14 - inch M1920 railway gun The 14 - inch M1920 railway gun was the last large caliber railway gun to be deployed by the U . S . Army . It was an upgrade of the Navy 14 " / 50 caliber railway gun . This was meant to build a better railway gun , from past mistakes . History . After the close of World War I , the US Army wanted to incorporate the lessons learned from other railway gun mounts and fulfill coastal artillery requirements for hitting a moving target . An effort to design a more universal mount for the Navy ' s Mk . IV 14 " / 50 caliber gun was undertaken . The primary difference from the earlier Navy versions lies in the M1920 carriage , which could be raised and lowered . Prepositioned fixed mounts were installed at the forts , and the gun ' s rail trucks could be taken out from under the frame . After the removal of the rail trucks , the gun was lowered and bolted onto a pivot point for 360 degree movement . The M1920 carriage made the gun much more flexible . It allowed for the standard practice of using a curved piece of rail to traverse the gun , and it enabled the gun to be used in a fixed position . Two guns were deployed to Fort MacArthur . The remaining two guns were deployed to Fort Grant and Fort Randolph in the Panama Canal Zone . The two guns deployed to the Panama Canal Zone could be moved to either coast on the Panama Canal Railway . Models . The Mk . IV gun was manufactured in two models : Sighting and fire control equipment . The following sighting equipment was used with the gun : Surviving artifacts . All four guns were cut up for scrap in 1946 .
Brunswick Air Force Station Brunswick Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located east - southeast of Brunswick , Maine . It was closed in 1965 . Brunswick AFS was one of the first of twenty - four stations of the 1949 permanent Air Defense Command radar network . On December 2 , 1948 , the Air Force directed the Army Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction of this and the other twenty - three sites . History . The 654th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was assigned to Brunswick on 1 January 1951 and began operating a pair of AN / CPS - 6 B radars from here in October , assuming coverage previously provided by the Lashup site at Grenier AFB , New Hampshire ( L - 4 ) , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . An AN / FPS - 8 radar was added in 1955 . The Air Force eventually converted this unit to an AN / GPS - 3 radar that served at Brunswick until the 1960s . In 1958 the AN / CPS - 6Bs were retired and two AN / FPS - 6 height - finder radars were installed . During 1959 Brunswick AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , feeding data to DC - 05 at Topsham AFS , Maine . After joining , the squadron was re - designated as the 654th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 October 1959 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 13 . In addition to the main facility , Brunswick AFS operated an AN / FPS - 14 unmanned Gap Filler site : Over the years , the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars . The site was slated to receive an AN / FPS - 35 search radar , but plans were cancelled , probably due to pending site deactivation . This site was removed from service on 25 June 1965 along with other ADC sites as part of a consolidation of resources . The facility was eventually absorbed into the now - defunct Naval Air Station Brunswick , and its facilities were integrated into the NAS . A large radar tower remains standing . The Gap Filler support building at Sedgwick remains , the radar long since dismantled . Air Force units and assignments . Units : Assignments :

POMD - 1 mine The POMD - 1 is a cylindrical scatterable Bulgarian anti - personnel mine , used in the KNURS - DM 122 mm rocket fired from the BM - 21 vehicle mounted rocket launcher . In one 122 mm rocket , a single POMD - 1 mine was carried along with 16 PMD - 1 AP pressure mines , and four TMD - 1 anti - tank mines . Once the mine is scattered , the top is ejected , allowing the spring - loaded legs to fold down . Also four tripwires are launched away from the mine . After a short period the mine is armed , from that point on , any disturbance of the trip wires will trigger the mine , scattering fragments to a lethal radius of approximately 15 meters . The mine has been withdrawn from Bulgarian service and all stocks have been destroyed .
Locking Castle Locking Castle was a castle that once stood on Carberry Hill near the site of RAF Locking in Locking in the North Somerset district of Somerset , England . It has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument . It was a motte and bailey on Carberry Hill . Excavations in 1902 identified the remains of a small stone chamber surrounded by a ditch . Fragments of pottery and the remains of a sword were also found . The origin of the castle is unclear . It may have been part of the manor of Kewstoke or alternatively Hutton . The two manors were combined and given by Henry I to Geoffrey de Dun . In 1214 Locking was given to Woodspring Priory and would have ceased to have military significance .

There is first a selection phase divided into two steps and then a training phase . The first part of the selection phase is based on several psychological and fitness tests . The second part of the selection process lasts two weeks and puts the trainees under physical and psychological stress . Those who pass the selection process move to the basic training phase of 31 weeks , which puts the trainees in a series of training environments . All trainees must attend and graduate specific courses in parachuting , close quarter combat , communications etc . Trainees who graduated from this basic special force training program are assigned to their final destination unit and will receive further advanced training in specific fields related to the tactical tasks of their unit .
