Battle of Sacriporto The Battle of Sacriporto was a battle that took place in April of 82 BC during the context of Sulla ' s Second Civil War . The battle pitted the Optimates under the command of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix against the Populares forces commanded by Gaius Marius the Younger . The battle resulted in a decisive Optimate victory . Context . After signing the peace treaty at Dardanos , Sulla returned to Rome with the intention of confronting his other political opponents , the Populares . They were led by Gaius Marius the Younger and by Gnaeus Papirius Carbo . Sulla therefore invaded Italia in 83 BC , routing various Populares armies . Encamping for the winter , both sides made preparations to continue the fighting with the start of the Spring war season when the war became intensified and bloody . The Battle . According to historical accounts , one night in April , Sulla had a dream that Gaius Marius told his son , Gaius Marius the Younger , that he should not give battle to Sulla ' s forces the following day . Encouraged by this premonition , Sulla decided to immediately give combat and called on Gnaeus Cornelius Dolabella who was encamped nearby . Dolabella ' s army was exhausted from marching in an intense rainstorm and the military tribune s had ordered that the army make camp rather than give battle . Emboldened by the enemy ' s lack of offensive action , Gaius Marius decided to attack thinking he would be able to surprise the Optimates and win the day . The Optimates instead rallied to their units and gave battle against troops of Marius . Their defense was so fierce that Marius was eventually obliged to retire from the fray . Consequences . The surviving Populares forces , including Marius , took refuge at Preneste to escape the pursuing Sullan forces . Sulla arrived shortly thereafter and besieged the city . The city fell on 4 November , holding out surprisingly until all of Italy was under Sulla ' s direct control .

Those departments were : Bouches - de - l ' Èbre , Montserrat , Sègre and Ter . The names of departments formed from territories annexed to France after 1791 have been colour - coded as follows :
Landing Ship Medium Landing Ship Medium were amphibious assault ship s of the United States Navy in the World War II . Of comparable size to Landing Ship , Tank and the Landing Craft , Infantry , there were 558 LSM ( Landing Ship , Medium ) made for the USN between 1944 and 1945 . The majority of vessels built on this versatile frame were regular transports however there were several dozen that were converted during construction for specialized roles . Most vessels of this type were scrapped during the Cold War , but several were sold by the United States Department of Defense to foreign nations or private shipping companies . Only one LSM , USS LSM - 45 is known to still exist in its original configuration . It is in storage at Marine Station Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville , NC . It was slated to become the centerpiece of the Museum of the Marine , but due to changed plans , is now in danger of being scrapped or sunk as an artificial reef .

Troops B and C , while conducting a reconnaissance mission along a road were suddenly attacked by a Viet Cong regiment , supported by mortars , recoilless rifles and machine guns , from concealed positions astride the road . Sgt . Long abandoned the relative safety of his armored personnel carrier and braved a withering hail of enemy fire to carry wounded men to evacuation helicopters . As the platoon fought its way forward to resupply advanced elements , Sgt . Long repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire at point blank range to provide the needed supplies . While assaulting the Viet Cong position , Sgt . Long inspired his comrades by fearlessly standing unprotected to repel the enemy with rifle fire and grenades as they attempted to mount his carrier . When the enemy threatened to overrun a disabled carrier nearby , Sgt . Long again disregarded his own safety to help the severely wounded crew to safety . As he was handing arms to the less seriously wounded and reorganizing them to press the attack , an enemy grenade was hurled onto the carrier deck . Immediately recognizing the imminent danger , he instinctively shouted a warning to the crew and pushed to safety one man who had not heard his warning over the roar of battle . Realizing that these actions would not fully protect the exposed crewmen from the deadly explosion , he threw himself over the grenade to absorb the blast and thereby saved the lives of 8 of his comrades at the expense of his life . Throughout the battle , Sgt . Long ' s extraordinary heroism , courage and supreme devotion to his men were in the finest tradition of the military service , and reflect great credit upon himself and the U . S . Army .

Modern Sub Machine Carbine The Modern Sub Machine Carbine or MSMC ia submachine gun created by INSAS chambered in the 5 . 56x30 MINSAS caliber . Description . The Modern Sub Machine Carbine / MSMC submachine gun was born from the INSAS ( Indian Small Arms System ) program , which originally included three weapons - the 5 . 56mm INSAS assault rifle , the 5 . 56mm INSAS squad automatic / LMG , based on the rifle , and a compact carbine . The INSAS rifle and LMG are already in service with Indian armed forces , but the original INSAS carbine program faced several difficulties . As a result , it was decided to design a carbine around smaller round , based on the shortened 5 . 56mm cartridge . The new round appears to be of same concept that experimental American Colt MARS , as it has bottlenecked case 30mm long , loaded with light , pointed bullet with steel penetrator core . The bullet weight is 2 . 6 gram and muzzle velocity from 300mm carbine barrel is listed as 650 m / s , resulting in muzzle energy value of 550 Joules - similar to modern pistol cartridges . The cartridge , known as 5 . 56x30 MINSAS , offers effective range of about 200 to 300 meters , with good penetration against body armor . The early carbines for this round , known as MINSAS , were based on the INSAS rifle , lightened and scaled down for shortened round . The MSMC , however , derives from this by having more compact , pistol - type layout , which also offers better balance and better maneuverability , especially in confined spaces . The Modern Sub Machine Carbine / MSMC submachine gun is intended for Indian Special Operation troops , but it also can make a good Personal Defense Weapon for vehicle and gun crews and other non - infantry personnel operating in combat zones . As of now ( spring 2010 ) , the Modern Sub Machine Carbine / MSMC submachine gun is in its final stages of T & E by Indian military . The Modern Sub Machine Carbine / MSMC submachine gun is a gas operated weapon , utilizing rotary bolt locking and a gas piston , located above the barrel . The receiver appears to be made from sheet steel , with outer polymer housing with integral pistol grip . The magazines are inserted into the pistol grip . Buttstock is of telescoped type . Safety / fire mode selector is ambidextrous and conveniently located above the trigger . Standard iron sights are complemented by the Picatinny rail , which can host a wide array of additional day and night sighting equipment . Another unusual accessory for the Modern Sub Machine Carbine / MSMC submachine gun is the bayonet lug , which is located above the barrel , just in front of the receiver .

Arabis - class sloop The " Arabis " class was the third class of minesweeping sloop s and the largest building project completed under the Emergency War Programme for the Royal Navy in World War I . They were part of the larger " Flower Class " , which were also referred to as the " Cabbage Class " , or " Herbaceous Borders " . The ships were also used outside of their minesweeping duties as patrol vessels , tugs , and personnel and cargo transports . The design for the " Arabis " class was made at the end of 1914 . All 36 British vessels were ordered in July 1915 , and were built in three batches , averaging 12 vessels . A further 8 vessels were later built in British shipyards for the French Navy . The design was highly appealing , as most shipyards were capable of building them , and construction could be completed in five months . Like the preceding " Acacia " and " Azalea " class sloops , these were single - screw Fleet Sweeping Vessels ( Sloops ) with triple hulls at the bows to give extra protection against loss when working . Ships . Six vessels were ordered in January 1916 , and another two in September 1916 , all to this design from British shipyards for the French Navy , and all were delivered to the French in 1916 or ( the last pair ) 1917 :
