The squadron also conducts military operations other than war including civil search and rescue , disaster relief , international aid , emergency medical evacuation , and counter - drug activities . Mission . Since 2003 , the squadron provided rapidly deployable combat search and rescue forces worldwide ; and deployed aircraft and crews in response to national disasters , domestic search and rescue , and MEDEVAC missions . History . Originally , the 55th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron was activated on 14 November 1952 , at Thule Air Force Base , Greenland , and remained there until its inactivation on 18 June 1960 . The squadron was reactivated again at Kindley Air Force Station , Bermuda , on 10 May 1961 . The squadron was relocated to McCoy Air Force Base , Florida ( USA ) in February 1970 , and to Eglin Air Force Base on 3 June 1971 .

Schutzmannschaft Bataillon 118 Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 of Ukrainische Hilfspolizei was a " Schutzmannschaft " battalion formed in the spring of 1942 in Kiev with former Red Army prisoners of war , and 100 men , mostly Ukrainian nationalists from Western Ukraine , who were previously incorporated into the 3rd company , 115th Schutzmannschaft battalion . The commander of the battalion was Sturmbannführer Erich Körner , battalion leader was Hryhorii Vasiura ( tried in 1986 by the Russians ) . The battalion was staffed mainly with Ukrainians , although Russians , Belarusians and Armenians had also served in it . In November 1942 the battalion was transferred to Belarus , where it served until July 1944 . During this time the battalion participated in the German pacification and punitive operations in that area . In 1943 , dozens of policemen of the 118th battalion deserted and joined the UPA in Volyn . In the summer of 1944 , the Germans transferred the battalion to France , where it joined the 115th battalion to form the 63rd Schutzmannschaft Battalion . Police officers from this branch were incorporated into the 30th SS Grenadier Division . In August , these formations deserted and joined French partisans as the 2nd Ukrainian " Taras Shevchenko " battalion of the French Forces of the Interior ( ) . Many former members continued service in the French Foreign Legion after the war . Atrocities and war crimes . Some members of Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 have been accused of committing atrocities and war crimes during World War II . The Khatyn massacre occurred in Khatyn , a village in Belarus , in the Lahojsk district , Minsk Voblast . On March 22 , 1943 , the population of the village was massacred by the Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 . In an article on the Khatyn massacre , Lund University historian Per Anders Rudling , relying on KGB interrogation reports released in 2008 , wrote that the Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 filled a farmer ' s barn with civilians , set it on fire , and used a machine gun to kill the civilians who tried to escape the flames : “ One witness stated that Volodymyr Katriuk was a particularly active participant in the atrocity : he reportedly lay behind the stationary machine gun , firing rounds on anyone attempting to escape the flames ” . A Soviet Union war - crime trial in 1973 heard that three members of the Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 killed a group of Belarusian loggers earlier on that fateful day , suspecting they were part of a popular uprising . " I saw how Ivankiv was firing with a machine - gun upon the people who were running for cover in the forest , and how Katriuk and Meleshko were shooting the people lying on the road , " the witness said . The Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 helped the Germans to create " dead zones " . The dead zone policy involved exterminating Soviet partisans who had launched ambushes against Nazi forces . Personnel . The battalion consisted of 3 companies totalling 500 men , divided in 3 companies , which in turn were divided into 3 platoons each :

She was launched on 20 July 1745 . In 1757 " Tilbury " was under the command of Captain Henry Barnsley , and formed part of Vice Admiral Francis Holburne ' s expedition to capture Louisbourg . The squadron was dispersed by a storm on 24 September , and " Tilbury " was driven onto the rocks . Captain Barnsley and 120 of his crew were drowned , and the survivors became French prisoners , though they were treated well by their captors .
