26 Jan 23. Countries Gather for U.S.-Canada Co-Hosted Proliferation Security Initiative Workshop Focused on the Western Hemisphere.
The United States and Canada co-hosted the Western Hemisphere Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) Workshop from January 24-26, 2023, at U.S. Southern Command’s headquarters in Florida. This event, the Western Hemisphere’s premier PSI workshop, is designed to enhance the region’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) counter-proliferation capacity and long-term commitment to the Proliferation Security Initiative.
The workshop demonstrated partnership and commitments to countering threats from WMD in the region. Over the course of three days, civilian and military leaders from nine countries examined modern WMD proliferation pathways, improved understanding of WMD interdiction obligations, explored legal frameworks and the best practices of partners, and enhanced the connections of the Countering WMD community in the Western Hemisphere. Attendees also participated in a table-top exercise to explore the practical application of PSI’s foundational principles and to increase understanding of legal and operational considerations involved in countering WMD proliferation.
PSI was established in 2003 to combat transfers of WMD, their delivery systems, and related materials flowing to and from states and non-state actors of proliferation concern. More than 100 countries have endorsed the PSI Statement of Interdiction Principles. These nations have committed to take effective measures to interdict WMD-related transfers consistent with national law and international obligations, adopt streamlined procedures for rapid information exchange, and strengthen relevant national and international laws and frameworks.
New and complex challenges are threatening international stability and a commitment to counter-proliferation is more important than ever. In light of this, the United States and Canada encourage all countries in the Western Hemisphere to endorse PSI as a visible commitment to further develop relationships with like-minded states to foster the increased collaboration needed to address today’s proliferation challenges.

27 Jan 23. Marksman – the defence and aerospace communications support service. A new service, launched this week, with an excellent pedigree.
If you have ever found yourself in the situation where you have too much to do and no time to do it, and your team are too busy to help, or worse, there is no team. If you are thinking “welcome to my world”, then read on.
Marksman Communication was established for just that reason, to provide services and resources to organisations that occasionally lack internal bandwidth to fully deliver on their Marketing priorities. From years of experience in Marketing Communications, across many industries and businesses, we understand the challenges faced by a busy marketing department.
It might be that you are having trouble recruiting the right people for your team, or if you can’t get sign-off and budget for new-hires, or if you just don’t need additional permanent staff. When you have too much to do and no resources to do it, bridging that gap is difficult. Marksman offers a flexible, fast and responsive approach. We have worked on projects targeting Governments, Primes, MoD/DoD, ESA/NASA, USSOCOM and many more, so we understand those challenges. We are focused on Defence & Aerospace companies, freeing up their internal resources by taking over specific projects or activities. That could be anything from organising and running presence at an event, working on specific advertising or social media campaigns and press and VIP engagement, to delivering on the design and production of video, images, graphics and literature. We are a confidential Support Service for industry.
There are many companies who offer services to write strategy or improve and streamline activities, however, we have found that the biggest barrier to successful implementation is bandwidth. Marksman have a completely flexible approach enabling our clients to swiftly and effortlessly add in additional resourcing to their internal professionals without all the obstacles of permanently increasing the team. We provide services across the full MarComms spectrum, with trusted contacts established over many years in the industry.
If any of this sounds familiar then don’t worry, help is at hand, you are the reason Marksman Communication was established.
