General Security Directorate ( Iraq ) The General Security Directorate ( GSD ) ( مديرية الامن العامة , " Mudiriyat al - Amn al - Amma " ) was the intelligence agency of Iraq . It was announced by interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi at a press conference in July 2004 in a climate of widespread violence by terrorist groups and the Iraqi insurgency . Although details on its organisation were not made clear at the time , the General Security Directorate ' s designated mission was to " infiltrate and annihilate Iraq ' s tenacious insurgency " . The GSD was eventually replaced by the Iraqi National Intelligence Service . Background . After the 2003 invasion of Iraq , Paul Bremer disbanded Saddam Hussein ' s military and security services , including the Mukhabarat . As the security situation within Iraq deteriorated and Iraqi resistance to the occupation became stronger and more violent , the need for a secret service became more pressing . In December 2003 , the " Washington Post " reported , Iyad Allawi and Nouri Badran , two members of the Interim Governing Council and Iraqi National Accord officials , flew to the US to discuss details of setting up a new secret service with the help of the CIA . The agency was to be headed by Badran and recruit many agents of Saddam ' s Mukhabarat . The main objective of the new organisation was to counter the insurgency . In January 2004 , the " New York Times " reported that the creation of the new agency was under way . It was to employ between 500 and 2 , 000 staff and be financed by the U . S . government . Ibrahim al - Janabi was said to be the main candidate for leading the spy agency . These efforts drew criticism from Ahmed Chalabi , another formerly exiled Iraqi politician who had good connections with the CIA , who voiced worries that the new agency might be used for the restoration of the old Ba ' athist security apparatus and follow the well - established pattern of government repression . In March 2004 , Paul Bremer announced the creation of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service , headed by Mohammed Abdullah Mohammed al - Shahwani and replaced the GSD . The INIS is funded from secret funds set aside within the Iraq appropriation approved by the US Congress . These secret funds , totalling $ 3 billion over three years , are said to be destined for covert CIA operations within Iraq ( as well as , to a small extent , Afghanistan ) . al - Shahwani was in the Iraqi military from 1955 until 1984 , fled to the UK in 1990 and lost his three sons in the 1996 failed coup organised by INA and the CIA .

Cooperative Security Location A Cooperative Security Location ( CSL ) is a U . S . military term for facilities used for regional training in counterterrorism and interdiction of drug trafficking , and also to provide contingency access to continental areas . " A CSL is a host - nation facility with little or no permanent U . S . personnel presence , which may contain pre - positioned equipment and / or logistical arrangements and serve both for security cooperation activities and contingency access . " These sites were established as the Pentagon began to address regional threats primarily in Africa and Latin America following its 2004 global posture review . They are sometimes referred to as " lily pad s . " The establishment of such bases has accelerated under the Obama administration , especially with the pivot to the Asia Pacific region and increased operations in Africa . A CSL is differentiated from a Forward Operating Site ( FOS ) with a small permanent force or contractor personnel , or a Main Operating Base ( MOB ) , with a large force and a well - defended site . Canada has established operational support hubs that operate in a similar fashion and can be reached by Canada ' s fleet of C - 17 cargo aircraft . Latin American and Caribbean CSLs . In 2004 , the United States began consideration of four sites for CSLs in the Latin American region : African CSLs . These sites were created while Africa was in the region covered by United States European Command . With the creation of the United States Africa Command ( USAFRICOM ) in 2007 , these CSL locations in Africa were transferred to the new command . They include , but are not limited to :