Siege of Hlukhiv The siege of Hlukhiv ( Glukhov , Głuchów ) took place during the Russo - Polish War of 1654 – 1667 . The army of king Jan II Casimir , numbering 50 , 000 men , unsuccessfully besieged the Russo - Ukrainian garrison of Hlukhiv and finally retreated under pressure from the Russian army of prince Grigory Romodanovsky . The siege and the following retreat , during which the Polish army became the target of Russian attacks , proved to be one of the worst defeats in the whole course of war . Background . In November 1663 Jan II Casimir and Hetman of Right - bank Ukraine , Pavlo Teteria , began an offensive against Left - bank Ukraine with an army of 130 , 000 ( including camp followers ) . Without sufficient forces to stop the offensive , Grigory Romodanovsky and Ivan Briukhovetsky retreated to Putyvl . Proceeding almost without resistance , the army of Jan II Casimir ultimately besieged Hlukhiv , which was defended by the Cossacks of the Kievan polkovnik Vasily Dvoretsky and the Russian streltsy of Avraam Lopukhin . Battle . With the help of artillery and explosives the Polish army managed to destroy some parts of the wall . Jan Sobieski personally led the troops during the storming of the town . The Poles entered the town , but blundered into an ambush and came under heavy artillery and musket fire . Having lost about 4 , 000 men , including 200 officers , the Polish army was forced to retreat . Duke Antoine III de Gramont , who at that time was an officer in the army of John II Casimir , reported that the small Russian garrison showed miraculous bravery and excellent artillery skills . Eight days later the King ordered a repeat of the storming . The Polish army once again managed to penetrate the fortress , but the counter - attack of the garrison drove the attackers out of it . De Gramont describes the storming as almost successful but once again expresses his surprise how the Russians recaptured the openings in the walls and how efficiently they fired back in spite of heavy Polish artillery fire aimed at them . The Polish army again experienced heavy losses . Meanwhile , Prince Romodanovsky arrived at Hlukhiv with his army of 45 , 000 Russian soldiers and Cossacks . Simultaneously , many Left - bank Ukraine cities , which had previously surrendered without fighting , rebelled against the Polish occupation . The rebellions also spread into Right - bank Ukraine . Wishing to avoid a great battle , Jan II Casimir lifted the siege . Polish retreat . Pursued by the Russian forces , the Polish army retreated to Novhorod - Siversky . During the retreat , the Poles executed Ivan Bohun , who was suspected of handing over important information to the Hlukhiv garrison . The defence of Hlukhiv ruined the Polish plans of bringing Left - bank Ukraine back under the control of the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth . In the following years , Poland was afflicted with internal conflicts ( Lubomirski ' s Rokosz ) and active fighting on the Polish - Russian front came to an end . Finally , the Treaty of Andrusovo was signed in 1667 , formally ending the armed conflict .
Operation Chequerboard Operation Chequerboard was a high - altitude military exercise conducted by India along the Chinese border in North East India . The exercise was conducted to test Indian military response in the Northeast Himalayan region and the US and Soviet reaction to potential Sino - Indian tensions in the region . The Chinese and Indian armies nearly went to war as both sides patrolled the desolate frontier and skirmishes were not infrequent . The exercise involved 10 divisions of the Indian Army and several squadrons of the IAF and a redeployment of troops at several places in North East India . The Indian Army moved 3 divisions to positions around Wangdung , where they were supplied and maintained solely by air . These troop reinforcements were over and above the 50 , 000 troops already present across Arunachal Pradesh . The military exercise coincided with statements from India ' s Chief of Army Staff Krishnaswamy Sundarji that India recognizes the major boundary differences with China and Indian deployments are intended to give Beijing the benefit of the doubt .

Hugh Feeney Hugh Feeney ( born 1951 ) was a volunteer of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who , together with Dolours Price and Marian Price , organised the car bomb ings of the Old Bailey and Scotland Yard on March 8 , 1973 . He and ten members of his 11 - man active service unit ( ASU ) were apprehended attempting to board a flight to Ireland shortly after the bombs were discovered . Arrest , conviction , and imprisonment . Feeney was convicted on November 14 , 1973 and sentenced to life imprisonment for each of the four bombing charges against him which were to run concurrently . The other members of his group were sentenced to life imprisonment as well as an additional twenty years . Feeney and other members of the group were incarcerated in Brixton Prison , and participated in a 205 day hunger strike with the goal of being transferred closer to their homes in Northern Ireland . Feeney and the other hunger strikers were force - fed by British authorities for 167 days of their strike . In May 1974 , Feeney was one of a group of four prisoners whose transfer out of Brixton was demanded anonymously in exchange for the return of $ 19 . 2 million in stolen art . On 4 June 1974 , the IRA kidnapped John Hely - Hutchinson , 7th Earl of Donoughmore and his wife in an unsuccessful attempt to exchange them for the release of Feeney , the Prices , and Gerry Kelly . The prisoners ended their hunger strike on 7 June 1974 . Feeney was transferred to Long Kesh prison soon after the hunger strike ended . During this period he , along with Brendan Hughes , wrote IRA communiqué s and articles for the Republican News under the pen name " Brownie . " Most material published under this pseudonym was , however , written by Gerry Adams . After Adams ' s release , Feeney began writing under the pseudonym " Salon . " Release and later deportation . Feeney was released from custody in 1990 . On 20 May 1991 , Feeney was arrested in New York City and deported the next day for having illegally entered the United States . Feeney was arrested in the offices of " The Irish People " , a republican newspaper published in New York . The arrest was controversial because it involved an FBI agent posing as a journalism student in order to gain access to the paper ' s editorial offices , which was a violation of FBI policy at the time .
