Operation New Horizons Operation New Horizons is a series of recurring U . S . - led operations in Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands . It has had several names over the years , including New Horizons and Beyond the Horizons ( as of 2008 ) . U . S . Southern Command sponsors these operations and uses active duty , reserve and National Guard forces from throughout the United States to conduct the missions . The units involved focus on engineering type endeavors to enhance the infrastructure of a region by building schools , medical clinics and roads and similar projects . The units also conduct medical assistance by providing such support to an area . Joint Task Force Bravo coordinates a number of these activities . In addition , these operations often include non - military assistance , such as from the United States Agency for International Development and the United States Department of Agriculture .

Zhang Hongfan Zhang Hongfan ( ) ( 1238 – 1280 ) was a Han Chinese general of the Mongol Empire ( afterwards the Yuan Dynasty ) in China . As commander of the Mongol army and navy , he annihilated the Southern Song by crushing the last Song resistance at the Battle of Yamen in 1279 , where he is said to have captured 8000 enemy vessels . He is also known for capturing the Song loyalist Wen Tianxiang ( 1236 – 1283 ) . Although some later books and retellings claim that Zhang was a traitor who turned against the Song Dynasty , this is not historically accurate . Zhang had never been part of the Song Dynasty . Some historians claim that Zhang was related to Zhang Shijie , a Song general who was drowned in battle against the Mongols . Deng Guangjian , a fellow townsman of Wen Tianxiang , was tutor to Zhang Hongfan ' s family after he was rescued from attempting to drown himself at the Battle of Yamen . In his biography of Wen Tianxiang , Deng Guangjian describes Zhang Hongfan as courteous and friendly towards Wen after his capture . On his deathbed , Zhang had also pleaded with the Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan to spare the life of Wen Tianxiang . Aside from these descriptions in Wen ' s biography , Deng also wrote a preface to Zhang ' s various collected writings .
Forman ' s Additional Continental Regiment Forman ' s Additional Continental Regiment was an American infantry unit that served for a little more than two years during the American Revolutionary War . Authorized on 11 January 1777 , the unit was recruited from southern New Jersey and Maryland . Raised by Colonel David Forman in early 1777 , it saw service with the Continental Army in the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777 and 1778 . In April 1779 the regiment was absorbed by Spencer ' s Additional Continental Regiment , History . Forman ' s Additional Continental Regiment came into being on 11 January 1777 for service with the Continental Army and was assigned to the main army . The unit was one of 16 so - called Additional Continental Regiments . David Forman , previously the colonel of a regiment of New Jersey state troops , was appointed commander . Samuel Griffin had begun organizing the regiment but refused the command when he found that he would not be promoted to general . When Forman took over , he continued Griffin ' s initial work . As usual with the Additional Regiments , George Washington gave Forman wide authority to choose his own officers . The regiment ' s field officers were Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Henderson who served from 12 January 1777 to October 1777 , and Major William Harrison who served from 1 May 1777 to 1 July 1778 . Forman ' s Additional regiment was recruited in the spring of 1777 from men from southern New Jersey and Maryland . The unit had a strength of four companies .

The regiment probably fought at the Battle of Germantown on 4 October 1777 in William Smallwood ' s 1 , 500 - strong left flank column which was composed mostly of Maryland and New Jersey militia . Forman , who held a brigadier general ' s commission in the militia , commanded all 600 New Jersey troops that were present . Among the New Jersey soldiers under Forman , more than one observer distinguished between the militia and " General Forman ' s Red Coats " . Likewise , Smallwood ' s Maryland militia included a portion of " enlisted men " , that is , continentals . The left flank column overran a few outposts , but finally were driven off by the Queen ' s Rangers and the grenadier and light companies of the Brigade of Guards . The unit served during the Monmouth Campaign in June 1778 .

