Adsidui In ancient Rome , adsidui ( also " assidui " ; sg . " adsiduus " or " assiduus " , Latin for " diligent , loyal " , and collectively , " tax - payers " ) were the citizens who were liable to military service in the main line of battle , that is , for much of the history of the Roman republic , as legionaries . The " adsidui " were the members of the first five census classes , which were , according to the Roman historian Livy , created under the reign of Servius Tullius , the sixth legendary king of ancient Rome . Under Tullius ' original organisation , the first class was made of the richest , and thus best - equipped citizens , with helmet , shield , greave s , cuirass , spear and sword . As one went down through the classes and the corresponding levels of wealth , equipment went lighter and lighter . According to Peter Connolly , the goal of Tullius ' reform was to base military service on wealth , and not race , thus better integrating the Etruscans , who at that time ruled Rome , and the Romans themselves ; he points out , however , that in the beginning most members of the richest first class must have been Etruscans . The " adsidui " were , as opposed to the " proletarii " , eligible to serve in the legions . However , along the structural evolution of the Roman army , the " census " levels necessary to be an " adsiduus " were gradually lowered . The Marian reforms of Gaius Marius , allowing any Roman citizen to become a legionary , were only the last step in this evolution .

Battle of Dangpo The naval Battle of Dangpo was a battle during the Japanese invasions of Korea ( 1592 – 1598 ) . between Korean and Japanese naval forces . It resulted in a Korean victory . Prelude . The day after the Battle of Sacheon , Admiral Yi Sun - shin had his fleet rested in the open sea off Saryang where they would have tactical advantage were the Japanese to execute a counterattack . Admiral Yi once again summoned his resting fleet to arms the morning of June 2 when he received a report that 21 Japanese ships were docked at the harbor of Dangpo . Here at Dangpo , the subordinate of Kurushima Michifusa , Kurushima Michiyuki , was commanding his troops to loot and burn a coastal town . The Attack . As the Korean fleet approached the Dangpo harbor , Yi Sun - shin noticed that the flagship of this Japanese fleet was anchored among the other vessels . Realizing the golden opportunity , Admiral Yi led the assault with his own flagship ( a turtleship ) targeting the Japanese flagship . The sturdy construction of his turteship allowed Yi Sun - shin to easily ram through the line of Japanese ships and position his ship right alongside the anchored Japanese flagship . The light construction of the Japanese ship was no match for a full broadside assault and was left sinking in minutes . From the turtle ship , a hail of cannonballs rained down on the other ships , destroying more vessels . The Koreans circled the other ships anchored and began to sink them . Then , Korean general Kwon Joon shot an arrow into Kurushima . The Japanese commander fell dead and a Korean captain jumped onboard and cut off his head . The Japanese soldiers panicked upon seeing the beheading of their admiral and were slaughtered by the Koreans in their confusion . Admiral Yi ordered a landing party to destroy the enemy base on the beach , but once again was forced to recall his order when he heard reports that at least 20 ships were bearing down on them from Koje - do . Wishing to give his fleet the greatest tactical advantage possible , he ordered his ships to sail out of the bay and into the open sea . The battle would not continue on this day , however , as the Japanese ships made a hasty retreat into the descending darkness upon seeing the intimidating Korean fleet . Aftermath . After the battle , the Koreans searched Kurushima ' s flagship and captured a beautiful golden fan that had been personally presented to Kurushima by Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself . After the Battle of Dangpo , Admiral Yi set out and searched the surrounding islands until he received a report from fishermen that another small fleet of Japanese ships lay anchored at Danghangpo , which was to be the site of another battle .

S . offensive biological warfare program . The Laboratories and their projects were discontinued in 1969 . History . Origins . The USBWL were created after Secretary of War Henry L . Stimson requested the National Academy of Sciences ( NAS ) in 1941 to review the feasibility of biological warfare ( BW ) . The following year , the NAS reported that BW might be feasible and recommended that steps be taken to reduce U . S . vulnerability to BW attack . Thereafter , the official policy of the United States was first to deter the use of BW against U . S . forces , and secondarily to retaliate if deterrence failed . World War II . Throughout the war years , Dr Ira L . Baldwin , professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison , was scientific director of the Laboratories . Cold War . The USBWL were the United States ' front - line defense against BW during the first half of the Cold War . Disestablishment .

Edward Uhl Edward Uhl ( March 24 , 1918 – May 9 , 2010 ) was a United States Army Ordnance Officer who helped to develop the M1 portable rocket launcher , known as the bazooka . He was born in New Jersey and graduated in engineering at Lehigh University , Bethlehem , Pennsylvania in 1940 . He enlisted in the US Army in 1941 and was commissioned into the Ordnance Corps . In 1942 whilst working at the headquarters of the corps in Washington with the rank of lieutenant he was tasked with utilizing the M10 shaped charge as an anti - tank weapon for use by the infantry . It was too heavy for a hand grenade so Uhl used a piece of scrap metal tubing to create a simple recoil less rocket launcher to propel the charge . According to Uhl , " I was walking by this scrap pile , and there was a tube that . . . happened to be the same size as the grenade that we were turning into a rocket . I said , That ' s the answer ! Put the tube on a soldier ' s shoulder with the rocket inside , and away it goes . " By launching from the shoulder the danger of burns to the face of the operator was avoided . In 1942 the new weapon was deployed to North Africa and it was later used effectively against German tanks in the Normandy Campaign . Uhl rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and after his military service he worked for the Glenn L . Martin Company and Martin Marietta on guided missiles projects and became vice - president of engineering . He was then president of the Fairchild Engine and Airplane company before his retirement in 1985 . He died aged 92 of heart failure .
