Lucius Minucius Basilus Lucius Minucius Basilus ( died 43 BC ) was a military commander and politician of the late Roman Republic , a trusted associate of Julius Caesar , who later participated in Caesar ' s assassination . It was to Basilus that Cicero wrote his first excited note after hearing of the successful assassination of Caesar . In the notes to Cicero ' s " Selected Letters " , Basilus is described : L . Minucius Basilus had been a prominent officer , probably a " legatus " under Caesar in Gaul , and apparently served also in the civil war . He was , however , mortally offended because Caesar would not give him a province after his praetorship in 45 BC , but only a sum of money in return for his services , and so joined the conspiracy against him . In 43 BC he was killed by some of his own slaves whom he had punished by mutilation . He should probably be distinguished from L . Minucius Basilus , who took the name ( instead of M . Satrius ) on his adoption by a rich uncle , [ and ] mentioned as assuming by force the position of " patronus " over certain towns in Italy . L . Basilus , a military leader and praetor who was denied a provincial command , was insulted that Caesar tried to placate him with money , causing him to join the conspiracy .

Marine Expeditionary Brigade A Marine Expeditionary Brigade ( MEB ) is a formation of the United States Marine Corps , a Marine Air - Ground Task Force of approximately 14 , 500 Marines and Sailors constructed around a reinforced infantry regiment , a composite Marine aircraft group , a logistics group and a command element . The MEB , commanded by a general officer ( usually a Major General or sometimes a Brigadier General ) , is task - organized to meet the requirements of a specific situation . It can function as part of a joint task force , as the lead echelon of the Marine Expeditionary Force ( MEF ) , or alone . It varies in size and composition , and is larger than a Marine Expeditionary Unit ( MEU ) but smaller than a MEF . The MEB is capable of conducting missions across the full range of military operations . In 2013 Maj . Gen . Frank McKenzie stated that as part of the 2013 QDR , the MEB would now become more independent of support from the MEF , as part of a plan to deactivate MEF2 . Historical MEBs . The following MEBs were deployed operationally :

Iris hut The Iris hut is a prefabricated steel structure used by the British military predominantly during the early part of the Second World War . It is constructed of a clamped tubular steel frame with a central entrance . The hut ' s mode of construction and dimensions are similar to that of the Romney hut , as was its purpose ; both were used to accommodate facilities for which abnormal roof spans were required . On some airfields , two or more Romney or Iris huts would be erected to accommodate large stores and workshops . However , the Iris hut had a major design flaw ; it was unable to resist the weight of snow lying on the roof and had a tendency to collapse after snowfalls . For this reason , it was superseded by the Romney hut by 1941 . Surviving Iris huts are now rare due to their fragility but six original examples ( along with six Romney huts ) are still located at the Central Ordnance Depot Bicester , part of the British Ministry of Defence ' s Logistic Services Bicester facility . The Bicester huts were completed by July 1944 , by which time the design had been almost entirely phased out elsewhere . They were needed in connection with Operation Bolero , the build - up of US forces in Britain for the campaign in Europe , which aimed to accommodate 1 , 446 , 000 US service personnel on British soil by 30 April 1944 . It resulted in " the greatest expansion of military infrastructure ever to occur in British history . " The troops were accommodated in wide Nissen huts and their stores and workshops in wide Iris huts , manufactured in Britain from billet steel imported from the United States . The huts at Bicester became surplus to requirements following the withdrawal of the bulk of the US forces in early 1946 and most were demolished during the 1960s . It is unclear what the Iris huts were used for , but the presence of ventilated panels suggests that they were used to store flammable goods . Iris huts were also used as accommodation in the tunnels of Gibraltar , where they were situated in chambers excavated under the Rock of Gibraltar .

