introduction Overview of U.S. International Travel ... References U.S. international passenger travel experienced a notable expansion from 1990 to 2000 ( table 1 and box 1 ). In total, 366 million inbound and outbound trips were made between the United States and other countries in 2000, a 16 percent increase from 315 million trips in 1990 . Of trips made in 2000, the majority of U.S. international travel (approximately 86 percent) was with Canada and Mexico, and most of this was same-day travel ( figure 1 ). While North American travel dominates U.S. international travel overall, it grew at a slower annual rate than U.S. travel with overseas countries in the 1990s. Between 1990 and 2000, trips generated in North America rose 10 percent, in contrast to a 70 percent increase for trips between the United States and overseas countries. The number of U.S. residents traveling to overseas destinations is slightly greater than the number of overseas visitors coming to the United States. In 2000, 27 million U.S. residents traveled to overseas destinations, while 26 million overseas residents came to the United States. Overall, inbound travel to the United States, including both overseas and North American, increased more slowly than outbound U.S. travel. Still, the United States, with 51 million foreign resident visits, surpassed Spain to become the second-most visited country worldwide. In comparison, France accounted for the most international overnight visits, with 76 million in 2000 (USDOC ITA 2001d). Europe still remains the top origin and destination for U.S. inbound and outbound overseas travel, followed by Asia, the Caribbean, and South America (

Extractions: Military Sealift Command Ships of the Line By Salvatore R. Mercogliano In 1973, with the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam , the last two troop transports - the third arm of the early military sealift triad, the other two being freighters and tankers - were removed from active service, ending the regularly scheduled operations of these ships. This event marked the true transition point from Military Sea Transportation Service to the modern Military Sealift Command. The initial fleet of troopers consisted of a mixture of several different classes but three primary ones emerged: the C-4 General-class, and the larger and more prestigious, hence better paying, P-2 Admiral and General-classes. C-4 Troopships The C-4s had a long and varied service with MSTS. Initially conceived as a vehicle carrier, similar to the successful Seatrain type vessels, the urgent need to deploy troops overseas and concerns over losses to the ships due to lack of adequate watertight protection, led to their conversion into troop transports. At 532 feet in length, and 12,420 gross tons, they were some of the largest vessels built by the Maritime Commission during the Second World War. They could accommodate 228 officers, 3,595 men, and 6,840 tons of cargo, with a cruising speed of 17 knots. Unlike Navy Attack Transports, troopers lacked the watercraft necessary to transfer their charges ashore and were intended for use in point-to-point operations. Both the Army and the War Shipping Administration utilized this class of ship and when the Army Transport Service was transferred to MSTS in March 1950, 23 C-4s were redesignated as United States Naval Ships, with 6 others reactivated for the Korean War.
