When local youths had no money to pay for wine , she gave them wine on credit . She also loaned food and clothing to those in need . At the same time , she went from house to house , explaining why government policies of high taxation and conscription were making life difficult for the common people . Having garnered a strong base of supporters for her cause , Lu Mu revolted with a few hundred followers , becoming the first peasant leader to rise up against Wang Mang . Lu Mu ' s forces fought a guerilla war against government troops at sea and on land . As tax rates rose despite the increasing rate of farmer bankruptcy brought on by a spate of natural disasters , thousands flocked to join Lu Mu ' s cause . Lu Mu organized her troops into units of a hundred each . She set strict rules for her soldiers , forbidding them to take the property of peasants . In 17 CE , the peasant rebels raised a great banner with the word " Lu " on it and marched on Haiqu . The county fell to the rebels after a fierce battle and the county supervisor was taken alive .

Within a year , the rebel ranks had swelled to more than ten thousand . Lu Mu ' s rebels continued to launch attacks against government forces from their island base .

BCT common controller Common controller ( CC ) serves as a controller for many different BCT ( brigade combat team ) unmanned systems . Today , the army does not have a networked central control device for various unmanned platforms and sensors within the BCT . Still in development , this common control will provide that capability and will be incrementally fielded to the BCTs as it technologically matures . The CC consolidates control of numerous systems into one integrated networked controller , reducing the logistics footprint on the battlefield and empowering the soldier with enhanced intelligence , surveillance and reconnaissance capability . Being networked , it will also simplify training . The common controller controls the Class I unmanned aerial system ( UAS ) , the multifunctional utility / logistics equipment vehicle ( MULE ) , the small unmanned ground vehicle ( SUGV ) , and urban unattended ground sensors ( U - UGS ) . The common controller will communicate via the network in Spiral 2 / 3 / 4 , will perform selected training , logistics / maintenance , medical , and other soldier functions . References .

Arcadio Maxilom General Arcadio Maxilom y Molero ( November 13 , 1862 – August 10 , 1924 ) was a Filipino teacher and hero of the Philippine Revolution . He was born in Tuburan , Cebu to Roberto Maxilom , the town " gobernadorcillo " , and Gregoria Molero . His family were members of the local gentry , or " principalía " . He worked as a teacher in the local school before joining the Katipunan , whose activities in Cebu were led by a young Negrense , León Kilat . After Kilat ' s betrayal and assassination , Maxilom continued the revolution in Cebu . Under his command , the Katipunan was able to regroup in the central highlands , which Spanish forces found impenetrable . On December 16 , 1898 , Maxilom wrote a letter to the Spanish authorities in Cebu , demanding that the latter surrender . Weary after incessant fighting , the Spaniards quickly responded , asking Maxilom for two to three days to leave the province . By Christmas Eve , the Spaniards have left , leaving behind only three Catholic clerics . Little did the Cebuanos , indeed , all Filipinos , know that their newfound liberty would be short - lived , Spain having already been forced to sell the fate of their former subjects to the United States for twenty million US $ ( see Treaty of Paris ) . Maxilom is best remembered for stubbornly refusing to surrender to the American occupying forces even as his fellow revolutionaries in Manila and Cebu were starting to capitulate or collaborate with the new colonial power . He finally surrendered on October 27 , 1901 . Virtually forgotten after the revolution , Maxilom died in his hometown of Tuburan , after a long bout with paralysis , on August 10 , 1924 . His funeral cortège , joined in by leading revolutionary figures including Emilio Aguinaldo , stretched some four kilometers , in what remains to this day the longest in Cebu ' s history . Mango Avenue , one of Cebu City ' s main thoroughfares , was renamed Maxilom Avenue in honor of the general .
