Battle of Colson ' s Mill The Battle of Colson ' s Mill was a battle of the American Revolutionary War that took place in North Carolina on July 21 , 1780 . A Patriot militia under William Lee Davidson scattered a gathering of Loyalist s at Colson ' s Mill , near the junction of the Rocky and Pee Dee River s in present - day Stanly County , North Carolina . Background . Following the British defeat at Ramsour ' s Mill , where he arrived with over 1 , 200 men after the battle on June 20 , 1780 , General Griffith Rutherford set about chasing down refugees from the battle that were trying to regroup with British troops elsewhere . While he met with some success , expiring enlistments and furloughs rapidly reduced his army ' s size to about 200 . On June 22 , he learned that a group of several hundred Loyalist s had been recruited by Colonel Samuel Bryan about to the northeast , near the Yadkin River . Rutherford set off in pursuit , putting out a call for men . By the time he was within of Bryan ' s position his force had grown back to 600 men . Bryan anticipated Rutherford ' s approach , and began to withdraw down the east side of the Yadkin River with the goal of joining with British regulars on the Pee Dee River . Rutherford gave chase , but his attempts to cut Bryan ' s retreat off failed . At Salisbury he detached Colonel William Lee Davidson and a picked force to ride down the west side of the Yadkin in case Bryan tried to cross over . However , this design was frustrated when Bryan , marching day and night , reached the British force . Two days into the chase , Davidson learned that several hundred Loyalists had gathered near Colson ' s Mill , not far from the junction of the Rocky and Pee Dee Rivers . Battle . Moving rapidly in order to gain the element of surprise , Davidson and his force attempted to surround the farm on which the Loyalists were gathering . However , his front was discovered shortly before the flanking men were in place , and fire commenced . Davidson , the only man in uniform , was targeted by Loyalist marksmen , and was severely injured by a bullet to the gut . However , his men did not falter when he went down , and they dispersed the Loyalist troop , killing three , wounding several more , and taking ten prisoners . The escape of the Loyalists was helped by their familiarity with the local terrain . Aftermath . One other of Davidson ' s men was also wounded in the action . Davidson spent two months recovering from his wounds , and continued to serve afterward . He was eventually killed in the Battle of Cowan ' s Ford in February 1781 .

Swedish Defence Research Agency Swedish Defence Research Agency ( " Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut " , FOI ) is a Swedish government agency for defence research that reports to the Ministry of Defence . It has its headquarters in Kista , Stockholm and other locations in Grindsjön south of Stockholm , Linköping and Umeå . The activities of FOI include research , development of technology and analysis , primarily for military defence , but also for civil emergency , security and other civilian applications . In 2011 , FOI employed around 950 people . History . FOI was created in 2001 by combining Swedish Defence Research Establishment ( " Försvarets forskningsanstalt " , FOA ) with Swedish Institute for Aeronautic Research ( " Flygtekniska försöksanstalten " , FFA ) . FFA had been created in 1940 in Bromma , Stockholm as a governmental research institute for the Swedish aviation industry , large parts of which were devoted to military aircraft . FOA had been created in 1945 from three existing organisations : Soon after FOA was created in 1945 , the organisation was tasked to investigate the novel invention of nuclear weapons for the Swedish armed forces . This included both protection activities , and investigations and preparations for a possible Swedish nuclear weapon program . In the 1950s and 1960s , this constituted a considerable part of FOA ' s activities . After Sweden signed the Nuclear Non - Proliferation Treaty in 1968 , the remaining nuclear development activities were dismantled , and only protection research remained in the nuclear area . Initially , all FOA ' s divisions were located in the Stockholm region , but in the 1970s , some parts were relocated to Karlstad , Linköping and Umeå . In the early 2000s , activities at FOI have been scaled back as a cost - saving measure . When FOI was created in 2001 from FOA and FFA , the number of employees stood at around 1 , 300 , but in 2007 , this had been reduced to around 1 , 000 . In 2005 , several of FOI ' s activities in the Stockholm region were moved to a common location in Kista .
