Chong Pang Camp Chong Pang Camp is located in the North of Singapore , next to Sembawang Air Base and opposite Chong Pang City in Yishun New Town . The camp is operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force . It was opened in the year 2002 . The camp houses elements from Air Defence Operations Command ( 160 SQN ) and Participation Command ( 3DA , 6 / 9 DA and 18 DA Battalions ) . The camp was originally known as the Air Defence Systems Division ( ADSD ) complex . There still exists a road sign along Sembawang Road with this name . The elements were then transferred to Air Defence Operations Command ( ADOC ) in early 2007 , and later , 3 Battalions were transferred to Participation Command ( PC ) in August 2007 .
Brazen - class destroyer The " Brazen " class formed part of a general class of forty turtleback destroyer s capable of 30 knots built around the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th century for the Royal Navy . The Admiralty had specified the general design and specification of the destroyers but left it to the builders to handle the detail . As a result although the destroyers were all similarly capable there were differences between them in terms of exact dimensions , type of boiler and engines and the number of funnels . They were seaworthy and well built but suffered from being lively which meant they were uncomfortable in heavy seas . Although specified for 30 knots this was with a light load , and in service 27 knots was normal . In 1913 all the three - funnelled destroyers were reclassified as C - class destroyers .
Ormsby - class attack transport The " Ormsby " - class attack transport was a class of US Navy attack transport that saw service in World War II . Like all attack transports , the purpose of the " Ormsby " s was to transport troops and their equipment to hostile shores in order to execute amphibious invasions using an array of smaller assault boats integral to the attack transport itself . Like all the attack transports , the " Ormsby " class was well armed with antiaircraft weaponry to protect itself and its cargo of troops from air attack in the battle zone . History . The " Ormsby " class began as a class of Navy transport ships ( classification AP ) . Like many other transports , they were redesignated attack transports ( APA ) on 1 February 1943 , the date on which the Navy formalized its separate classification of transport vessels into ordinary transports and attack transports . The three ships of the " Ormsby " class were based on the Maritime Commission ' s ubiquitous Type C2 merchant / auxiliary hull ( specifically , the C2 - S - B1 type ) . This was a pre - war merchant ship hull type which had been specifically designed with prospective Naval auxiliary service in mind . The three ships of the " Ormsby " class were laid down in rapid succession in July – August 1942 by the Moore Dry Dock Company of Oakland , California , and commissioned within a month of one another in June – July 1943 . The period of time from the laying of the keels to commissioning therefore , was about 12 months for each ship - a fairly average timespan for C - Type vessels converted to warships . Each of the ships was armed with two 5 " / 38 caliber dual - purpose guns , two Bofors 40mm gun s , and from 16 to 22 20mm gun s . The 20mm gun would eventually prove to be of limited use against air attack and later attack transport classes were fitted with more 40mm weapons instead . The ships had a good balance of troop and cargo capacity . In service . The " Ormsby " - class vessels were deployed exclusively in the Pacific Theatre . The ships saw action from the Gilbert Islands campaign to the final battle against the Japanese at Okinawa . Having earned six battle star s apiece , they were employed after hostilities in redeploying occupation troops to the newly conquered Japanese home islands and to other locations formerly occupied by the Japanese , such as parts of China and Korea . They were then used in Operation " Magic Carpet " , the giant sealift organized to bring demobilizing American servicemen back home to the United States . All three ships were decommissioned in March – April 1946 , and eventually sold or chartered into commercial service . All three were scrapped in 1969 , two of them , coincidentally , after suffering accidents that same year . The three vessels in the class thus enjoyed remarkably parallel careers over the course of a service life spanning approximately 26 years . References .

