Local operational picture A local operational picture ( LOP ) is a single identical display of relevant ( operational ) information of the battlespace ( e . g . position of own troops and enemy troops , position and status of important infrastructure such as bridges , roads , etc . ) constructed for local use . A LOP is an emerging military concept . Although , there are literary examples that suggests that a LOP is for the use of a platoon commander and its coverage range is 250 meter radius . A LOP assists a platoon commander to achieve " situational awareness " . Relationship to the COP . Various LOPs may be shared electronically and fused into common operational picture ( COP ) . Generally , sharing the LOP to form a COP implies that the LOP is replaced by the COP and hence has limited duration . Construction . A LOP is constructed with the aid of platform mounted / dismounted sensor s that determine geo position and signatures .

Battle of Todd ' s Tavern The Battle of Todd ' s Tavern was fought in Virginia during the American Civil War . The Battle of the Wilderness . On May 4 , 1864 , Gen . Ulysses S . Grant ' s 122 , 000 - man Army of the Potomac and Gen . Robert E . Lee ' s 66 , 000 - man Army of Northern Virginia opened the Battle of the Wilderness as a meeting engagement . This battle , fought primarily on May 5 and 6 , proved costly to both sides , as well as being essentially a draw . As he believed his position untenable ( since he had not successfully interposed his army between Grant and Richmond ) , Lee believed Grant would continue his move towards Richmond . Lee therefore moved to block Grant by shifting the Army of Northern Virginia southward towards Spotsylvania Court House , a crucial junction in the most direct routes from Grant ' s position in the Wilderness to Richmond . The battle . Lee assigned the job of slowing down the Union columns and protecting the Confederates ' route to Gen . Jeb Stuart , his trusted cavalry commander . Grant ' s orders to his cavalry chief , Gen . Philip H . Sheridan , were to cut the route the Confederates would take to Spotsylvania and to take and hold the crossroads . On May 7 , the two opposing cavalries met at Todd ' s Tavern at 4 : 00pm . They engaged in a slashing cavalry battle until after dark . The Confederate cavalry retired after nightfall . The battle resumed the next morning . It was an obstinate struggle with heavy losses on both sides . The Confederates were slowly pushed back upon Spotsylvania . They were just about to have to abandon the crossroads when the first of Lee ' s infantry arrived , across a bridge Sheridan had ordered his cavalry to destroy . The infantry secured the area for the Confederacy . Aftermath . Declaring the battle victorious for either side is problematic . While Stuart ' s cavalry was tactically defeated , Sheridan failed to cut the Confederate route to Spotsylvania , resulting in the bloody battle that ensued there . Yet , the delay caused by Sheridan ' s cavalry prevented Lee from gaining the advantages that an unhindered march to Spotsylvania would have garnered . The net effect was the continued and eventually fatal bleeding of the Army of Northern Virginia , at the cost of yet more Union casualties . . . which could be replaced with fresh Northern recruits . Thus , on the balance , the result was very slightly better than a draw for the Union forces . Today , there is information about the battle in the area provided by the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park .

History of Bosnia and Herzegovina ( 1941 – 45 ) After the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was invaded by the Axis powers during World War II , all of Bosnia was ceded to the newly created Independent State of Croatia . Axis rule in Bosnia led to widespread persecution and mass - killings of native undesirables and anti - fascists . Many Serbs themselves took up arms and joined the Chetniks , a Serb nationalist and royalist resistance movement that conducted ineffective guerrilla warfare against the occupying Nazi forces , only to collaborate with them later in the war against the communist partisans . The Chetniks were also known to persecute and murder non - Serbs and communist sympathizers . On 12 October 1941 a group of 108 notable Muslim citizens of Sarajevo signed the Resolution of Sarajevo Muslims by which they condemned the persecution of Serbs organized by Ustaše , made distinction between Muslims who participated in such persecutions and whole Muslim population , presented information about the persecutions of Muslims by Serbs and requested security for all citizens of the country , regardless of their identity . Starting in 1941 , Yugoslav communists under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito organized their own multi - ethnic resistance group , the partisans , who fought against both Axis and Chetnik forces . On 29 November 1943 the Anti - Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia with Tito at its helm held a founding conference in Jajce where Bosnia and Herzegovina was reestablished as a republic within the Yugoslavian federation in its Ottoman borders . Military success eventually prompted the Allies to support the Partisans , and the end of the war resulted in the establishment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , with the constitution of 1946 officially making Bosnia and Herzegovina one of six constituent republics in the new state . During the war , and following the massive deterioration of internal security under the incompetent Ustaše regime , the Nazis tried to create a quisling Waffen - SS unit in Bosnia called the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar ( 1st Croatian ) in February 1943 . Imam Halim Malkoć was the only Muslim to earn the German Iron Cross during World War II . The formation was not very successful , and many men deserted to the Communist partisans . But the existence of this unit served as very useful anti - Muslim propaganda after 1945 .
