At times , barrack ships were also used as prison ships . Use in World War II . " Barracks ships " in the combat area provided necessary residence for sailors and merchantmen whose ship had been sunk , or whose ship had been so damaged that on - board berthing was no longer possible . They were also used at advanced bases , and as mobile barracks for units such as construction battalions . Occasionally , they would be used for other roles such as providing office space . Non - self - propelled barracks ships were used by the United States Navy in forward areas during World War II , especially in the Pacific Ocean , and were designated APL , such as APL - 18 which was commissioned in 1944 and had the following specifications : Transport ships were also used as barracks by other war - time navies , such as the Kriegsmarine ' s .

Barrett XM109 The Barrett XM109 is an anti - materiel rifle , chambered in 25 × 59 mm , under development by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing . It was designed as a modification of the Barrett M107 and was capabile of defeating light armor and material out to . Overview . The XM109 , originally known as the Objective Sniper Weapon ( OSW ) or " Payload Rifle " ( according to Barrett ) , is a semi - automatic anti - materiel rifle , designed primarily for engagement of light armored vehicles and similar materiel targets . The design uses the lower receiver from an M82 / M107 , but with a new upper receiver chambered in 25mm . In fact , it has been designed with this in mind . The upper receiver of the M82 rifles can be replaced with an XM109 upper receiver to form a fully functional XM109 rifle . The 25 × 59 mm cartridge is used in the XM109 and the XM307 ( product of the Objective Crew Served Weapon / OCSW program ) . As with the XM307 , the XM109 can be reconfigured back to . 50 BMG . The XM109 offers greater range and a shorter overall length than the previous M82 / M107 systems , as well as potentially greater power in the 25 × 59 mm cartridge over even the Mk 211 . 50 BMG cartridge ( AKA " Raufoss round " ) .
25 mm grenade The 25 mm grenade is a type of explosive ordnance used in some modern grenade launcher s . Examples of weapon s designed to launch 25 mm grenades are the experimental XM25 , the Barrett XM109 payload rifle , and the XM307 ACSW . The original use for this round was for the OCSW , now known as the XM307 ACSW . Later , a low velocity variant of the OCSW round was chosen for the XM25 , which is derived from the XM29 OICW . There are two different versions of the 25mm grenade , the 25 x 40mm low - velocity round developed for the XM25 , and the 25 x 59mm high - velocity round developed for the XM109 and XM307 ACSW . 25 mm grenades are armed after launch , after traveling a safe distance . Many types explode on impact , but others are designed to explode in mid - air after traveling a certain distance — used to clear entrenched or barricaded positions .

All officers and airmen who are commissioned or enlisted to the Volunteer Air Force has to undergo a specified training course to suite the SLAF requirements since they are a part of the staff of the SLAF . The duration and the nature of the training is determined by the Commander of the SLAF . History . It was formed in 1971 vide Extraordinary Gazette No . 14 , 953 / 18 dated 14 April 1971 by the Governor - general . This was in response to the man power shortage faced by the air force in face of the 1971 JVP Insurrection that started on 5 April 1971 . The purpose of the Volunteer Air Force is to absorb personnel into the organization to fulfill urgent requirements and mobilize in specialized as well as in other areas on a temporary basis to supplement the regular force . Sqn Ldr J . T . Rex Fernando was the first Commanding Officer of the unit with Flt . Lt . Mani Seneviratne as his adjutant . At its conception the role of the Volunteer Force was essentially to assist the Regular Force in its primary and internal security duties . With more volunteers employed on internal security duties the skilled regular tradesmen were able to concentrate on their specialist technical and other skilled duties . Apart from internal security duties and general operational tasks Volunteer personnel were employed almost in every field of Air Force activity , on flying duties , Air Field Construction , Mechanical Transport Operations and maintenance , Engineering duties , Logistics and Catering Duties and Administrative , clerical , Medical and other miscellaneous service duties . The Airfield Construction Squadron was organized to undertake major construction projects and maintenance commitments . Among the officers , specialists recruited were General Duties Pilots who were required to supplement the small number of Regular Pilots who were continuously flying day and night on operational and air transportation commitments since the outbreak of the insurrection . The Volunteer Pilots were intended to provide some relief though it was not possible to immediately employ most of them on flying operational duties . While a very few were experienced pilots , most of the selected pilots held previous experience in light training aircraft only . A rapid course of training on the basic De Havilland Chipmunk s and converting them on the De Havilland Dove s and De Havilland Heron s they were of assistance to the regular pilots . The volunteers were demobilized by 1972 when the insurrection was stopped successfully .

