933d Tactical Airlift Group The 933d Tactical Airlift Group is an inactive United States Air Force Reserve unit . It was last active with the 440th Tactical Airlift Wing , based at Billy Mitchell Field , Wisconsin . It was inactivated on 1 September 1975 History . Following the mobilizations in 1961 and 1962 for the Berlin Crisis and the Cuban Missile Crisis , Continental Air Command ( ConAC ) realized that it was unwieldy to mobilize an entire wing unless absolutely necessary . Their original Table of Organization for each Wing was a wing headquarters , a troop carrier group , an Air Base Group , a maintenance and supply group , and a medical group . In 1957 , the troop carrier group and maintenance and supply groups were inactivated , with their squadrons reassigned directly to the wing headquarters - despite the fact that many wings had squadrons spread out over several bases due to the Detached Squadron Concept dispersing Reserve units over centers of population . To resolve this , in late 1962 and early 1963 , ConAC reorganized the structure of its reserve Troop Carrier Wings by establishing fully deployable Troop Carrier Groups and inserting them into the chain of command between the Wing and its squadrons at every base that held a ConAC troop carrier squadron . At each base , the group was composed of a material squadron , a troop carrier squadron , a tactical hospital or dispensary , and a combat support squadron . Each troop carrier wing consisted of 3 or 4 of these groups . By doing so , ConAC could facilitate the mobilization of either aircraft and aircrews alone , aircraft and minimum support personnel ( one troop carrier group ) , or the entire troop carrier wing . This also gave ConAC the flexibility to expand each Wing by attaching additional squadrons , if necessary from other Reserve wings to the deployable groups for deployments . As a result , the 933d Troop Carrier Group was established with a mission to organize , recruit and train Air Force Reserve personnel in the tactical airlift of airborne forces , their equipment and supplies and delivery of these forces and materials by airdrop , landing or cargo extraction systems . The group was equipped with C - 119 Flying Boxcar s for Tactical Air Command airlift operations . The group was one of two C - 119 groups assigned to the 440th TCW in 1963 , the other being the 934th Troop Carrier Group , at Minneapolis - St Paul International Airport , Minnesota . Was upgraded to newer C - 130A Hercules transports in 1971 , retiring the Flying Boxcars . Group was inactivated in 1975 as part of post - Vietnam War drawdown .

Navy ; " Nicholas " won 30 battle stars in three wars , and " O ' Bannon " with 17 battle stars in just World War II . It became Task Force 18 in April 1943 . Task Force 67 became part of the United States Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea after the Second World War .
Rubber duck ( military ) In the United States military , a rubber duck or " rubber ducky " refers to a fake training weapon , usually an M16 rifle , used in basic training . Trainees are issued rubber ducks before they have been properly trained to use actual rifles , in order to become familiar with the care , responsible handling , and added weight of an M - 16 during various activities , such as bayonet drills , water survival and marches . They are also used to train soldiers in various ceremonial practices that differ when soldiers are armed . For example , standing at attention requires a different stance and set of movements when the soldier has a rifle in - hand . Some rubber ducks are made by filling and coating an actual decommissioned M - 16 rifle with rubber or plastic . Some are also made using decommissioned rifle parts , with rubber or plastic used for the other parts . Still others are made entirely of rubber or plastic that has been molded to resemble both the exact shape and weight of a rifle . Rubber duck use is being phased out in some areas of the Armed Forces , namely in Air Force Basic Training . They were replaced with M - 16 replicas : metal models that resemble M - 16 rifles , including most internal parts , but that lack the ability to fire . The replicas allow soldiers to learn disassembly and reassembly of their rifles much earlier in their training .

Reactivated in 1947 in the reserve at Hamilton Field , California , but it is unclear whether or not the unit had any assigned aircraft of personnel . It was inactivated in 1949 due to budgetary reductions . Reactivated under Strategic Air Command in 1955 as a RB - 47 Stratojet reconnaissance squadron flying strategic reconnaissance missions to meet SAC ' s global reconnaissance commitments from October 1955 – 1962 . Flew many long - range clandestine missions with the RB - 47 , flying many ferret missions around the periphery of Soviet territory , and sometimes inside on penetration flights to map planned routes for B - 52s if combat missions over the Soviet Union ever became necessary . Missions flown on a reduced scale after February 1958 when events showed the vulnerability of the RB - 47 to Soviet air defenses and the development of the U - 2 aircraft . Converted to standard B - 47 medium bombers in late 1961 and redesignated as 681st Bombardment Squadron , but inactivated in 1962 prior to becoming combat ready .

Barquentine A barquentine ( alternatively barkentine ) is a sailing vessel with three or more masts ; with a square rig ged foremast and fore - and - aft rig ged main , mizzen and any other masts . Modern barquentine sailing rig . While a full - rigged ship is square - rigged on all three masts , and the barque is square - rigged on the foremast and main , the barquentine extends the principle by making only the foremast square - rigged . The advantages of a smaller crew , good performance before the wind and the ability to sail relatively close to the wind while carrying plenty of cargo made it a popular rig at the end of the 19th century . Today , barquentines are popular with modern tall ship and sail training operators as their suite of mainly fore - and - aft sails can be operated with ease and efficiency , but the single mast of square sails offers long distance speed and dramatic appearance in port . Origin of the term . The term " barquentine " is 17th century in origin , formed from " barque " in imitation of " brigantine " , a two - masted vessel square - rigged only on the forward mast , and apparently formed from the word brig .