Forman personally served on Charles Lee ' s staff during the battle on 28 June . On 1 April 1779 , the remaining soldiers joined Spencer ' s Additional Continental Regiment and Forman ' s Regiment ceased to exist . Another source states that the regiment was dissolved on 1 July 1778 and the men transferred to the New Jersey Line . Service record . < br > < br > External references . < br >
ANF Les Mureaux 113 The ANF Les Mureaux 110 and its derivatives were a family of French reconnaissance aircraft developed in the 1930s . They were all - metal , parasol - wing monoplanes that seated the pilot and observer in tandem open cockpits . The aircraft were widely used in the Battle of France , but were all scrapped soon thereafter . Development . The ANF Les Mureaux 110 originated with a French air ministry requirement for an aircraft to replace the Breguet 19 in Armée de l ' Air service in the " R2 " reconnaissance role . Two slightly different variants , the 110 and 111 were presented to the air force for evaluation , and were soon ordered into production . The first mass - production version was the 113 in 1933 , of which 49 examples were purchased . This was supplanted in production by the 115 in 1935 and the 117 later than year . Both these series were given light bombing capability as well . Operational history . The 113 entered service initially with the Armée de l ' Air ' s reconnaissance " Groupes " , followed by the observation " Groupes " , and finally replacing the venerable Potez 25 s in the " Groupes Aériens Régionaux " reserve units . It was followed into service by the 117 and 115 . From 1934 to 35 , 40 of the original 113s were converted into night fighters and used to replace the Breguet 19 s still in service with France ' s two nightfighter " Groupes " . By the outbreak of World War II , the 115 equipped nine " Groupes Aériens d ' Observation " , and the 117 nine more . By April 1940 , 11 aircraft had been lost in action , leaving 228 on strength at the commencement of the Blitzkrieg in May . By the time of the French armistice with Germany on June 25 , only 62 remained , some of these in North Africa .

Elson Moyo Air Vice - Marshal Elson Moyo was a deputy commander of the Air Force of Zimbabwe and one of the main figures in the 2007 Zimbabwean coup d ' état attempt . Elson Moyo is the younger brother of July Moyo , the former government minister who was dismissed by Robert Mugabe . Elson Moyo achieved some notoriety after he was sued for allegedly committing adultery with the wife of a policeman . After Zimbabwe gained independence , Moyo was a flying instructor at Thornhill Airbase in Gweru . During this time he trained many pilots who went on to become senior officers in the AFZ . Moyo was promoted from Air Commodore to Air Vice - Marshal in November 2003 . In early 2007 , he held the post of Chief of Staff - Operations . Unlike the Air Force Commander , Perence Shiri and the other high ranking AFZ officers , Moyo is able to fly an aircraft and as such he commanded a degree of personal loyalty from those senior officers whom he instructed during their flying training .

It was later noted that Moyo was under 24 hour surveillance and had been removed from his public roles .
Airspeed Fleet Shadower The Airspeed A . S . 39 Fleet Shadower was a British long - range patrol aircraft design that did not go beyond the prototype stage . While the concept of a fleet shadower had some promise , the resulting prototypes were soon overtaken by wartime developments in airborne radar . Design and development . The Royal Navy envisaged a need ( Operational Requirement OR . 52 ) for an aircraft that could shadow enemy fleets at night and the resulting Specification S . 23 / 37 called for a slow - flying low - noise aircraft with a long range , capable of operating from an aircraft carrier ' s flight deck . The specified performance was to be a speed of 38 knots at 1500 ft for not less than six hours . Five companies showed interest : Percival , Short Brothers , Fairey Aviation , General Aircraft Ltd and Airspeed . General Aircraft submitted the G . A . L . 38 , of very similar general design to the A . S . 39 . General Aircraft and Airspeed were selected to build two prototypes each and Airspeed received awarded a contract on 10 August 1938 . The A . S . 39 was a high - wing , semi - cantilever , strut - braced ( on the outer panels ) monoplane with wooden wings and tail unit and an all - metal monocoque fuselage . It had a fixed , divided type landing gear and tailwheel . The observation aircraft had a crew of three : pilot , observer and radio operator . The A . S . 39 had a unique crew configuration with the observer accommodated in the nose with clear - vision windows on three sides and the pilot ' s compartment raised to allow passage to the radio operator ' s compartment . Four small 130 hp Pobjoy Niagara V seven - cylinder radial air - cooled engines were mounted on the wings . Each wing and an engine could be folded for storage when used on an aircraft carrier . Operational history . Of two prototypes started , only one was completed , flying on 17 October 1940 , the first flight was delayed due to problems with the Niagara V engines which had a vibration problem . The prototype had stability problems and poor stall handling not helped by the under - powered engines . Airspeed were asked to respond to a proposal to re - engine the aircraft with two Armstrong Whitworth Cheetah XI radial engines and add rear - facing machine guns . Only a preliminary proposal had been made and the second aircraft was not complete when on 17 February 1941 the Navy cancelled the fleet shadower program along with the AS . 39 , the company were requested to scrap both aircraft . The competing G . A . L . 38 flew for a few months before it was cancelled and scrapped in March 1942 . The requirement for such aircraft had been made obsolete due to the introduction of radar on long - range patrol aircraft such as the Liberator I .
