She voiced concern about the possibility of Russia sending troops into Belarus after President Vladimir Putin said the Kremlin has prepared a cadre of police officers to assist the country if necessary.
A cadre (/ˈkɑːdrə/, .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-smallfont-size:85%.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-smallfont-size:100%also UK: /ˈkɑːdər/, also US: /ˈkɑːdreɪ/) is the complement of commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers of a military unit responsible for training the rest of the unit.[1] The cadre may be the permanent skeleton establishment of a unit, around which the full unit can be built if needed. In countries which have conscription, a cadre may comprise the permanent staff of a regiment who train the conscripts assigned to it. The term comes from the French expression en cadre, with the same meaning.[2][3]
In the Military of the United States, a cadre is a group or member of a group of leaders, especially in units that conduct formal training schools.[4] In United States Army jargon, the word is singular and plural. At the United States Military Academy, the upper-class cadets who conduct Cadet Basic Training for incoming freshmen are called the cadre.[citation needed]
In the British Armed Forces, a cadre is a group of instructors or a unit that trains potential instructors or non-commissioned officers (NCOs), in which case it usually also includes the trainees (e.g., the Mountain Leader Training Cadre of the Royal Marines).
In the Japan Self-Defense Forces, the direct translation in Japanese for this word is "幹部, (kanbu)", which refers to the commissioned officers (幹部自衛官, kanbu-jieikan).[5] The JMSDF unofficially uses the word "准幹部, jun-kanbu" which means, "associate cadre" if the word is directly translated for the warrant officers,[6] since their position as the warrant officer is different from the other two (Ground and Air) branches.[7]
Adapted from the military usage, in Canadian police services, a cadre is an individual officer. It is used in place of badge number and is used in Records Management Systems for dispatching and report entry.[8]
In political contexts, cadre (/ˈkɑːdrə/, .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-smallfont-size:85%.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-smallfont-size:100%also UK: /ˈkɑːdər/, also US: /ˈkɑːdreɪ/) consists of persons with leadership skills within a political organization. In some socialist states, cadre is a group of people trained to carry out the goals of the Party-State and disseminate and enforce the official ideology. These groups are meant to stimulate loyalty and obedience to party rules and regulations by mobilizing citizens and encouraging collectivization. Cadres can be deployed in the field or employed in the office by the ruling party, the state, or the secret police. They are often created to break apart existing class hierarchies among citizens of the Party-State.[1] Cadres were present in a number of communist countries that enforced collectivization, including the Soviet Union and Romania. Additionally, the People's Republic of China still maintains a cadre system to this day..mw-parser-output .templatequoteoverflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequoteciteline-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0
For revolutionary socialists including Leninists, cadre is a group of committed, active, and experienced intellectuals who share political beliefs and participate in the revolutionary movements they see the most promise in. The term can also refer to a member of said group.[3]
In establishing the Romanian Communist Party (RCP), many characteristics of the Soviet model were imitated as groundwork for the Party. Because the RCP was politically weak, it required significant assistance from the Soviet Union. As a result, the RCP had many Soviet advisors within its bureaucracy, and based much of its structure on the Soviet blueprint.[1]
Collectivization also provided a seemingly easy way to unite the masses under a single umbrella of social, political, economic control as well as limit individuality. Ultimately, this served as a tool to enforce subordination under the RCP.
Another key goal of the RCP was to initiate widespread intellectual reform. Such reform is mostly intangible and can thus be much more difficult to implement. As a result, by collectivizing land, the state could have greater control over class resources and exert greater overall control over every member within those classes. With such control, intellectual reform becomes much easier.