Georgian Legion ( 1941 – 45 ) The Georgian Legion ( , , " kartuli legioni " ) was a name of a Georgian military formation within the German army during World War II . Their established aim was the restoration of Georgia ' s independence from the Soviet Union . History . During the Second World War , the Wehrmacht ' s ethnic Georgian Legion was formed from émigrés living in Western Europe after the 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia , combined with Soviet prisoners of war of Georgian origin who were enlisted , while facing certain death from starvation , disease , forced labor and brutality in POW camps . Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 , though they never reached Soviet Georgia . The Georgian Legion was formed in December 1941 . The Georgians trained in western Ukraine and became operational in the autumn of 1942 . At least 30 , 000 Georgians served in the German armed forces during World War II . The Georgians served in thirteen field battalion s of up to 800 men , each made up of five companies . Georgians were also found in the Wehrmacht ' s North Caucasian Legion and in other Caucasian ethnic legions . The Georgian military formations were commanded by Shalva Maglakelidze , Michel - Fridon Zulukidze , Col . Solomon Nicholas Zaldastani and other officers formerly of the Democratic Republic of Georgia ( 1918 – 21 ) . This venture was largely hampered by the intervention of Alfred Rosenberg . Adolf Hitler himself was greatly suspicious of the Georgian and other Soviet battalions . Across Europe , especially in Italy and France , few Georgian soldiers of the Wehrmacht deserted and joined local Resistance movement s . Alexander Nikuradze , Michael Achmeteli , and some other Georgian scholars were held in high esteem in Germany . As a result of Hitler ' s distrust of " Osttruppen " ( " Eastern Troops " ) , some Georgian battalions were moved west to occupation duties in the Netherlands . With the western allies driving into Germany , the 822 Georgian battalion , stationed on the Dutch island of Texel , rebelled against their German overlords . The resulting battle , known as the Georgian uprising on Texel , continued from April 5 , 1945 past the general German surrender , until May 20 . This event is sometimes described as Europe ' s last battle . In accordance with inter - Allied agreements , all Soviet citizens were to be repatriated , by force if necessary , to the Soviet Union . The Soviets treated those who wore German uniforms , such as those in the Georgian Legion , as traitors . They were punished upon their return , with many exiled to Siberia or Central Asia .

Sang - O - class submarine The Sang - O class submarines are in use by North Korea , and are the country ' s largest home - built submarines . A single unit was captured by the Republic of Korea Navy ( South Korea ) after it ran aground on 18 September 1996 in the 1996 Gangneung submarine infiltration incident . Sang - O II / K - 300 . It was widely reported in March 2011 that a new version of the Sang - O class had been deployed in North Korea . Satellite imagery from 2005 suggests the Sang - O II / K - 300 may have been produced at the Mayang - do naval base and fitted out at the dry docks located at 39 . 9978 N , and 128 . 20019 E . Other footage of the nearby docks of Sinp ' o appear to depict the Sang - O II / K - 300 as early as 2004 ( at 40 01 ' 31 . 20 " N 128 09 ' 55 . 80 " E ) . Subsequent satellite imagery shows the Sang - O II / K - 300 deployed to the Ch ’ aho - rodongjagu submarine Navy Base at 40 . 205441 N 128 . 649524 E on North Korea ' s east coast . According to the KPA Journal , the decision to develop a larger , improved version of the Sang - O came in the late 1990s or early 2000 . The Sang - O II / K - 300 is a stretched version of the original Sang - O class with an approximate length of 39 to 40 metres and a corresponding surface displacement of approximately 300 to 340 tons . The increased length and internal volume would suggest an increased in the operational range of the submarine and troop / equipment carrying capabilities . Top speed is also reported to be higher in the new model meaning an improved propulsion system is likely using some of the extra length .
Israeli Chief Reserve Officer The Israeli Chief Reserve Officer ( ) is the commander of the Israel Defense Forces military reserve force . As of September 2008 , the Chief Reserve Officer is Brigadier - General Yishayahu Ben Anat , who replaced Brigadier - General Dani Van Biran after three years in this position . The position was created both as part of the 21st Century IDF reforms as well as largely due to feelings of discrimination by reservists following Operation Defensive Shield , whereby the reservists complained that employers preferred those who serve shorter durations over those serving lengthier terms . Until the position was created , the reserve force fell under the jurisdiction of the respective branch and there was no one , single officer to represent IDF reservists . Also , as part of the reserve force reform , a celebratory " Reserve Day " was established during which reservists are entitled to several benefits . Leaders of the reservists groups , however , maintained this falls short and that better employment protections and more substantive benefits are needed . During the Second Lebanon War , severe war - time shortages and other critical oversights affecting the reserve force culminated in the reserve soldiers ' protest , which became an important political event in Israel , leading to the creation of the Winograd Commission .
