Michael Doukeianos Michael III Doukeianos ( ; Dulchiano in Italian ) , called " the Young " , was the catepan of Italy from 1040 to 1041 . He replaced Nikephoros Doukeianos . His first major act was to offer the rule of Melfi to the Greek - speaking Lombard Arduin with the title " topoterites " . However , Arduin soon betrayed him and led his Norman mercenaries in support of the Apulian rebellion of Argyrus . On March 16 , 1041 , near Venosa , on the Olivento , he met the Lombard - Norman army but was defeated . This was followed by another battle at Montemaggiore , near Cannae , a field that had served as the site for the famous battle of 216 BC and the first Norman engagement in the Mezzogiorno in 1018 . Though the catepan had called up a large Varangian force from Bari , the battle was a rout and many of Michael ' s soldiers drowned in the Ofanto on the retreat . Doukeianos was transferred to Sicily , which the Normans had just prior abandoned during the expedition of George Maniakes . He was replaced by Exaugustus Boioannes after September 1041 .
John A . Dramesi Colonel John Arthur Dramesi ( born February 12 , 1933 ) is a retired U . S . Air Force officer who was held as a prisoner of war at the Hanoi Hilton in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War . Dramesi is one of only four members of the USAF to be twice awarded the Air Force Cross , the first for the mission on which he was shot down and captured , 2 April 1967 , and the second for the six month period following his second escape and recapture , from May to November 1969 , when he was beaten and tortured . He also received an award of the Silver Star for gallantry during an escape on 10 May 1967 and the month following his recapture , when he also beaten and tortured . Dramesi is one of the very few captives who never broke under torture . He was held along with Senator John McCain and has criticized McCain ' s conduct as a prisoner and after release . McCain would later hail him as " one of the toughest guys I ' ve ever met . " Dramesi has also criticized the conduct of a number of his fellow POWs . Dramesi was born in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania on 22 February 1933 and grew up in Blackwood , a neighborhood in Gloucester Township , New Jersey . " He graduated from Rutgers University and its Air Force ROTC program in 1956 , and was trained as a fighter pilot flying first F - 100 Super Sabre s and then F - 105 Thunderchief s . He was shot down over North Vietnam and captured on 1 April 1967 . While a prisoner , Dramesi twice attempted to escape , without success . On the second occasion , his partner , Edwin Atterbury , was killed , and the entire prison population was subjected to " barbaric " reprisals . Plans for a third escape attempt , to be assisted by Navy SEALs in Operation Thunderhead , were cancelled after the SEALs were injured , and one killed , when jumping from a helicopter . Dramesi was released in 1973 . Following his release , he continued his career in the Air Force , serving as a planner for U . S . forces in Europe , commander of the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron , flying the F - 111F Aardvark , and as commander of the 509th Bomb Wing ( Strategic Air Command ) , Pease Air Force Base , New Hampshire . While the commander of the 390th TFS , his autobiography , " Code of Honor " which was initially published in 1975 and again in 1990 . He retired in 1982 with the rank of colonel . Dramesi ran as a Republican for the Congressional seat held by James Florio in 1982 , and switched parties in 1990 to run in the Democratic primary to fill Florio ' s then - vacant seat following his election as Governor of New Jersey .
Warrant Officer of the Air Force Warrant Officer of the Air Force ( WOFF - AF ) is the most senior Warrant Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) . It is a singular appointment – it is only held by one person at any time . The special insignia for the WOFF - AF is the Australian coat of arms with a wreath around it .

Maryland National Guard Overseas Service Ribbon The Maryland National Guard Overseas Service Ribbon is an award in the state of Maryland bestowed upon members of the Maryland National Guard who serve outside the United States on foreign soil for at least 30 consecutive or 45 cumulative days , either for training or contingency operations .