Archer - class patrol vessel The " Archer " class ( or P2000 ) is a class of patrol and training vessels in service with the British Royal Navy , commonly referred to as a " Fast Training Boat " . Most are assigned to University Royal Naval Unit s , although HMS " Tracker " and HMS " Raider " are armed and provide maritime force protection to high value shipping in the Firth of Clyde . History . Ten vessels were ordered as the P2000 class , based on a design of an Omani coastguard cutter , from Watercraft Marine . They are twin - shaft vessels with moulded glass - reinforced plastic hulls . After that company went into liquidation , the balance of the order was completed by Vosper Thornycroft . The " Archers " were initially used as Royal Navy patrol craft and as training tenders for the Royal Naval Reserve ( RNR ) and University Royal Naval Unit s ( URNU ) . Four identical vessels were ordered for the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service ( RNXS ) as " Example " - class tenders . When that service was disbanded in 1994 , the " Examples " were transferred to the Royal Navy for similar duties as their " Archer " - class brethren ( under the same names under which they served as " XSVs " , all of which begin with the first syllable " Ex " ) . Until 2005 , the 4 " Examples " were still painted with a black hull . In 1998 two additional vessels ( " Raider " and " Tracker " ) of this design were commissioned into the Royal Navy from Ailsa Shipbuilding Company , to replace " Loyal Watcher " and " Loyal Chancellor " as URNU training vessels to the two newest URNUs , serving Bristol and Oxford Universities respectively . This brought the total of " Archer " class vessels in the Royal Navy to 16 , of which 14 form the 1st Patrol Boat Squadron ( formerly the Inshore Training Squadron ) , each one attached to an URNU ( one per unit ) under the command of a Lieutenant . The remaining 2 vessels ( " Pursuer " and " Dasher " ) , having formed the Cyprus Squadron from 2003 to 2010 , and URNU vessels before that , returned to the UK in April 2010 to form the Faslane Patrol Boat Squadron , performing security duties within HMNB Clyde . In 2012 " Dasher " and " Pursuer " were replaced by " Raider " and " Tracker " - these can be identified by a number of pintle - mounted L7 7 . 62 mm GPMG machine gun s and armour plating . " Ranger " and " Trumpeter " were also formerly allocated to the Gibraltar Squadron for guard ship and search and rescue duties , but were replaced by the dedicated " Scimitar " class . These two ships were also used during the Thames River Pageant , escorting the Royal Barge during the Queens Diamond Jubilee . Unlike the remainder of the class , both these ships remain capable of being mounted with a 20 mm cannon on the fo ' c ' sle . The NATO designation of a P2000 is " PBR " , denoting a " Patrol Boat - Riverine and Harbours " .

Treaty of Dardanos The Treaty of Dardanos ( 85 BC ) was a treaty between Rome and Pontus signed between Lucius Cornelius Sulla of Rome , and King Mithridates of Pontus . It ended the First Mithridatic War . After the defeats of Mithridates by Sulla in the battles of Chaeronea , Orchomenus , and the sea battle of Tenedos ; as well as Sulla forcing the islands of Greece to submit to Rome , the political tension in Rome during the Social Wars caused Sulla to demand terms from Mithridates . The treaty was held at the ruined city of Dardanus to negotiate the final terms of surrender . The terms were that Mithridates must surrender his newly conquered territories on the Greek mainland and islands , as well as the provinces of Bithynia , Phrygia , Paphlagonia , and Cappadocia . As well , Mithridates must pay the amount of two thousand talents from his personal wealth . Sulla also condemned the provinces which Mithridates surrendered to pay an additional twenty thousand talents ( equivalent to the export production for two decades ) .
Hywel ab Edwin Hywel ab Edwin ( died 1044 ) was king of Deheubarth in south Wales from 1033 . Hywel was the son of Edwin ab Einion and great - grandson of Hywel Dda . When the previous king , Rhydderch ap Iestyn , who had usurped the throne , died in 1033 Hywel became king of Deheubarth , sharing the realm with his brother Maredudd . On Maredudd ' s death in 1035 , Hywel became sole king . He came under increasing pressure from Viking raids and from Gruffydd ap Llywelyn who had already seized the throne of Gwynedd . In 1042 Hywel won a victory over a host of Danish marauders near Carmarthen but that year or in 1043 he was driven out of his kingdom by Gruffydd . He returned in 1044 with the aid of a Danish fleet to try to reclaim his kingdom , but Gruffydd defeated them in a battle near the mouth of the River Towy , killing Hywel .