USS Wateree ( 1863 ) The first USS " Wateree " was a sidewheel gunboat in the United States Navy during the American Civil War . " Wateree " was built at Chester , Pennsylvania , by Reaney , Son & Archbold ; launched on 12 August 1863 ; and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 20 January 1864 , Comdr . F . E . Murray in command . Service history . Assigned to the Pacific Squadron , " Wateree " departed Philadelphia soon after commissioning . During the next 10 months , she made the arduous voyage around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean . In addition to struggling against the heavy weather for which the Cape region is noted , the warship experienced difficulty acquiring fuel . That problem necessitated her making numerous stops along the way to acquire wood for her boilers ; and , as a result , " Wateree " did not reach San Francisco , until mid - November 1864 . Upon her arrival there , the ship entered the Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs to damage she suffered during her arduous voyage and for a hull scraping . She did not leave San Francisco until late February 1865 when she put to sea to patrol the coast of Central America . During 1866 , American naval forces in the Pacific were divided into a North Pacific Squadron and a South Pacific Squadron . " Wateree " was assigned to the latter unit , whose patrol area extended south from Panama to Cape Horn and west to Australia . For the remaining two years of her brief naval career , " Wateree " patrolled the coasts of Central and South America , protecting American interests in that region . On 13 August 1868 , while she was in port at Arica ( then part of Peru ) a devastating earthquake struck the city subjecting " Wateree " and the other ships in the harbor to several massive tsunamis . The last tsunami broke the side - wheeler gunboat ' s anchor chains and drove her ashore almost 500 yards inland from the normal high - water mark . Too badly damaged for economical repair , the ship was sold to Mr . William Parker on 21 November 1868 . Her hulk was used as an emergency hospital , an inn , a hospital again , and finally a warehouse . She was eventually completely destroyed by another tsunami on 9 May 1877 . Remains . Today all that remains are parts of her boilers , mounted on the shore north of the present town of Arica , and maintained as a National Monument of Chile .
