In 1927 , the US Forest Service transferred him to New Mexico to be a Park Ranger at the Kit Carson National Forest . The US Border Patrol . Askins was recruited by the U . S . Border Patrol in 1930 . In his memoir " Unrepentant Sinner " , Askins recounted that he had been involved in at least one gunfight every week . During his service in the Border Patrol , Askins won many pistol championships , and was made the leader of the Border Patrol ' s handgun skills program . US Army and later life .

His writing career spanned 70 years , from 1929 until his death in 1999 . Legacy . Askins was controversial for the relish with which he described the numerous fatal shootings in his law enforcement and military careers , stating he had killed 27 men . Because he was involved in numerous shootouts along the US / Mexico border , and due to his stated practice of not keeping track of African - Americans and Hispanics , the actual number of killings he committed was potentially much higher . Askins once remarked that he thought he was a psychopathic killer , and that he hunted animals so avidly because he wasn ' t allowed to hunt men anymore . Askins was a contemporary of Bill Jordan , Elmer Keith , Skeeter Skelton , and Jack O ' Connor .

Field army A field army ( or numbered army or simply army ) is a military formation in many armed forces , composed of two or more corps and may be subordinate to an army group . Likewise , air armies are equivalent formation within some air force s . Particular field armies are usually named or numbered to distinguish them from " army " in the sense of an entire national land military force . In English , the typical style for naming field armies is word number s , such as " First Army " ; whereas corps are usually distinguished by Roman numerals ( e . g . I Corps ) and subordinate formations with ordinal number s ( e . g . 1st Division ) . The Roman Army was among the first to feature a formal field army , in the sense of a very large , combined arms formation , namely the " sacer comitatus " , which may be translated literally as " sacred escort " . The term is derived from the fact that they were commanded by Roman emperors ( who were regarded as sacred ) , when they acted as field commander s . While the Roman " comitatensis " ( plural : " comitatenses " ) is sometimes translated as " field army " , it may also be translated as the more generic " field force " or " mobile force " ( as opposed to " limitanei " or garrison units ) . In some armed forces , an " army " is or has been equivalent to a corps - level unit . Prior to 1945 , this was the case with a " Gun " ( 軍 ; " army " ) within the Imperial Japanese Army , for which the formation equivalent in size to a field army was an " area army " ( 方面軍 ; " Hōmen - gun " ) . In the Soviet Red Army and the Soviet Air Forces , an army was subordinate in wartime to a Front ( an equivalent of army group ) . It contained at least three to five divisions along with artillery , air defense , reconnaissance and other supporting units . It could be classified as either a combined arms army ( CAA ) or tank army ( TA ) ; and while both were combined arms formations , the former contained a larger number of motorized rifle divisions while the later contained a larger number of tank divisions . In peacetime , a Soviet army was usually subordinate to a military district . Modern field armies are large formations which vary significantly between armed forces in size , composition , and scope of responsibility . For instance , within NATO a Field Army is composed of a headquarters , and usually controls at least two corps , beneath which are a variable number of divisions . A battle is influenced at the Field Army level by transferring divisions and reinforcements from one corps to another to increase the pressure on the enemy at a critical point . NATO Armies are controlled by a General or Lieutenant General .

It was also the last major battle fought by the Yumans and the last major battle fought solely between native Americans in North America . Battle . For hundreds of years prior to 1857 , the Yumas and the Maricopas were enemies . On many occasions the two tribes would gather their warriors together at the peak of Berdache Mountain . There the two sides would shout insults at each other before fighting a battle . Chief Francisco of the Yuma led the combined army which numbered at least 300 men and they arrived near Secate on May 31 , 1857 . Francisco began his attack the following morning and captured the Maricopa village and began burning the structures . The Yumas and their allies had just walked 160 miles over the course of eight days so Francisco ' s men were tired and hungry . As a result , the Yumas and their allies made the deadly mistake of remaining in the burning village to rest and eat the captured Maricopa food . When Francisco ' s army attacked , the surviving women and children fled for protection to Pima Butte , which was just to the south of the village . The warriors gathered as well and sent a distress call to the nearby Pima villages . The Pima sent all of their warriors in the area and a counterattack was then launched . But before the Maricopa and Pima arrived , all of the Apaches , Yavapais and most of the Mohaves fled , leaving the remaining Yumas and Mohaves outnumbered . The Maricopa and Pima forces , some mounted on horses , surrounded the attackers before annihilating them . Most of the Yumas and Mohaves were killed , including Chief Francisco . On or about September 11 , traveler John B . Hilton visited the battlefield and later wrote that he observed ninety bodies in one spot , lying on the ground in every kind of position . The " San Diego Herald " mistakenly reported on September 12 that the battle was a three - sided engagement between the Pima , Yuma and the Maricopa all against each other . At the same time the " Daily Alta California " reported that the battle was The allies referred to the Yuma who after the Yuma War became good neighbors with the Americans on the California side of the Colorado River .

T - 84 The T - 84 is a Ukrainian main battle tank , a development of the Soviet T - 80 main battle tank . It was first built in 1994 and entered service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 1999 . The T - 84 is based on the diesel - engined T - 80 version , the T - 80UD . Its high - performance opposed piston engine makes it one of the fastest MBTs in the world , with a power - to - weight ratio of about 26 horsepower per tonne ( 19 kW / t ) . The T - 84 Oplot is an advanced version incorporating an armoured ammunition compartment in a new turret bustle ; ten of these entered Ukrainian service in 2001 . The T - 84 - 120 Yatagan is a prototype model intended for export , mounting a 120 mm gun capable of firing standard NATO ammunition and guided missiles . Production history . The T - 84 is the latest Ukrainian development of the T - 80 series , designed by KMDB in Kharkiv . A main design objective was to make Ukraine ' s arms industry independent of Russia ' s , after resulting difficulties in fulfilling a contract to supply T - 80UD tanks to Pakistan . An external difference from earlier models is the new Ukrainian welded turret , replacing the T - 80 ' s Russian - built cast turret ( some T - 80s shipped to Pakistan were fitted with the T - 84 welded turret , but lack other T - 84 improvements ) . The T - 84 ' s outstanding feature is the 26 hp / t power - to - weight ratio . It has inherited the nickname " Flying Tank " from the T - 80 . The tank is also designed to perform well in hot climates , and even includes an air - conditioned crew compartment ( operating temperature range is claimed to be −40 °C to 55 °C ) . Due to the collapse of Soviet Union , the Malyshev Factory was no longer able to obtain ceramic armour modules from Russia and only the initial batch of T - 84 were produced with such . Instead , later batches of T - 84 ' s composite armour is composed of special purpose rubber sandwiched between steel and alloy plates . The exclusion of ceramic plate from the tank ' s armour may indicate downgraded protection compared to older models . Ukraine has demonstrated several upgraded prototypes of this tank , intended for both domestic employment and international sale . Operational history . Ukraine . The first T - 84 prototype vehicle rolled out in 1994 , and in the same year it was decided to build several more vehicles . They were subjected to extensive company and army trials . After successful completion of the extensive trials programme in the late 1990s the T - 84 MBT entered service with the Ukrainian Army in 1999 . On 24 August 2000 , 10 T - 84 MBTs took part in the parade dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Ukraine ' s independence . Thailand . In September 2011 , The Malyshev Plant , based in Kharkiv , announced plans to produce the first batch of five Oplot tanks for the Thai Army by the end of the year . Under the contract , the Ukrainian company will make 49 tanks worth over USD 200 million . Georgia . In October 2009 , Ukrspetsstroi plans to sell to Georgia 12 modern T - 84 Oplot tanks , among other weapons .
