Army Strategic Forces Command ( Pakistan ) The Army Strategic Forces Command , ( reporting name : ASFC ) , is an important and major combatant command of Pakistan Army , tasked with deployment of land - based space weapons and associated systems . Its comparable command includes the PAF ' s missile command and the Navy ' s strategic command , all commands formed the unified command and control mechanism under the directorship and leadership of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee . Significantly , it is a newer component of administrative corps of Pakistan Army , it is tasked to commands all of Pakistan ' s land - based strategic forces as well as gaining control of the land - based space operations ( such as military satellites ) , information operations ( such as information warfare ) , missile defense , intelligence , surveillance , and reconnaissance ( C4ISR ) , and strategic deterrence and combating weapons of mass destruction . History . Before its establishment , the Pakistan Air Force ' s Air Force Strategic Command was completely responsible for protecting the nuclear assets and had control over the land and air - based nuclear weapons . The Air Force Strategic Command was highly active during the country ' s nuclear test experiments in 1998 , and it had completely dismantle the role of the Army to take any decisions over the nuclear weapons . Its success influenced Chief of Army Staff and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Pervez Musharraf to established a new formation that created in June 1999 . General Pervez Musharraf desired to have a formal command and control structure for the employment of Pakistan land based nuclear weapons , and completely independent from the Air Force . The Command was established after Prime minister Navaz Sharif ordered nuclear tests in 1998 , under codename " Chagai - I " and " Chagai - II " in Balochistan Province . The command structure includes the Nuclear Command Authority , Strategic Plans Division , and the Strategic Forces Commands of Air Force , Naval and Marines . The formation itself became operational in March 2000 . It became a fully fledged corps in 2004 . Employment . The official remit of the formation is " the command and employment of all land - based strategic assets . " This rather vague description seems to imply that it controls most , if not all , of Pakistans Ballistic launchers . While Pakistan is a nuclear weapons state , it is unknown at this time if ASFC is in possession or control of any nuclear warheads , though presumably in a nuclear war a good percentage of the warheads would be delivered to their targets by the launchers of the ASFC . Composition . Since 2004 , ASFC has been made the equivalent of a corps . It has subordinate divisions , brigades and units . There is scant information on these , except for the 47th Artillery Brigade , which seems to be based in Sargodha .

Yagura The term originally derives from the use of fortress towers as arrow ( 矢 , " ya " ) storehouses ( 倉 , " kura " ) , and was thus originally written as 矢倉 . Today , modern towers such as skyscrapers or communications towers are almost exclusively referred to or named using the English - derived word " tawā " ( タワー ) , and not " yagura " . Castle towers . Castle towers varied widely in shape , size , and purpose . Many served , of course , as watchtowers , guardtowers , and for similar military purposes . Arrows were often stored there , along with , presumably , other equipment . However , as castles also served as the luxurious home of Japan ' s feudal lords ( the daimyō ) , it was not uncommon for a castle to also have an astronomy tower , or a tower which provided a good vantage point for enjoying the natural beauty of the scenery . Japan has rarely feared invasion or maintained border forts . However , it is not unlikely that various types of guardtowers or watchtowers would have been kept , outside of larger castle compounds , at various times and places throughout Japan ' s history .

Rudi Arnstadt Rudi Arnstadt ( September 3 , 1926 – August 14 , 1962 ) was an East German border guard who was shot and killed while serving as a captain of the border troops of the former East Germany . He was shot by Hans Plüschke , a 23 - year - old West German border guard . According to West German officials , Plüschke was returning fire after his patrol was shot at . The incident took place at Wiesenfeld on the East - West border in the East German province of Thuringia . His death occurred along with the deaths of another four East German border troops in quite a short time . Such incidents led to a very strained relationship between the two opposing sets of German border troops . This has been proposed as a contributory factor for the failure of East Berlin border guards to assist the mortally wounded Peter Fechter . Fechter was shot while attempting to defect to West Berlin on August 17 , 1962 and died after lying in no - man ' s land for an hour , in full view of both sides . In 1998 , Plüschke was fatally shot in his right eye , the same fatal wound Arnstadt had suffered . His body was found by a motorist on the Bundesstraße B 84 , 70 meters from his vehicle .
Yomp Yomp is Royal Marines slang describing a long - distance march carrying full kit . The origin of the word is unclear . It was popularized by journalistic coverage in 1982 during the Falklands War . It has been compared to the term " yump " used in rally - driving in the sense of " to leave the ground when taking a crest at speed " , apparently a variant of " jump " . British Army slang for the same thing is ' tab ' , of equally unknown origin ( one suggestion would interpret it as an acronym of Tactical Advance to Battle ) . The most famous yomp of recent times was during the 1982 Falklands War . After disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland , on 21 May 1982 , Royal Marines and members of the Parachute Regiment yomped ( and tabbed ) with their equipment across the islands , covering in three days carrying loads . Media coverage of this war saw the term ' yomp ' become well known and in general use . A computer game called " Yomp " was produced by Virgin Games shortly after the Falklands conflict . However , the term has since faded somewhat from general use in the decades since the end of the Falklands war . The Yomper . The image of " the Yomper " became one of the iconic images of the Falklands War . The original photograph was taken by Petty Officer Peter Holdgate , Commando Forces Photographer , whilst working as part of the Commando Forces News Team . After landing with 40 Commando at San Carlos , Holdgate accompanied British forces across the Falklands War zone taking hundreds of photographs . The photograph of 24 year old Corporal Peter Robinson was taken in June 1982 as the Royal Marines proceeded along the Moody Brook track towards Port Stanley . When news of the surrender of Argentine forces was received , Corporal Robinson produced a Union Flag from his pack and attached it to the aerial of his radio with masking tape . The photograph itself was entirely spontaneous and not staged . The image was used as the inspiration of a statue that was unveiled by Lady Margaret Thatcher on 8 July 1992 on the 10th anniversary of the conflict . It now adorns the entrance to the Royal Marines Museum in Southsea .
