Baiju Baiju was a Mongol commander in Persia ( fl . 1230 - 1260 , also known as Bayju Noyon or Baichu ) appointed by Ögedei Khan to succeed Chormagan , and expand Mongol power further in that area . Baiju took over command in 1241 or 1242 , and immediately moved against the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm , shattering its power at the Battle of Köse Dag in 1243 . After this battle , the Sultanate became a vassal state of the Mongol empire and was forced to release David VI Narin . He installed his protégé David Narin to the throne of Georgia to oppose Queen Rusudan ' s decision . However , the Mongols had few forces in the area , and were content to maintain their vassals with punitive raids . Baiju led Mongol tumens to raid Syria in 1246 . Despite his small successes there , his next two attempts to invade the Abbasid Caliphate in Iraq met less success in 1238 - 1246 . At the end of the regency following Ögedei ' s death , however , Baiju was replaced by the new khan Güyük with Eljigidei in 1246 , but Eljigidei and his entire family were purged in the accession of Möngke Khan in 1251 or 1252 . Under Baiju in the 1240s and 1250s , the Mongols retained their power in what is roughly modern - day Iran , and tolerated the independence of the Sultanate , Georgia , and petty states in Iran as clients , interfering with dynastic succession and extracting tribute militarily as necessary . However , the Abbasids in Baghdad and the Assassins in the Elbruz mountains maintained their independence until the coming of Hulegu , Möngke ' s brother , in 1255 . Baiju was supposedly reproached by Hulegu for failing to extend Mongol power further , and , indeed , was replaced by him as supreme commander as early as 1255 , but served under him ably in further campaigns : against the Sultanate of Rum ( to extract tribute and replace the sultan ) in 1256 , in the assault on Baghdad in 1258 , and in the advance on Syria towards Egypt in 1259 . It is unclear what happened to Baiju after that : when the Mongol force was heavily depleted by the departure of Hulegu in 1260 , the force that remained was commanded by Kitbuqa . According to Rashid al - Din , Baiju was executed by Hülegü khan due to Golden Horde corps fleeing from Persia to Russia and Mamluks . And his office was given to Chormaqan ' s son Shiremun .

Bureau of Ordnance The Bureau of Ordnance ( BuOrd ) was the U . S . Navy ' s organization responsible for the procurement , storage , and deployment of all naval ordnance , between the years 1862 and 1959 . History . Congress established the Bureau in the Department of the Navy by an act of July 5 , 1862 ( 12 Stat . 510 ) , which transferred the hydrographic functions of the Navy ' s Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography ( 1842 - 1862 ) to the newly established Bureau of Navigation . During the early 20th century , BuOrd became involved in the development of aerial weapons . This often led to friction with the Bureau of Aeronautics ( BuAer ) , which had responsibility for the development of Naval aircraft . BuAer ' s work on " pilotless aircraft , " or drones , conflicted with BuOrd ' s development of guided missile s . After World War II , the Navy examined ways to improve coordination between the two bureaus ; ultimately , the decision was made to merge the two organizations into a new bureau , to be known as the Bureau of Naval Weapons ( BuWeps ) . BuOrd was disestablished by Congress by an act of August 18 , 1959 ( ) , and its functions were transferred to the newly established Bureau of Naval Weapons . BuAir merged with BuOrd to form BuWeps . BuWeps , in turn , was disestablished in 1966 when the Navy overhauled its material organization , and was replaced with the Naval Air Systems Command ( NAVAIR ) . Other system commands included the Naval Ship Systems Command and the Naval Ordnance Systems Command . Ship and Submarine ordnance functions fell under the new Naval Ordnance Systems Command while Air Ordnance stayed with the Naval Air Systems Command . In July 1974 , the Naval Ordnance Systems Command and Naval Ships Systems Command merged to form the Naval Sea Systems Command . Traditional Naval Ordnance functions are now conducted at the Naval Surface Warfare Center which falls under the command of Naval Sea Systems Command .
