What is the relationship between military occupation and military government?
Q. In the news, I often read about military occupation issues. Sometimes I see the subject of "military government" mentioned. So, I am wondering, what is the relationship between military occupation and military government? When does military occupation begin and when does military government begin?

A. The Hague Conventions of 1907 specify that "territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army." William Birkhimer on page 33 of his opus Military Government and Martial Law (3rd edition, 1914) notes that: "The truth must be that a territory is militarily occupied when the invader dominates it to the exclusion of the former and regular government.

A. Air Force, definately. The marines are a very small branch, adjuct to the navy, and don't really do much of anything in the way of cryptography (they pretty much use whatever cyptography the navy does). Likewise, the coast guard doesn't really do any cryptography. The Air Force, however, has these C-135's (707) that fly all over the world gathering radio traffic. They have linguistics experts trained in several languages who A) are on the planes and kind of make a first pass looking for the most important stuff to focus on, and B) on the ground who analyze the tapes when the planes come home. The Air Force is into cryptographic linguistics, big time. The other option would be the NSA, which is really kind of a joint venture between… [cont.]
