AGARD The acronym AGARD stands for Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development , and was an agency of NATO that existed from 1952 to 1996 . AGARD , originally founded as an Agency of the NATO Military Committee , was set up in May 1952 with headquarters in Neuilly sur Seine , France . As its name implies , AGARD ' s activities concentrated on information exchange in aerospace research . Recent examples of AGARD studies include such topics as non - lethal weapon s , theatre ballistic missile defence , protection of large aircraft in peace support operations , and limiting collateral damage caused by air - delivered weapons . AGARD was also one of the first NATO organizations to cooperate with Russia in a mutual exchange of information dealing with flight safety . AGARD merged with the NATO Defence Research Group ( DRG ) in 1996 to become the NATO Research and Technology Organisation ( RTO ) . Further reading . < div class = " references - small " >
Battle of Landriano The Battle of Landriano took place on 21 June 1529 , between the French army under Francis de Bourbon , Comte de St . Pol and the Spanish army commanded by Don Antonio de Leyva , Duke of Terranova in the context of the War of the League of Cognac . The French army was destroyed and marked the end of the ambitions of Francis I of France to vie for control of northern Italy with Charles I of Spain . Background . In 1528 the Genoese Admiral , Andrea Doria , after deserting in favour of Charles , managed to break up the French siege of Naples ; his efforts were helped by the plague , which decimated the French besiegers , among them General Odet of Foix , Viscount of Lautrec , who died on 15 August . After his death , the French army was commanded by the Giovanni Ludovico of Saluzzo , who , under the circumstances ordered his troops to withdraw on 29 August , but eventually the Spanish - Imperial forces led by Philibert of Châlon , Prince of Orange , caught up with them and decimated them . Shortly after the whole French army in the south of Italy capitulated . Between August 1528 and June 1529 , intense diplomatic activities between King Francis and the Emperor resulted in the Treaty of Barcelona . The Battle . On 21 June 1529 King Francis I still had his troops stationed in Landriano , a region of Lombardy , near Pavia , scene of the decisive confrontation which resulted in a total French defeat in Italy . The Count of St . Pol ' s reserve French troops were intercepted and neutralised by the Spanish troops commanded by Don Antonio de Leyva , Duke of Terranova . The French army was left destroyed , which ended Francis ' s hopes of regaining his hold on Italy . The French commander , Francis de Bourbon , was also captured , leaving the Duchy of Milan under the complete control of the Emperor . Hostilities continued however , although without any French participation , with the Spanish - Imperial army led by Philibert of Châlon , Prince of Orange , against the Republic of Florence and installing Alessandro de ' Medici as the ruler of Florence . Consequences . With France ' s defeat in Landriano and the Treaty of Barcelona , Francis I of France felt obliged to begin negotiations with the Emperor . On 3 August , the Queen mother of France , Louise of Savoy and the Emperor ' s aunt , Margaret of Austria , signed the Treaty of Cambrai . Francis obtained the restitution of his sons , but on the condition that he had to abandon Italy , persuade the Venetians and the Duke of Ferrara to restore the occupied lands to the Emperor and the Pope Clement VII , not to interfere in the affairs of Italy and Germany , and to cooperate in the fight against the Protestants , to provide compensation of 200 , 000 ducats and send 4 ships , 12 galleys and 4 galleons for when the Emperor planned to go to Italy for his coronation . The Treaty made no reference to the Duchy of Burgundy , evening out with this silence the humiliating situation that was put to Francis in the Treaty of Madrid .
Camp follower Camp - follower is a term used to identify civilians who follow armies . Camp followers have historically been informal army service providers , servicing the needs of encamped soldiers , in particular selling goods or services that the military does not supply — these have included cooking , laundering , liquor , nursing , sexual services and sutler y . History . From the beginning of organized warfare until the end of the 19th century European armies heavily depended on the services of camp - followers composed primarily of women and their off - spring . These services included delivery and preparation of food provisions and transportation of supplies , which were later replaced by a military support structure . Camp - followers usually accompanied the baggage train and they often outnumbered the army itself , adding to its logistic problems . The term may also be applied to someone who scavenges after a battle . In United States history , Molly Pitcher was considered a camp - follower during the Revolutionary War , while there were also a number of camp - followers on both the Union and Confederate sides of the American Civil War .
Acheron - class torpedo boat The colonial service " Acheron " - class torpedo boats were built by the Atlas Engineering Company at Sydney in 1879 for the New South Wales naval service . They were originally armed with a single spar torpedo , but this was replaced in 1887 with two 14 - inch torpedoes . They were sold in 1902 . Design . The boats were designed by John I . Thornycroft & Company to mount a single spar torpedo . They displaced a mere 16 tons and were in length . Construction . In 1877 the Government of the colony of New South Wales ordered the construction of two " outrigger " torpedo boats , in response to concerns about a possible threat from foreign warships . Tenders closed on 17 January 1878 and the winning contractor was the firm of Atlas Engineering Company at Sydney . Both vessels were launched in early 1879 and " Acheron " started her trials in Sydney Harbour on 1 March 1879 . Service . Neither of the boats ever left the confines of Sydney Harbour , and they were never used in anger . By 1885 they were in a state of disrepair and were docked at Cockatoo Island . In the late 1880s they were described as " Sydney ’ s third line of defence " , after the naval artillery and the defensive mines . Both boats were refitted again in 1896 . Fates . On 1 March 1901 " Acheron " and " Avernus " became part of the Commonwealth Naval Forces . By this time they had become thoroughly outmoded and the Federal Government ordered their sale . In December 1902 " Acheron " was sold for £425 and " Avernus " for £502 . " Acheron " became Sydney ’ s quarantine boat , renamed " Jenner " , and was paid off in the late 1930s . In the mid - 1990s a workboat of the Royal Australian Navy detected a long thin hull with her side - scan sonar , which was thought to be the remains of " Acheron " . On the other hand , after sale " Avernus " was abandoned on the shores of Rushcutters Bay and in the 1940s was sunk for reclamation of land at Glebe .