Inside Delta Force Inside Delta Force : The Story of America ' s Elite Counterterrorist Unit is a 2002 memoir written by Eric L . Haney about his experiences as a founding special forces operator in the " 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta " ( also known as Delta Force ) the U . S . Army ' s counterterrorist unit . Haney recounts the formation and early operations of the unit , as well as his own recruitment , selection and training . Haney also evaluates the impact of inter - service rivalries and potential overlap created when Delta Force was formed , including the challenges of dealing with the Central Intelligence Agency . Central to the book is Haney ' s participation in Delta Force ' s first operation – the aborted 1980 Desert One mission to Iran to free American hostages . " Inside Delta Force " formed the inspiration for the CBS television series " The Unit " , in which Haney was involved as a writer , producer , and technical advisor . Criticism . Since the publication of " Inside Delta Force " in 2002 and Haney ' s subsequent success with " The Unit " television show , three of his former Delta colleagues accused him of embellishing his accomplishments within the unit and fabricating several of the events depicted . Some of the criticism directed at Haney has focused on him stating he was a " founding member " of Delta Force ; it is acknowledged among former operators that there was only one " founder " , Colonel Charlie Beckwith , who helped establish the unit and was its first commanding officer . Haney ' s use of the term " founding member " is to indicate that he was among the first operators assigned to the 1SFOD - D . One such colleague , Logan Fitch , who first wrote publicly of the Eagle Claw mission for " Penthouse Magazine " in 1984 in which he was also highly critical of Beckwith , called Haney a " crass opportunist " for capitalizing on his past for personal gain . Despite the falling - out between Haney and these former Delta members , Haney has stood behind the accuracy of his book . Another member criticized Haney for revealing too much about Delta Force ' s training , tactics and early missions . A U . S . Army historian has questioned whether this was an issue , given that the information contained in Haney ' s book was current in the late - 1970s and early - 1980s and that Delta Force would certainly have changed their procedures since that time . Moreover , operational information offered by Delta veterans had been made public before , such as in " Black Hawk Down " , Mark Bowden ' s book about the Battle of Mogadishu in which Delta operators participated , and most notably , Beckwith ' s own book of the formation and training of the unit .
Non - Commissioned Officer in Charge The designation Non - Commissioned Officer in Charge , usually abbreviated to NCOIC ( or NCO I / C ) , signifies an individual in the enlisted ranks of a military unit who has limited command authority over others in the unit . An example would be something small like a squad leader who may have 6 - 12 people under their command . Another might be a platoon sergeant who can have 45 - 70 people under their command . Generally , an NCOIC is both an administrative leader as well as a combat leader . Only NCOs and SNCOs may serve as NCOICs . In the United States Air Force enlisted members in the grades of E - 1 through E - 4 cannot hold the position or title of NCOIC until promoted to the grade of E - 5 and above .
Greek destroyer Hydra ( D97 ) Hydra ( ) was a Greek destroyer of the " Dardo " class , which served with the Hellenic Navy during the early stages of the Second World War . It was named after the Saronic Gulf island of Hydra , which played an important role in the Greek War of Independence , and was the fourth ship to bear this name . She was constructed in Sestri Ponente , Italy , by Cantieri Odero , and commissioned by the Hellenic Navy in 1933 . After the outbreak of the Greco - Italian War , she participated in the first naval raid against Italian shipping in the Strait of Otranto ( 14 – 15 November 1940 ) . During the German invasion of Greece , she was attacked by German bomber aircraft on April 22 , 1941 and sunk near the island of Lagousa in the Saronic Gulf , together with her commander , Cmdr . Th . Pezopoulos and 41 members of her crew .
Militarized Interstate Dispute Militarized Interstate Disputes ( or MIDs ) are conflicts between states that do not involve a full - scale war . A conflict is described as an MID if it causes fewer than 1000 deaths , and some military force is used . This can be nothing more than a military display of force with no deaths . Under this definition , over 2000 MIDs have been identified since 1816 in the Correlates of War project . For example , although the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States - led coalition would be considered a ' war ' , the bombings and disputes related to American , British and ( until 1996 ) French control of the Iraqi no - fly zone in the 1990s is described by Wayman ( in the paper referenced below ) as an ' MID ' . Some of the findings from research on MIDs :
Baek Sang Eo ( White Shark ) torpedo K731 Baek Sang Eo ( White Shark ) torpedo ( Hangul : 백상어 어뢰 ) is a submarine - launched torpedo developed by the Republic of Korea Navy in 2004 . Production was delayed for a year after a program error in the guidance system resulted in 2 failed tests in 2003 . This glitch was fixed while developing the Blue Shark torpedo ; a more lightweight variant . Production cost for each torpedo is at about 950 million Won ( US $ 790 , 000 ) .
