Siege of Pärnu The Siege of Pärnu ( Polish : " Parnawa " ) took place between February 28 and March 2 , 1609 during the Polish – Swedish War ( 1600 – 1611 ) . The Polish - Lithuanian hetman Jan Karol Chodkiewicz , while resting his forces in Birże ( " Biržai " ) , learned of Swedish deployments from Pärnu ( present day Estonia ) moving towards Daugavgrīva ( in present day Latvia ) and set out to cut these off . However the Swedish units managed to enter Daugavgrīva before Chodkiewicz ' s arrival and as a result the hetman turned back and moved towards Pärnu , hoping to take the defenders there under command of Daniel von Wochen by surprise . Chodkiewicz ' s forces arrived on February 28 , 1609 but when his troops tried to creep up to the city ' s walls unnoticed the Swedish garrison fired their cannons which established that a surprise attack was not going to work . Chodkiewicz then , feigning a withdrawal , hid his forces in nearby woods forbidding his soldiers to even light camp fires , despite the freezing cold of the Estonian winter . After a night ' s wait he raised his troops and marched them back against the city and this time managed to surprise the defenders . The Polish - Lithuanian miners blew up three of the main gates of the city and Lithuanian troops fought their way to the city ' s center . When the Polish troops began setting fire to the gate of the town ' s fortress , to which the remaining Swedish troops had withdrawn , the Swedish garrison threw the keys to the gate out of the window as a signal of surrender . About half of the Swedish forces , mostly Scottish mercenaries , subsequently switched sides and joined Chodkiewicz ' s troops . After capturing the city , Chodkiewicz left 200 infantry in Pärnu , and began a march towards Riga ( then in Polish hands ) which was threatened with a siege by the Swedes . On the way however , he attacked Salacgrīva ( Salis ) which turned into a semi - naval battle and the next major engagement of the conflict . Charles IX of Sweden later accused Daniel von Wochen of collaborating with the Poles which he believed , was the reason for the surrender . Wochen was then arrested , sentenced to death and executed .

During the latter stages of the war , the division was composed of members from most of Germany ' s geographic areas and a large number of German - speaking Walloons ( Belgian / French ) . Today , 6 , 000 men are still unaccounted for . Background . The main purpose of the German Jäger Divisions was to fight in adverse terrain where smaller , coordinated units were more facilely combat capable than the brute force offered by the standard infantry divisions . The Jäger divisions were more heavily equipped than mountain divisions , but not as well armed as a larger infantry division . In the early stages of the war , they were the interface divisions fighting in rough terrain and foothills as well as urban areas , between the mountains and the plains . The Jägers ( means " hunters " in German ) relied on a high degree of training , and slightly superior communications , as well as their not inconsiderable artillery support . In the middle stages of the war , as the standard infantry divisions were down sized , the Jäger model with two infantry regiments came to dominate the standard tables of organization . In 1943 , Adolf Hitler declared that all infantry divisions were now Grenadier Divisions except for his elite Jäger and Mountain Jäger divisions . Operational history . Initially established in December 1940 as the 100th Light Infantry Division , the unit was raised in Upper Austria , and based in Ried . The 54th Jäger Regiment was attached from the 18th Infantry .

Its first campaign was in the Battle of Uman , followed by action at Kiev and Odessa . In October , the 369th Reinforced Croatian Infantry Regiment was attached to the division to bolster its size when attacking the Eastern Front . The formation was the only German Jäger Division that fought at the Battle of Stalingrad . The 100th Light Infantry Division , along with the 369th Reinforced Croatian Infantry Regiment , was virtually destroyed at Stalingrad . The 100th Jäger Division was reestablished and fought partisans in the Balkans , Croatia , Albania , and was deployed on coastal protection missions in the Strait of Otranto .

Mobile Public Affairs Detachment A Mobile public affairs detachment , or MPAD , is a type of unit found in the United States Army . Background . A mobile public affairs detachment is a modular , task organizable unit that normally augments a corps public affairs section or a press camp headquarters ( PCH ) . In support of a PCH , it provides manpower and equipment to establish and operate a media center at theater army , TAACOM and corps levels . The MPAD is commanded by a major and includes 20 soldiers . These soldiers typically include one first sergeant , three captains , seven broadcast journalists ( Military Occupational Specialty 46R ) , and eight print journalists ( MOS 46Q ) . The journalists range in rank from private ( E - 2 ) , to sergeant first class ( E - 7 ) . However , a recent change to the units MTOE allows an MPAD to contain all ranks from ( E - 5 ) through ( E - 8 ) . Mission . MPADs are charged with gathering and distributing media to both internal and external audiences . They may be expected to produce either a newspaper , magazine , or a newscast . MPADs also serve to facilitate civilian media of all nationalities . They ensure the Army ' s policy of " maximum disclosure , minimum delay " is upheld . This is accomplished with press releases , response to queries , and by aiding media with travel , lodging , meals , and internet or phone connectivity . In addition , both the Army print and broadcast journalists within the MPAD distribute high quality video footage and print stories from their area of deployment to news organizations all over the world . Many of these are then used by these media organizations in their broadcasts and publications . The MPAD also records archival combat footage . Much of this footage is later used in civilian news or documentary programs . On occasion , an MPAD will take on media related missions which are not necessarily within their doctrinal parameters . An example of this occurred during Operation Iraqi Freedom II , when the 122nd MPAD , commanded by Major John Fuhrman , helped to train and organize pro - democracy journalists within the metropolitan area of Baghdad , Iraq . Whatever their mission , MPAD units represent an invaluable tool for division , corps or even theater commanders who are able to significantly augment their organic public affairs assets . Although often an independent and separately attached unit , the MPAD often falls within the authority of the division , corps or theater public affairs officer depending on which of these echelons they are attached to while deployed . Active duty units . There are currently four active duty MPADs . The 22nd MPAD is stationed in Fort Bragg , North Carolina , and until recently was the only active duty MPAD . The three newest MPADs were created to assist in the wake of September 11 , 2001 and the Global War on Terror . They are the 5th MPAD , stationed in Fort Lewis , Washington , the 7th MPAD , stationed in Fort Hood , Texas , and the 16th MPAD , stationed in Fort Bliss , Texas . Army Reserve units . There are 16 MPADs in the Army Reserve .