A cadre was "anyone directly employed by the Party-state in an official capacity". Their work included serving as "the apparatuses of Party, state, or Securitate at any level of the political hierarchy". Cadres were considered to be from "healthy" or "unhealthy" origins. A cadre from healthy origins was a poorer peasant, while a cadre from unhealthy origins was a wealthier peasant. Cadres from healthy origins, ironically, had more issues with literacy and less managerial experience, but they were still preferred over cadres from unhealthy origins. Cadres who came from either origin could've still been stigmatized by their local community, which could've compromised their effectiveness in the field. Among the cadres, there were issues of illiteracy, lack of respect from their community, and a lack of commitment to the full ideology of communism. The state frequently encountered difficulties ensuring that cadres were acting in the way they wanted them to, oftentimes cadres would end up abusing the power they were delegated by the state or would end up shirking the responsibilities altogether.[1]
Drinking, and other similar fraternization behavior among the cadres was frowned upon by the RCP. Drinking and alcoholism could open up the cadres to bribery and undermine their ability to enforce quotas and collectivization. Similarly, any horizontal exchanges were deemed unacceptable by the RCP due to the vertically integrated state structure. This included sexual solicitation and theft. Cadres were also expected to uphold family values by remaining monogamous and refraining from divorce. Finally, cadres were discouraged from using excessive violence/force when not necessary because it violated the RCP's doctrine of "free consent."[1]
Under cadre policies, every level of government is steered by loyalists to the developmental and redress policies of the governing party. The African National Congress government in South Africa commonly practises cadre deployment to ensure that societal leaders actively implement redress policies.[citation needed] Together with Black Economic Empowerment policies, cadre policy is intended to address the inequities brought on by the former apartheid system in South Africa.[4] However, in 2021 the Zondo Commission of inquiry into the State capture of South Africa by corrupt interests found that cadre deployment was a significant channel for diverting and looting public funds.
Cadres are groups of employees organized by type of work. These groups are based on skills and experience and play a key role in keeping FEMA ready to deploy the right people to the right jobs quickly in disaster response and recovery operations.
The Acquisitions (ACQ) cadre provides timely, full-range purchase and procurement services in support of disaster operations. ACQ reviews program requirement requests to determine the most appropriate and effective contractual approach, publicizes requirements to offerors, evaluates proposals to determine technically acceptable solutions, legally enters the agency into contractual agreements for goods or services, monitors and measures contractor performance, and closes contracts.
The Civil Rights (CVR) cadre supports the FEMA mission by ensuring that, as an agency, we sustain our commitment to equal and civil rights by preventing discrimination in assistance to survivors and providing programs, services, and benefits to employees and survivors without discrimination. CVR Advisors analyze data to provide guidance on Title VI (non-discrimination) to FEMA program areas and leadership, ensuring compliance with applicable civil rights statutes, while also performing risk analysis throughout all phases of the disaster cycle. CVR also participates in community outreach and engagement to share information and learn more about barriers being experienced by disaster survivors and their communities. Through this and other work, FEMA is better able to provide equal access to its programs for disaster survivors before, during, and after disasters.
The Disability Integration (DI) cadre deploys to disaster sites to support the integration of individuals with disabilities into all FEMA programs and activities. DI achieves this by engaging state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, working collaboratively with stakeholder organizations, and by providing technical assistance and advice to FEMA leadership.
The Disaster Emergency Communications (DEC) cadre deploys, installs, operates, maintains, and protects telecommunications and operations assets in response to all-hazards disasters and in support of planned special events. They install maintain and protect telecommunications equipment, facilitate interoperable communications, and aid in evaluating post-disaster communication needs.
The Disaster Field Training Operations (DFTO) cadre is a professional team of communicators that specialize in all things training. The cadre works throughout FEMA to improve employee performance through training.
The Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) cadre is the "boots on the ground" Cadre. DSA establishes a timely presence at every disaster, primarily focusing on addressing the needs of disaster survivors by collecting targeted information to support leadership and operational decision-making, providing accessible, in-person case-specific information and referrals, providing referrals to whole community partners, as needed, and identifying disability-inclusive public information needs so strategic messaging can be developed and disseminated.