Rudolphus Ritzema Colonel Rudolphus Ritzema ( 1739 - 1803 ) was an American officer in the New York Line during the American Revolutionary War , and later changed sides , serving as a lieutenant colonel in a British regiment . He was born to the Reverend Johannes Ritzema and Hilltje Dyckstra in Kollum , a village in the Friesland province of the Dutch Republic . The family moved to America in 1744 . Ritzema attended Kings College , New York , where he was one of the first to graduate , in July 1758 . He went from there to study divinity in the Netherlands , but was uninterested , and ended up enlisting in the Prussia n army , where he likely saw service in the Seven Years ' War . After that war he returned to New York , where he studied and practiced law . When the revolution broke out in 1775 , he became a member of the Committee of Sixty and the Committee of One Hundred in New York City . On June 30 , 1775 , he was appointed lieutenant colonel of the 1st New York Regiment . In July he seized British armaments in New York City . On November 28 , 1775 he was appointed colonel of the 3rd New York Regiment on the recommendation of General Richard Montgomery replacing Alexander McDougall who had not accompanied his regiment to the field . He took part in the Battle of Quebec and believed one of the reasons for Montgomery ' s rush into battle was the pending enlistment terminations involving Benedict Arnold ' s forces . His regiment was next assigned to the defense of New York , and placed in Lord Stirling ' s brigade . According to charges filed by Stirling , Ritzema was lax in maintaining order and discipline in his regiment , which was two hours late for a parade review on July 1 , 1776 . Stirling placed Ritzema on report , in response to which Ritzema is alleged to have used disrespectful language . While he was subjected to a court martial over the slight , Ritzema was cleared when Stirling chose to overlook the slight . The bad blood appears to have continued , for by November 1776 , possibly during or after the Battle of White Plains , Ritzema deserted and joined the British Army . In May 1778 , as a lieutenant colonel in the British army , he raised a few companies of an organization called the Royal American Reformers . These companies were either demobilized or reassigned in December , and Ritzema was put on half pay . He died in May 1803 in Starcross , Devon , England . He had four children .
List of Medal of Honor recipients for the Indian Wars Indian Wars is the name generally used in the United States to describe a series of conflicts between the colonial or federal government and the native people of North America . The wars , which ranged from the 17th - century ( King Philip ' s War , King William ' s War , and Queen Anne ' s War at the opening of the 18th century ) to the Leech Lake uprising in 1898 , generally resulted in the opening of Native American lands to further colonization , the conquest of American Indians and their assimilation , or forced relocation to Indian reservations . The Indian Wars comprised a series of smaller wars . American Indians , diverse peoples with their own distinct tribal histories , were no more a single people than the Europeans . Living in societies organized in a variety of ways , American Indians usually made decisions about war and peace at the local level , though they sometimes fought as part of formal alliances , such as the Iroquois Confederation , or in temporary confederacies inspired by leaders such as Tecumseh . Medal of Honor . The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces . The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States . Due to the nature of this medal , it is commonly presented posthumously .

All the Shah ' s Men All the Shah ' s Men : An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror is a book written by American journalist Stephen Kinzer . The book discusses the 1953 Iranian coup d ' état backed by the U . S . Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) in which Mohammed Mossadegh , Iran ' s prime minister , was overthrown by Islamists supported by American and British agents ( chief among them Kermit Roosevelt ) and royalists loyal to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi . Summary . In 1933 Reza Shah signed a deal selling Iranian oil extraction rights to the Anglo - Persian Oil Company , later called British Petroleum ( BP ) . Though Iran was officially neutral at the start of World War II , its monarch was friendly towards the Axis . Following the 1941 Allied Invasion of Iran , Reza Shah was forced to abdicate in favour of his son Mohammad Reza Shah , who upheld the oil agreement with APOC , which by then had been renamed the " Anglo - Iranian Oil Company " . When the first democratically elected parliament and prime minister in Iran took power in 1950 they planned to seize the oil assets in Iran that had been developed by the British , violating the still running oil contract with British Petroleum . The British Government followed to court in Belgium ' s International Court and lost the case against Iran ' s new government . Great Britain reacted by blockading the Persian Gulf , the Strait of Hormuz , halting Iran ' s trade and economy . The US was concerned that Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh was seeking help from local superpower , the Soviet Union , in the case against Great Britain . The Dwight D . Eisenhower administration agreed with the Churchill government to restore the pro - western Shah to power . In the summer of 1953 , the CIA and Britain ' s MI6 arranged a coup in Tehran . The Iranian prime minister was successfully overthrown . Mossadegh spent the rest of his life on his country estate under house arrest , and Iran remained a staunch Cold War ally of the West . After more than 20 years of the Shah ' s rule , there was a bloody revolution in 1979 after which Iran became the Islamic Republic it is today . Regarding US policy as it developed towards Iran in the early 1950s , the book portrays it as having been variously driven by the fear of annoying the British , or attempting to be an honest broker , or as being motivated by efforts to stop the spread of Communism . The fact ( stated at the end of the book ) that US companies were granted the majority of the oil concessions from the Shah ' s government after the coup , does not feature significantly in the earlier part of the narrative . However , that this was the chief reason for the coup is the tacit conclusion of the book . The British critic David Pryce - Jones takes strong issue with this conclusion in his essay " A Very Elegant Coup " ( link below ) . In his view , the attempted Communist takeover of Iran was the chief issue , and the portrayal of the CIA by Kinzer as ' arrogant , thuggish and immoral ' was originally a notion put forward by leftists who sympathized with the attempt .

Tantonville Airfield Tantonville Airfield is an abandoned World War II United States Army Air Forces military airfield in France , which was located in the Département de Meurthe - et - Moselle approximately north of Mirecourt and south - southeast of Neuves - Maisons . History . The airfield was constructed by the IX Engineer Command as a temporary facility , with a 5000 ' x 120 ' all weather pierced steel planking ( PSP ) runway , aligned 01 / 19 . In addition the airfield contained a large parking apron , as well as for dispersal sites . Tents were used for billeting and also for support facilities ; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure ; a dump for supplies , ammunition , and gasoline drums , along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting . It was known as Tantonville Airfield or Advanced Landing Ground Y - 1 and released to Ninth Air Force on 25 December 1944 . The XIX Tactical Air Command 100th Fighter Wing 371st Fighter Group moved onto the field even before it was officially completed on 20 December , with three squadrons of P - 47 Thunderbolts . They remained until 15 February until moving east . The Twelfth Air Force 86th Fighter Group and its 525th , 526th , and 527th Squadrons operated P - 47 Thunderbolt s from the airfield between late February to mid - April 1945 before moving east to a captured Luftwaffe airfield at Braunshardt , Germany ( Y - 72 ) near Darmstadt . After the 86th moved out the airfield was manned by the 98th Service Squadron . It was used as a resupply and casualty evacuation airfield for the balance of the war . It was then dismantled and the land returned to civil authorities on 11 May 1945 . The area where Tantonville Airfield was constructed is now an agricultural area , although the ground still shows evidence of its runway and parking apron .
Caspar U . 1 The Caspar U . 1 ( sometimes known as the Caspar - Heinkel U . 1 ) was a 1920s German patrol seaplane designed by Ernst Heinkel and built by Caspar - Werke . The U . 1 was designed to fit into a cylindrical container to allow it to be carried , then launched from a submarine . Development . The U . 1 was designed to meet a requirement to fit inside a cylindrical container long with a diameter of ; this allowed the aircraft to be carried by a submarine . To reduce the time to launch the aircraft , it was built as a cantilever biplane to remove the need to rig struts and wires on assembly . The U . 1 had two single - step floats and was powered by a front - mounted Siemens radial piston engine . The pilot had an open cockpit behind the upper wing which gave a clear view forward . It is claimed that during tests , four men could remove the U . 1 from the container and erect it in 1 minute 3 seconds . Two aircraft were bought by the United States Navy for evaluation ; these were delivered to NAS Anacostia in late 1922 , and were tested during 1923 ; one of the aircraft was lost over the course of the test program .
