Battle of Jellalabad The Battle of Jellalabad in 1842 was an Afghan siege of the isolated British outpost at Jellalabad ( now Jalalabad ) about east of Kabul . The siege was lifted after five months when a British counterattack routed the Afghans , driving them back to Kabul . The outpost was no more than a wide place in the road with a fort , held by about 2 , 000 troops under General Sir Robert Sale . After the massacre of the British force during their retreat from Kabul in January 1842 , Jellallabad was surrounded by Afghan forces which launched a series of attacks on the force . The British managed to beat off the assaults , and even captured 300 sheep from the besieging force when rations ran short . Eventually , after five months under siege , Sale mounted an attack against the Afghan forces , captured their main camp , baggage , stores , guns , and horses and the Afghans fled to Kabul . The defence of Jellalabad made heroes of the 13th Foot . It is reported that as the regiment marched back through India to return to Britain every garrison fired a ten gun salute in its honour . Queen Victoria directed that the regiment be made Light Infantry , carry the additional title of " Prince Albert ' s Own " and wear a badge depicting the walls of the town with the word “ Jellalabad ” .

Mixed Order The Mixed Order ( ) was a tactical formation originally used by " demi - brigades " of the French Revolutionary Army and then later by Napoleon ' s Grande Armée to great effect . First proposed by the French theorist Comte de Guibert , the Mixed Order could be adapted to be used by companies or battalion s and involved two or more of these units using a combination of Line and Column formations . Its origins were in the revolutionary war s where the massed French militias lacked the training and experience to complete complicated manoeuvres and by necessity adopted a mixed order of veteran trained units and newly recruited / conscripted units . The regular troops moving in line along with the recruits moving in column , which required far less training to perfect , either on the flanks , the centre or in the rear of the veteran units . The column formation allowed the unit rapid movement , a very effective charge ( due to weight of numbers ) or it could quickly form an infantry square to resist cavalry attacks , but by its nature only a fraction of its muskets would be able to open fire . The line offered a substantially larger musket frontage allowing for greater shooting capability but required extensive training to allow the unit to move over ground as one while retaining the line . The mixed order remained a part of French tactical doctrine as the French army grew in discipline , capitalising as it did on the strengths of both the line and column formations , while avoiding some of their inherent weaknesses . It was used extensively by Napoleon when commanding the " Grande Armée " .

G5 carbine The G5 carbine is a Georgian military firearm which is an analogue to the German HK416 carbine . It has been developed in 2012 by the Georgian military Scientific - Technical Center " Delta " in order to construct an alternative to the M4A1 carbine , that will equip both the Georgian Armed Forces and the country ' s reserve forces . The G - 5 comes with modified attachment kits and optics as standard . Characteristics . According to TAM , the G5 looks almost the same as the M4 but differs completely in terms of firing mechanism and durability . The interior is much different as it uses a short - stroke piston gas operated system in combination with improved back components . Usual problematic issues like jamming or overheating have been overcome so that the overall reliability is improved . Furthermore , the developer states that during tests the carbine showed slightly better precision than the original M4 . These changes made are necessary to develop new iron sights , optics and other parts which would not apply to the M4 .