It was named after its commander General Lionel Dunsterville . Its mission was to gather information , train and command local forces , and prevent the spread of German propaganda . Later on , Dunsterville was told to take and protect the Baku oil fields . The force was initially delayed by 3 , 000 Russian Bolshevik troops at Enzeli but then proceeded by ship to the port of Baku on the Caspian Sea . This was the primary target for the advancing Turkish forces and Dunsterforce endured a short , brutal siege in September 1918 before being forced to withdraw . Dunsterville took the blame for the debacle , and the force was reconstituted as Norperforce under the command of Major - General William Montgomery Thomson , who re - entered Baku on 16 November 1918 . Order of battle . The British element of Dunsterforce comprised 39th Brigade of 13th ( Western ) Division . On July 1 , 1918 the brigade received orders to be detached from the division for attachment to the Norperforce . The brigade ' s component units left the division between July 10 and August 19 . Brigade HQ arrived in Baku at Dunsterforce HQ on August 24 . Soviet account . Soviet archivist Vasili Mitrokhin claimed that Dunsterforce ' s objective was , under the guise of defending British India , to secure a foothold in the Caucasus . The force would then co - operate with counter - revolutionary forces to overthrow the Baku Soviet and seize control of the whole of the oil - rich Caucasus , the Caspian Sea , and all surrounding regions . Mitrokhin claimed that Gen . Dunsterville had " forty Ford vans loaded with gold and silver " to pay for the operation .
Anatra DS The Anatra DS or Anasal was a two - seat reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Anatra D ( Anade ) . It was built in the Anatra factory in Odessa in the Russian Empire and flown during World War I and by both sides during the Russian Civil War . The main difference from the previous model was the replacement of a 100 hp rotary engine with a much more powerful 150 hp Salmson radial engine , which improved performance . The engine was unusual , being one of the few water - cooled radial engines , hence the plane had a water radiator in front of the upper wing . This engine was license - built in Russia . The forward fuselage was similar to its predecessor , with a partial engine cowling , open at the bottom , with characteristic holes . The plane was also slightly larger and more heavily armed , adding a synchronised forward - firing machine gun for the pilot in addition to the observer ' s weapon . The plane , named Anasal ( short for Anatra Salmson ) was first flown on 7 August 1916 ( 25 July 1916 old style ) . The first orders came only in 1917 , and before the Soviet revolution in November 1917 some 60 to 70 had been manufactured , many others being in different stages of completion . Many details differed between individual aircraft . In March 1918 Odessa was occupied by Austro - Hungarian forces , in accordance with the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk and in May the Austrian government ordered 200 Anasals , as the Anatra C . I , for training and observation . 114 were received by the Austrians by September 1918 , some half being given to training units before the end of World War I . In October , the remainder of the order was cancelled . The major post - war user of the Anasal was Czechoslovakia , with 23 former Austrian aircraft , used by the military , and later in civilian aviation . One of these has survived and is in the Prague Aviation Museum , Kbely . Eight Anasals were used by revolutionary forces in Hungary . Eight aircraft were acquired in March 1919 by the Polish 4th Rifle Division in Odessa , fighting in the Russian civil war on the White side , but only 4 were assembled and used until April . Another Anasal was captured and used by the Poles during the Polish - Soviet war in 1919 - 20 . A more advanced model was the Anatra DSS , with 160 hp Salmson engine , but few were made .

During the Montenotte Campaign in April 1796 , Rosselmini commanded a brigade in Johann Beaulieu ' s army . At the end of March , his battalions lay in their winter quarters at Lodi , far from the front . Consequently , he did not participate in any of the early battles . During the retreat behind the Po River , he covered the army ' s flank by initially moving along the south bank of the river . His command finally crossed to the north bank south of Pavia on 4 May . At the Battle of Lodi in May , Rosselmini led a 900 - man covering force that held Lodi until Josef Vukassovich ' s rearguard passed safely . Just before mid - day , the French advance guard attacked Rosselmini and drove him back through the town . His infantry battalion joined Karl Sebottendorf ' s first line during the main action while his cavalry trotted back to support the second line . Before the Battle of Borghetto , Beaulieu assigned Rosselmini ' s brigade to join the defenders of the Mantua fortress . During the first part of the Siege of Mantua , Rosselmini held the citadel with 3 , 666 soldiers in five battalions . When the siege was briefly raised in early August , Wurmser reassigned him outside the fortress .
