Ansar ( military ) Anṣâr ( , meaning " aiders , or patrons " ) refer to a class of warriors who are renowned for their arsenal of weapons and for their speed and mobility on the battlefield . The quality of the Arabian horses quickly led to these soldiers dominating the battlefield , making ample use of their array of weaponry , which consisted of javelins , a sword , and bow and arrows . The one military unit that was present in nearly all of the Arabic expansion of the 7th to 9th centuries was the Anṣâr Warrior . These warriors participated as infantry , but most commonly rode on horseback and were famed to be the greatest horsemen / infantry of their time . Origin . The Anṣâr were recruited mostly from Mesopotamia and Arabia . They were the most important elements in the later Islamic campaigns against both the Sassanid and Byzantine Empire s . The Muslim inhabitants of Medina who welcomed Muhammad and the other Meccan Muslims when they migrated to Medina from Mecca ( in an event known as the Hijra ) are also known as Anṣâr . The Sahaba s , or companions of Muhammad , are divided into two categories ; of Muhajirun , people who fled from Mecca ; and the Anṣâr , those who welcomed and took in the Muhajirun . The Anṣâr are vital to Islamic history because they took the fledgling Muslim community in and joined it themselves , turning Islam into a city - state power . In Medina , each Anṣâr family took in a member of the Muhajirun and offered them a place to stay and protection . Known for their piety and courage , some famous Anṣârs are Muath bin Jabal Al - anṣâri and Sa ' ad bin Ubaadah , Sa ' ad ' s great great grandchildren were the Nasrids kings of Granada in Spain from the 13th century to the 15th century . In the 19th Century the term was associated with the followers of the Mahdi and Osman Digna in the Sudan who fought against Anglo - Egyptian forces in a series of wars at the close of the century . Ansar is the name of the Sufi sect of disciples of the Mahdi . Various political and military groupings in Arab and Muslim countries continue to use the name up to the present , seeking to emulate the famed ancient warriors . Bangladesh Ansar . Bangladesh Ansar is a para - military organization of Village Guards in Bangladesh . Mostly a voluntary force , it recruits mainly from farmers and artisans and its main objective is to aid the Regular Armed Forces and Police Force in War , insurgency or anti - crime drives .

After the start of the Second Sino - Japanese War , the Japanese Fourth Army was raised again as a garrison force to guard the northern borders of Manchukuo against possible incursions by the Soviet Red Army . It was based at Bei ' an , the capital of a northern Manchukuo province of the same name , that was heavily fortified with various ground emplacements . The Fourth Army afterwards came under the operational command of the Japanese First Area Army under the overall command of the Kwantung Army . As the war situation in the southeast Asia and China fronts of World War II worsened against the Japanese , experienced men and equipment were siphoned off from the Fourth Army to reinforce other units , leaving it largely hollowed out by the start of 1945 . During the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the final days of World War II , the Japanese Fourth Army was no match for the experienced , battle - hardened Soviet armored and mechanized infantry divisions , who quickly overran or circumvented the Japanese defenses , and its poorly - equipped and poorly trained forces were driven back to Harbin by the time of the surrender of Japan . Many of its surviving troops became Japanese POWs in the Soviet Union .

AN / PRC - 148 The AN / PRC - 148 Multiband Inter / Intra Team Radio ( MBITR ) is the most widely fielded handheld multiband , tactical software - defined radio , in use with NATO forces around the world . The radio is built by Thales Communications , a subsidiary of the Thales Group . The designation AN / PRC translates to Army / Navy Portable Radio used for two way Communications , according to Joint Electronics Type Designation System guidelines . The MBITR was developed by USSOCOM and Thales Communications in the 1990s and went into production in 2000 , to address the need for a secure multiband handheld radio . As the US Army realized the benefits of the system it began wider deployment with Stryker Combat Teams and then with troops deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan . As of August 2007 , 100 , 000 MBITRs have been fielded , over 31 , 000 of which are in use by the US Army . Variants . AN / PRC - 148 JTRS Enhanced MBITR ( JEM ) . The standard AN / PRC - 148 MBITR can be seamlessly upgraded to the AN / PRC - 148 V3 / V4 JEM , which is the first radio to be JTRS Software Communications Architecture 2 . 2 compliant . The radio is upgraded by replacing the front panel and COMSEC control hardware assemblies . The radio is in production and has been fielded with USSOCOM . AN / PRC - 6809 MBITR Clear . The AN / PRC - 6809 MBITR Clear is a variant of the MBITR , made available without encryption . While the PRC - 148 includes US Type 1 capabilities in all versions , the PRC - 6809 uses Level III DES , making it available to police , firefighters , and militaries unable to obtain ITAR approval . Interoperability . The MBITR can communicate with the following devices : Replacement . While the JEM has passed government certification , it is an evolutionary platform , and not fully compatible with all specifications of JTRS . The fully compatible system is the JTRS HMS , ( Handheld , Manpack and Small form - fit ) being developed by General Dynamics , and expected to be introduced in 2010 . Thales Communications , BAE Systems , and Rockwell Collins are all prime subcontractors . The HMS is expected to be an integral part in the US Army ' s Future Combat Systems program . Competition . The MBITR ' s primary competition comes from Harris Corporation ' s AN / PRC - 152 software defined radio , which has also received SCA and NSA certification .