Ecuadorian – Colombian War The Ecuadorian – Colombian War occurred in 1863 between the United States of Colombia , ( today Colombia and Panama ) , and the Republic of Ecuador . Under the Spanish Empire , Colombia and Ecuador had been part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada , and upon independence from Spain they had coexisted as part of Greater Colombia between 1819 and 1831 . Periodic border disputes — arising from the lack of clear borders under the Spanish — combined with occasional attempts to recreate Greater Colombia to produce tensions . In 1861 , conservative Gabriel Garcia Moreno ( 1821 – 75 ) became president of Ecuador and soon attempted to unify his country , which was sharply divided by class , regional , and language differences , by handing over much power to the Roman Catholic Church , which he considered the people ' s chief social tie to achieving a sense of nationalism . This decision deeply polarized Ecuadorian politics , as liberals generally viewed the Church as an obstacle to social and political progress . Colombia ' s liberal president , Tomas Cipriano de Mosquera ( 1798 – 1878 ) , provided aid to Ecuadorian liberals who wished to overthrow Garcia Moreno . In 1863 , he also began to push for a recreation of Greater Colombia and demanded a meeting on the border with Garcia Moreno in which the details of such an arrangement were to be decided . When Garcia Moreno did not show up , Mosquera brought an army into the border region , prompting Garcia Moreno to send a 6 , 000 - man force under his elderly father - in - law , General Juan José Flores ( 1800 – 1864 ) . Flores crossed the border , leading to the December 6 , 1863 , Battle of Cuaspad , in which some 4 , 000 Colombians under Mosquera utterly defeated the invaders , about 1 , 500 of whom were slain or wounded and 2 , 000 taken captive . Mosquera subsequently brought his army into Ecuadorian territory , reaching the town of Ibarra without encountering any resistance , but the two sides then agreed to an armistice . Subsequent negotiations led to the Treaty of Pinsaqui , signed December 30 , 1863 , in which the two sides agreed to a return to the pre - war status quo . Historiography . Determining exactly what happened in this rather minor war is complicated by the limited number of relevant sources , nearly all of which are extremely biased . One faction , following Augustine Berthe , idolizes Garcia Moreno as a true protector of the Catholic Church and imputes the worst possible motives to his opponents ; the other demonizes Garcia Moreno and thus excuses any action by his opponents . Considerable disagreement exists as to the details of the war , extending even to the identity of the winner : the anti - Garcia Moreno faction claims that the Ecuadorians capitulated following the Battle of Cuaspad , whereas their opponents claim that Mosquera elected to retreat after all Ecuador rallied behind Garcia Moreno and created a new army more powerful than the first .

German – Polish War ( 1002 – 18 ) The German – Polish War which took place from 1002 to 1018 consisted of a series of struggles between the Ottonian Henry II ( first as King of Germany and then Holy Roman Emperor ) and the Polish Piast ruler Boleslaw Chrobry . The locus of conflict was the control of Lusatia , Upper Lusatia , as well as Bohemia , Moravia and Slovakia . The fighting ended with the Peace of Bautzen in 1018 , which left Lusatia and Upper Lusatia with Poland , but Bohemia became a duchy in the Holy Roman Empire . 1002 – 1005 . In 1002 , after the conclusion of a council at Merseburg an attempt was made on Boleslaw ' s life , which he escaped with the help of several friendly German nobles . While it is not known for sure if the attack had been ordered by Henry , Boleslaw believed this was the case . Henry II did neither protect him , nor punish the assailants . The fighting began in late 1002 and did not stop until a peace was agreed to at Poznan in 1005 , as a result of which Boleslaw had to give up his earlier conquests of Lusatia and Meissen . 1007 – 1013 . In 1007 , Boleslaw , most likely preempting an attack by Henry , once again took control of Lusatia and Meissen . After several unsuccessful campaigns by Henry another peace was agreed to in Merseburg in 1013 . This time Boleslaw kept Lusatia and Meissen as imperial fiefs and received aid from Henry for his expedition to the Kievan Rus . In return , Boleslaw promised to support Henry ' s bid for the crown of Holy Roman Emperor and aid him in his Italian campaigns . 1015 – 1018 . After Merseburg , Boleslaw failed to support Henry in Italy and also refused to acknowledge Meissen and Lusatia as fiefs ; he believed he held them independently of the empire . As a result in 1015 Henry , supported by pagan Lutici an allies , launched an armed expedition against him . In 1015 Henry attempted to cross into Wielkopolska but was stopped by Boleslaw ' s troops at Krosno on the Oder . In 1017 Henry renewed his campaign and besieged Niemcza . With the help of outside reinforcements however the city held out and Henry was eventually forced to retreat . In January 1018 a peace treaty was concluded at Bautzen , which left Lusatia and Upper Lusatia with Boleslaw . Contemporary chronicle of Thietmar of Merseburg does not give details of the treaty . Historians have differed in their interpretation whether these were granted to Boleslaw as imperial fiefs , or if he held them with full sovereignty . Henry II did not renew the campaigns against Boleslaw I thereafter and the peace was confirmed by the marriage of Oda of Meissen , daughter of Eckard I , to Boleslaw .