Three - star rank An officer of three - star rank is a very senior commander in many of the armed services holding a rank described by the NATO code of OF - 8 . The term is also used by some armed forces which are not NATO members . Typically , three - star officers hold the rank of vice admiral , lieutenant general , or in the case of those air forces with a separate rank structure , air marshal . Official rank insignia for Australian ' three - star ' officers do not use stars in the same fashion as the United States ( the RAN does incorporate stars into the hardboard rank insignia for flag - rank officers but this is in conjunction with other devices ) . Unofficial star rank insignia ( such as that worn by Lieutenant General Leahy in the accompanying image ) are sometimes worn when serving with ( or visiting ) other military organisations in order to facilitate equivalent rank recognition . Australian three - star ranks . The Chiefs of all three services within the Australian Defence Force ( ADF ) hold three - star rank as well as three joint positions : Vice Chief of Defence Force ( VCDF ) , Chief of Joint Operations ( CJOPS ) and Chief Capability Development Group ( CCDG ) . Canadian three - maple - leaf ranks . Three maple leaves appear with St . Edward ' s crown and crossed sabre and baton . Prince Charles holds the rank of vice - admiral in an honorary capacity . Before unification , the rank of air marshal was the three - star equivalent for the RCAF . An Army or Marine Corps lieutenant general typically commands a corps - sized unit ( 20 , 000 to 45 , 000 soldiers ) , while an Air Force lieutenant general commands a large Numbered Air Force consisting of several wings . Additionally , lieutenant generals of all services serve as high - level staff officers at various major command headquarters and the Pentagon , often as the heads of their departments . Russia and the USSR . In the Russian and Soviet armies , the three - star rank is lieutenant general ( Russian : " генерал - лейтенант " ) , although his insignia is two stars . This title also applies to three star officers of the air force , MVD , police and militia , internal troops , FSB / KGB , border guards and some others . In the navy , the three star rank is vice - admiral ( вице - адмирал ) .
USS Wingina ( YTB - 395 ) USS " Wingina " ( YTB - 395 ) was initially laid down as District Harbor Tug YT - 395 but was re - classified while still under construction as District Harbor Tug , Large YTB - 395 . After her commissioning , she served in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1980 . The " Wingina " was assigned to the Pacific Fleet , 13th Naval District at the Bremerton Navy Yard in Puget Sound , Washington . She served there until shortly after the end of World War II when , like many surplus vessels she was placed out of service and moved to the reserve fleet . " Wingina " was berthed at the Columbia River Group of the Pacific Reserve Fleet at Astoria , Oregon until she was reactivated in 1947 . In February 1962 , she was redesignated a second time , as District Harbor Tug , Medium YTM - 415 . For a brief time — June 1964 to March 1965 — " Wingina " was carried on the naval vessel register as being in " active " status , but as a " redesignated activity craft " . At the end of that period , she was reclassified back to " active , in service " , a status in which she operated in the 13th Naval District providing pilotage , tug and tow services , and waterfront fire protection , well into 1979 . Placed out of service again in late 1979 or early 1980 , " Wingina " remained berthed in reserve until the end of 1985 . On 31 December 1985 , she was sticken from the Navy List and was sold for commercial service on 16 December 1986 . She was renamed " Murph " by her new owners . In October 2007 , she was stripped and scuttled ( illegally ) in Quartermaster Harbor , Maury Island , Washington . She is presently listed on the Washington Department of Natural Resources list as a derelict / abandoned vessel . The State of Washington would like to clear the wreck as she remains a navigational hazard ; her mast is only three feet beneath the surface and her funnel is visible above the surface at low tide . Two navigational buoys mark her position warning away maratime traffic . In the meantime , she remains a popular wreck dive given her shallow depth and ease of access .
