Chana Timoner Chana Timoner ( 1952 – 1998 ) was the first female rabbi to hold an active duty assignment as a chaplain in the U . S . Army , which she began in 1993 . She was born in New Haven , Connecticut . Her mother had joined the Canadian Army to fight in World War II in 1940 , a year before the United States entered the war , and in 1941 her mother transferred to the newly organized Women ' s Army Corps of the United States . Chana Timoner married at 18 , and had two children by the time she graduated from college , yet was unhappy and restless as a homemaker and mother . She began rabbinical studies in 1984 after a friend remarked one day , " you know , in 7 years you could be a 40 - year - old housewife or you could be a 40 - year - old rabbi . " She became a Conservative Jewish rabbi , ordained in 1989 . She joined the army in 1993 , and on the very day that year that she began her first assignment , at Fort Bragg in North Carolina , President Clinton announced the " Don ' t ask , don ' t tell " policy in the military ; even so , Rabbi Timoner said she would gladly provide a full range of counseling for gay soldiers . Furthermore , when she heard that gays and lesbians , including but not limited to those diagnosed with AIDS , were being shunned by the Jewish religious establishment in Connecticut , she formed study groups for Jewish gays and lesbians and became active in AIDS organizations . As the only Jewish chaplain at Fort Bragg , Rabbi Timoner held regular Friday services for the few Jewish soldiers at the base , but spent most of her time counseling other soldiers in a helicopter battalion , many of them women . Rabbi Timoner completed her Army service as a Captain , at Fort Benning in Georgia , where among other noteworthy acts she insisted on adding prayers for Catholic , gay and gypsy victims of the Nazi terror at a Holocaust service . Indeed , when Elie Wiesel once addressed a large Jewish gathering at Yale University and made an impassioned reference to " the six million " , Rabbi Timoner , who was sitting on the first row , stood and rebuked him for not including the other oppressed groups who died in the gas chamber s ( such as Roma ) . She died at age 46 in 1998 , having received a medical discharge from the army that very year due to the Epstein – Barr virus .

Battle of Motien Pass Preliminary movements . General Count Fedor Keller had assumed command of the Russian Eastern Force from General Zasulich after the Battle of Yalu River . His force of 25 , 000 men held Motien Pass , in the middle of Liaodong Peninsula , on the main road between Antung ( modern Dandong , China ) and Liaoyang . Keller , a loyal friend of General Aleksey Kuropatkin and a student of General Mikhail Skobelev , observed that the Japanese strategy was similar to that of the First Sino - Japanese War ( i . e . that the three Japanese armies would converge on Haicheng , as they had 10 years previously ) . Kuropatin agreed , and in an effort to fortify his position at Haicheng , he began a series of complex and confusing troop movements as he endeavored to plug real or imaginary gaps in his defensive line . Keller , already weakened by the loss of men at the Battle of Te - li - Ssu , was further forced to give up two more regiment s to Kuropatin ' s defenses at Haicheng . The Japanese 1st Army , under command of General Kuroki Tamemoto , paused at Fenghaungshang ( modern Fengheng , Liaoning Province , China ) from 2 – 8 July to await supplies and reinforcements . Kuroki decided to attack on 9 July , which was , by coincidence , the same day that General Keller received orders from General Kuropatkin depriving him of yet another regiment to support the defenses of Haicheng . Guarding the strategic Motien Pass , the Russians had three infantry regiments , three artillery batteries and a Cossack regiment . To the west was the reserve infantry regiment supported by a Cossack brigade . During the night of 8 – 9 July , a Japanese force moved along an unguarded path to the rear of the Russian right flank . This force was supported by Maxim machine guns and mountain artillery . Another group , clad in Japanese straw sandals to mask their movements , moved around the Russian left flank undetected . Battle . The battle began at 05 : 15 on 10 July with a direct Japanese frontal attack . This attack faltered by 07 : 00 due to strong artillery fire from the Russian positions ; however , by 08 : 00 , the Russians found themselves all but encircled by the Japanese flanking attack . By 10 : 00 , the Russians were in full retreat towards Hsimucheng ( modern Ximu , Liaodong Province , China ) . Aftermath . The Japanese moved in to occupy Motien Pass on 13 July . Casualties on both sides were relatively light , and later commentators have speculated extensively on why General Keller ( otherwise known to be competent ) abandoned such a strategic and easily - defendable location with so little resistance . Keller , who perished due to shrapnel wounds from Japanese artillery in an ill - fated counterattack to retake Motien Pass left no notes .
Greek military ranks Modern Greek military ranks are based on Ancient Greek & Byzantine terminology , even though the ranks correspond to those of other Western armies . For example , ancient hoplite unit of approximately 100 men , the " lochos " , is today the name for a company of soldiers ; its commander , as in ancient times , is a " lochagos " , while his lieutenants are called " ypolochagoi " - literally , " sub - captains " - a modern neologism . A sergeant is known as a " lochias . " A " tagmatarchis " ( major ) commands a " tagma " ( battalion ) and so forth . Thus , every officer or non - commissioned officer is in the land and air forces is generally named after the type of unit he commands , with the suffix - " agos " ( from " agein " , " to lead " ) or " - archos " / " arches " ( from " archein " , " to rule " ) . Air Force . The Hellenic Air Force , is the youngest of the three services ( founded in 1930 ) . Its rank structure and insignia are based on the British Royal Air Force .