Gallant Unit Citation The Gallant Unit Citation ( GUC ) , a United States Air Force unit award , was approved in March 2004 and is awarded to any Air Force unit which distinguishes itself by extraordinary heroism while engaged in armed combat with an enemy force on or after 11 September 2001 . Award Description . The GUC requires a lesser degree of gallantry , determination and esprit de corps than that required for the Presidential Unit Citation ( PUC ) . The unit must have performed with marked distinction under difficult and hazardous conditions in accomplishing its mission so as to set it apart from and above other units participating in the same conflict . The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Silver Star to an individual . The GUC will normally be earned by units that have participated in single or successive actions covering relatively brief time spans . Only on rare occasions will a unit larger than a group qualify for the GUC . Extended periods of combat duty or participation in a large number of operational missions , either air or ground , is not sufficient . Additional awards of the Gallant Unit Citation are denoted by oak leaf clusters . Cited units . The only units to date that have received this award are the 352d Special Operations Group , the 332d Air Expeditionary Group , the 16th Operations Group ( redesignated as the 1st Special Operations Group in 2006 ) , and the 720th Special Tactics Group , as well as units subordinate to each during the cited time frame .
II Battle Squadron The II Battle Squadron was a unit of the German High Seas Fleet before and during World War I . The squadron saw action throughout the war , including the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916 , where it formed the rear of the German line .
M1885 Remington - Lee The M1885 Remington - Lee ( also known as the M1885 Lee , and " Navy M1885 " ) is a bolt action , box magazine repeating rifle designed principally by James Paris Lee . It first appeared in 1879 , manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company . Eventually Remington took over production and produced copies in . 45 - 70 . Arguably the most modern rifle in the world until the introduction of the 8mm smokeless powder using Lebel M1886 rifle , the Lee utilized the first successful box magazine , unlike the Lebel which still used a tube magazine . The design was incorporated by the British into the Lee - Metford and Lee - Enfield rifles , thereby becoming one of the most widely used rifle designs of the 20th century . Remington ' s version saw only limited use by the U . S . Navy and was passed up in favor of the Krag - Jørgensen by the U . S . Army in 1892 . New Zealand purchased 500 for its militia in 1887 . These were chambered in Remington ' s . 43 Spanish ( 11 . 15x58mmR ) caliber . These were quickly replaced after complaints about ammunition quality .
Western Allies The Western Allies were a political and geographic grouping among the Allied Powers of the First World War and Second World War . It generally includes the British Empire , the United States , France and various other European and Latin America n countries , but excludes China , the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union , and the Kingdom of Serbia and Kingdom of Montenegro and their successor state , Yugoslavia due to different economic , geographic and political circumstances , some of which arose after the wars . Similarly , Poland and Czechoslovakia are often excluded from the term , because of their post - war forced inclusion in the Eastern Bloc , even though Polish and Czechoslovak armed forces fought alongside Western Allies ( Poland fought against Germany before any of the Western Allies joined the war ) . Most African and Asian allies not part of the British Commonwealth or France are often excluded from the term , though irregular Arabian and Ethiopian forces fought along the Western Allies . France is also often counted among the Western Allies , because although the Vichy Regime collaborated with the Axis powers and fought the Allies , the Free French military forces played a major role against the Axis Powers throughout the war , similarly to many nations that endured military occupation and collaboration . After the Second World War , some of the territory of the defeated Axis powers came under occupation by the Western Allies . Germany and Austria were divided among American , British , French and Soviet control . In 1949 the American , British and French sectors in Germany became the Federal Republic of Germany , or West Germany , while the Soviet sector became the German Democratic Republic , or East Germany . All four of the Austrian occupation sectors became the Republic of Austria , or Second Austrian Republic . Austria became a neutral state but Italy , West Germany and a mix of wartime Western Allies and some formerly neutral states taking in the United Kingdom , Denmark , Iceland , Portugal , Spain and Greece became the Western Bloc . Canada , the United States , and the European countries among this group formed a military alliance called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , or NATO , to oppose the Eastern Bloc and their military alliance , the Warsaw Pact , which was composed of the wartime Allies Poland , Czechoslovakia , and the Soviet Union , the ex - Axis powers of Bulgaria , East Germany , Hungary and Romania as well as Albania . The conflict between the Eastern and Western Blocs became known as the Cold War . Though initially politically close to the Soviet Union , Albania , China , and Yugoslavia became nonaligned over the course of the Cold War . Cuba , another one of the Allies during World War II , became aligned with the Eastern Bloc after 1959 as did Ethiopia after 1974 .
