Returned to unit Returned To Unit or RTU refers to a military member being returned to their home base or home unit , either due to their being medically unfit , their requesting to be withdrawn from training , or their being unfit for training or otherwise disorderly . As military members can only be court - martial ed at their home base or unit , being RTU ' d for misconduct can often be a precursor to further judicial punishment . RTU ' ing is a concept used during a period of specialist training , whereby a service person has been extracted or detached from their home unit . For example , if a service person has been extracted to complete an instruction course run by a specialist unit within the armed forces such as a PTI or Range Control course . In the event of the service person wishing to withdraw from the course ( e . g . for personal or medical reasons ) ; or if the course supervisor s deem that the service person is unfit to complete the course , for either medical or disciplinary reasons , the service person may be returned to their home unit . If a candidate is RTU ' d , the supervisor responsible for sending them home will supply a written report to the service person ' s OC detailing the reason why they have been RTU ' d . If a service person is RTU ' d on disciplinary grounds , their OC will decide if any further disciplinary action is needed , based on the RTU report from the course supervisor , and if necessary , by consultation with the course supervisors . The reason this is done is that , according to military law , disciplinary action such as a court - martial can only by issued against a service person by their home unit . There are several reasons why a military member may be RTU ' d . It can be for major or minor infractions of the rules , or disorderly behaviour . It may also be on compassionate grounds , such as RTU ' ing an injured soldier ( or other medical conditions ) . The term " Returned To Unit " ( " RTU " ) is used in the Canadian Forces and the UK .

Battle of Resaca de la Palma At the Battle of Resaca de la Palma , one of the early engagements of the Mexican - American War , United States General Zachary Taylor engaged the retreating forces of the Mexican " Ejército del Norte " ( " Army of the North " ) under General Mariano Arista on May 9 , 1846 . Background . During the night of May 8 , following disappointments at the Battle of Palo Alto , Arista chose to withdraw to the more defensible position of Resaca de la Palma , a dry riverbed ( " resaca " is the Spanish term for a dry riverbed ) , and establish himself while waiting for Taylor ' s next move . On the morning of May 9 , Taylor ' s 1 , 700 troops engaged a Mexican force which had increased to 4 , 000 with Arista ' s reinforcements . Mexican Order of Battle : Right Wing ( Zapadores Battalion , 2d Light , 1st , 6th & 10th Infantry and one Artillery Battery Capt . J . D . Ramirez ) Left Wing ( Guarda Costa Tampico Battalion ( cdr . J . Mateos ) ) Canales Ranchero cavalry and one Artillery Battery ) , Rear ( 2d Light ( lt . Col . M . Fernandez ) 4th Infantry ( Lt . Col . Calatayud ) ) Arista ' s carefully laid plans for engaging the Americans at Resaca were , however , somewhat diluted because of political infighting in the Mexican officer corps and the difficulty in communicating in the rough terrain of the battlefield . Battle . Resistance on the part of the Mexicans was stiff , and the U . S . forces nearly suffered a reverse before a force of Dragoon s commanded by Charles A . May surprised the flank of the Mexican lines and forced a retreat . Two counter - attacks on the American position were defeated , and the Mexican Army fled the field , leaving behind a number of artillery pieces , Arista ' s writing desk and silver service , the colors of Mexico ' s lauded Tampico Battalion , and other baggage . U . S . forces also captured several Mexican artillery pieces , including two 8 pounder bronze guns , two 6 pounder bronze guns and four 4 pounder bronze guns . Aftermath . The resulting embarrassment as a near victory turned into a defeat caused the removal of Arista as commander of the Army of the North and a serious reassessment of Mexican strategy . Corruption and infighting in the Mexican government failed to produce a cohesive strategy for much of the fighting , despite increased skill and success on the part of the Mexican Army . The battle site is in the city limits of present day Brownsville , Texas .

Operation Flaming Dart Operation Flaming Dart was a U . S . and ( South ) Vietnam Air Force military operation , conducted in two parts , during the Vietnam War . During the bombing raid Premier Alexei Kosygin headed a Soviet delegation to North Vietnam . United States President Lyndon B . Johnson in February 1965 ordered a series of reprisal air strikes after several attacks on U . S . bases by Vietcong units , particularly in reply to a mortar attack at Pleiku . These strikes had originally been intended to be part of a three - phase " program " beginning with attacks in Laos in December , 1964 ( Operation Barrel Roll ) to bring pressure to bear on North Vietnam , and so had been ready to fly . Escalation of the Vietnam War officially started on the morning of 31 January 1965 when orders were cut and issued to mobilize the 18th Tactical Fighter Squadron from Okinawa to Da Nang Air Base . A red alert alarm to " scramble " F - 105s was sounded at Kadena Air Base at 3 : 00 am , pilots and support were deployed from Okinawa and landed in Vietnam that afternoon to join up with other smaller units who had already arrived weeks earlier . Preparations were under way for the first step of Operation Flaming Dart . 49 sorties were flown for Flaming Dart I ( 7 February 1965 ) and 99 more for Flaming Dart II ( 11 February 1965 ) . The Vietcong attacked a hotel billeting U . S . personnel in reaction to Flaming Dart I , prompting the second air strike . Flaming Dart I targeted North Vietnamese army bases near Dong Hoi , while the second wave targeted Vietcong logistics and communications near the Demilitarized Zone . Among the pilots was Air Marshal Nguyen Cao Ky , then a member of Vietnam ' s ruling junta . American reaction to Communist escalation was not restricted to the bombing of North Vietnam . Washington also authorized the use of U . S . jet attack aircraft to engage targets in the south . On 19 February , U . S . Air Force B - 57 s conducted the first jet strikes flown by Americans in support of South Vietnamese ground units . On 24 February , Air Force jets struck again , this time breaking up a Communist ambush in the Central Highlands with a massive series of tactical air sorties . The Operation Flaming Dart raids were later followed by Operation Rolling Thunder , which began a 44 - month campaign on 2 March 1965 .