Three to five more years will then be dedicated for him to fully qualify in all the skills needed to become an operational member , during which he is trained in climbing and descending , parachuting , diving , explosives , first aid , instinctive shooting , aggressive car driving , VIP protection , and other disciplines .
Rice Army Airfield Rice Army Air Field ( also known as Rice Air Base or Rice AAF ) is an abandoned World War II airfield located east - southeast of Rice , California , United States . The airfield is located in Riverside County just south of the San Bernardino county line and State Route 62 . Wartime use . Rice AAF was acquired 29 September 1942 and was part of the World War II Desert Training Center in the Mojave Desert of Southern California . It apparently was a civil airfield before the war , known as " Rice Municipal Airport " , its origins are unknown . The mission of the training center was to prepare United States Army ground forces in preparation for Operation Torch — the invasion of North Africa . The center was commanded by then Brigadier General George Patton . The facility was assigned to United States Army Air Forces Fourth Air Force . The airfield consisted of two 5 , 000 - foot runways with numerous dispersal pads extending off the runways to the south , and support facilities and barracks to house about 3 , 000 personnel . Under the IV Air Support Command in 1942 and early 1943 ; the 71st Reconnaissance Group and the 85th Bombardment Group flew reconnaissance and dive bomber training missions with the Army ground forces in the DTC . After most Army units had deployed to overseas theaters by mid - 1943 , Rice AAF became a Fourth Air Force group training facility for units deploying to combat commands overseas , training pilots and aircrew with a wide variety of tactical aircraft , from light observation planes to medium bombers . Known units assigned to Rice were : By May 1944 , the airfield was assigned to the 15th Bombardment Wing at March Field as a sub - base . Military operations at Rice Army Air Field ended in August 1944 , and the field was declared surplus in October . The facility was inactivated and turned over to the Army Corps of Engineers on 1 January 1946 . Civil use . The War Assets Administration turned the military airfield to civil control , and was reused starting at some point in 1949 as a civilian airport . Rice was depicted as an active public - use airfield on the March 1952 San Diego Sectional Chart . The chart depicted Rice as having a 5 , 000 ' paved runway . The status of the Rice airfield evidently changed to a private airfield at some point between 1952 – 55 , as that is how it was depicted on the September 1955 San Diego Sectional Chart . The Rice Airport was evidently abandoned ( for reasons unknown ) at some point between 1955 – 58 . Today no standing structures remain of Rice Army Air Field and little but deteriorating concrete and bituminous runways remain in the desert . Two runways , one oriented NW / SE ; the other NE / SW are faintly visible in aerial photography along with numerous fighter dispersal pads . A concrete parking area still exists about south of California Highway 62 , which runs east / west north of the airfield . Dirt bike and dune buggy trails in the area obscure any evidence of roads or building foundations in what probably was the ground station . Generally , the entire area has reverted to its natural state .
Archbishop of Petra The Archbishop of Petra was established during the Crusader era and served the diocese of Palaestrina III , the Oultrejordain area , and traditionally included St . Catherine ' s Monastery on Mount Sinai , although Crusader protection rarely extended that far . The Islamic conquest in the 7th century had eliminated Byzantine control of the area and with it the protection of the Christian communities . However , Palestinian and Syrian Christian communities had remained in the region well into the Islamic occupation period and with the arrival of the Crusader Principalities , they were placed under the supervision of the diocese with the expectation of restoring the area ' s Christian roots . Frankish communities soon added to their number and before Saladin ' s reconquest , the area had an increasing number of Catholic communities . Following the destruction of the Kingdom of Jerusalem by Saladin , what little protection for Christians had existed was eliminated and the nascent Christian communities were soon destroyed . Nonetheless , several isolated monasteries at various levels of precarious existence continued , thereby creating the necessity of appointing Archbishops well into the modern period . However , by the late 19th and early 20th centuries what vestiges of monastic life and their few extant congregants which remained were effectively eliminated by Bedouin and Turkish raids and with it the diocese lapsed .

Battle of Lake Vadimo ( 283 BC ) The Battle of Lake Vadimo was fought in 283 BC between Rome and the combined forces of the Etruscans and the Gallic tribe the Boii . The Roman army was led by consul Publius Cornelius Dolabella . The result of the battle was a Roman victory . If we are to go with the works of Appian and Cassius Dio , we must assume that Dolabella ' s campaign against the Boii occurred after defeating Britomaris of the Senones , who had defeated Metellus Denter the year prior . There is some confusion as to the result of the Gallic victory at Arretium . According to Appian , it was in the coming year 283 BC that the Consul Publius Cornelius Dolabella defeated Britomaris in retaliation for this battle : The Senones , although they had a treaty with the Romans , nevertheless furnished mercenaries against them , wherefore the Senate sent an embassy to them to remonstrate against this infraction of the treaty . Britomaris , the Gaul , being incensed against them on account of his father , who had been killed by the Romans while fighting on the side of the Etruscans in this very war , slew the ambassadors while they held the caduceus in their hands , and wore the garments of their office . He then cut their bodies in small pieces and scattered them in the fields . < br > The consul [ Publius ] Cornelius [ Dolabella ] , learning of this abominable deed while he was on the march , moved with great speed against the towns of the Senones by way of the Sabine country and Picenum , and ravaged them all with fire and sword . He reduced the women and children to slavery , killed all the adult males without exception , devastated the country in every possible way , and made it uninhabitable for anybody else . He carried off Britomaris alone as a prisoner for torture . < br > A little later the Senones ( who were serving as mercenaries ) , having no longer any homes to return to , fell boldly upon the consul [ Cnaeus ] Domitius [ Calvinus ] , and being defeated by him killed themselves in despair . Such punishment was meted out to the Senones for their crime against the ambassadors . If this is to be believed , then it must be assumed that the consul Publius Cornelius Dolabella undertook both these campaigns in the same year .