Shiva Star Shiva Star , originally just SHIVA , is a high - powered pulsed - power research device located at the Air Force Research Laboratory on the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque , New Mexico . The device was originally built in the 1970s for high - power X - ray research , was later re - directed to studies for the Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) , and is now being used for magnetized target fusion research . Shiva Star was named after the Hindu god Shiva , partly because its prototype originally had four " arms " ; it now has six " arms " . Research at Princeton University in using Z - Pinch devices as a potential space propulsion device led to the exploration of the resulting x - ray production . This led directly to the original SHIVA effort in 1971 . In these experiments a thin foil of a " high - Z " metal ( lead , uranium , etc . ) was rapidly compressed magnetically by dumping the output of capacitor banks into magnetic coils . As it was first built in 1974 , SHIVA I consisted of four banks of capacitors arranged in a cross shape with the experimental chamber in the middle . The capacitors held 1 MJ at 100 kV , able to discharge them in 1 μs . Early experiments were hampered by problems with the implosion , but by 1976 successful implosions were being carried out . The capacitor banks were then upgraded to 1 . 9 MJ at 120 kV in 1979 , becoming Shiva II . Another upgrade followed in 1982 , adding two more capacitor banks , thereby changing the shape from a cross to a star , resulting in the current Shiva Star device . Shiva Star was also used as a dense plasma focus driver in the mid - 80s , and as an experimental magnetic driver for conventional projectiles in the late - 80s . Shiva Star was also used to develop an experimental weapon known as MARAUDER for the SDI effort between 1989 and 1995 . The idea appears to have been to create compact toroid s of high - density plasma that would be ejected from the device using a massive magnetic pulse . The plasma projectiles would be shot at a speed expected to be 3000 km / s in 1995 and 10 , 000 km / s ( 3 % of the speed of light ) by 2000 . A shot has the energy of 5 pounds of TNT exploding ; although it caused little or no physical damage , the energy would shower the interior of the target with high - energy x - rays that would potentially destroy the electronics inside . The tests cost a few million dollars a year . The project was scrapped at some time after 1995 because of problems keeping the plasma projectiles stable for the distances required by orbital weaponry . Shiva Star was most recently revived for work in fusion research . A relatively new technique , magnetized target fusion , compresses a small plasma load with an imploding metal foil . Shiva Star ' s 10 MJ capacitor banks were perfect for this role , and starting in 2007 the new FRCHX experiment has been using Shiva Star with 1 mm thick aluminium foil that is accelerated to about 5 km / s .
56th Infantry Regiment ( United States ) The 56th Infantry Regiment was an Regular infantry regiment in the United States Army . History / Lineage . Constituted 15 May 1917 in the Regular Army as the 56th Infantry . Organized 16 June 1917 at Fort Oglethorpe , Georgia from personnel of the 17th Infantry . Assigned to the 7th Infantry Division on 16 November 1917 . During the Meuse - Argonne campaign it was on the left bank of the Moselle , the nearest American organization to Metz , and was preparing to attack towards Metz when the armistice was signed . In April 1919 a Battalion of the 56th entered Metz as an honor guard for the Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Force . The field of the shield is white and black , the same as the arms of Metz , The parent organization is shown on the canton . The crest is a Napoleonic eagle on a mural crown . It differs from that used in the arms of Metz in that the crown is proper instead of gold . For its ' actions during World War I , the regiment was awarded the campaign streamer ' Lorraine 1918 ' . The regiment was inactivated on 21 September 1921 at Camp Meade , Maryland . Disbanded 31 July 1922

Field cornet A field cornet ( ) is a term formerly used in South Africa for either a local government official or a military officer . Originally , the term was used for a civilian official in a local government district ( " Drostdy " ) of the Cape Colony , acting as and invested with the authority of a military officer and empowered to act as a magistrate . The field cornet was subject to the landdrost of the district and acted as his representative . As such , a field cornet performed important functions in administrative , judicial and police matters . In addition , in peacetime the field cornet was the head of the militia and was responsible for maintaining law and order in his area . The term later came to denote a military rank equivalent to that of a lieutenant in the Boer armies as well as in the South African Army between 1960 and 1968 . A second lieutenant was referred to as an " assistant field cornet " .
