Rhahzadh Rhahzadh , originally Roch Vehan , known in Byzantine sources as Rhazates ( ) was a Persian general of Armenian origin under Sassanid king Khosrau II ( r . 590 – 628 ) . Biography . As the war that had begun in 602 between Sassanid Empire and the Byzantine Empire came close to its twenty - fifth year , the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius ( r . 610 – 641 ) made a bold move . As the campaigning season of 627 ended , Heraclius gathered his heterogeneous army of Göktürks and Romans , and invaded the Persian heartland at the beginning of September . The news threw Khosrau into a panic . After fifteen years of war , his army was exhausted and his two foremost generals were not available ; Shahin was dead and Shahrbaraz was away in Egypt , fearing that Khosrau wanted him dead . Consequently , Khosrau gathered an army and appointed as its commander Rhahzadh , a warlike and brave nobleman . Rhahzadh moved to cut off Heraclius and prevent him from reaching Ctesiphon , the Persian capital . Heraclius continued burning and pillaging as he went , Rhahzadh following Heraclius , bidding his time until he was ready to meet the Romans . Finally Heraclius crossed the Great Zab River and set up camp preventing Rhahzadh from crossing by the same bridge without forcing battle . Instead he moved down and forded further downstream . When Heraclius heard of this he detached part of his army under Baanes to harass Rhahzadh . In the ensuing skirmish the Romans killed and captured many Persians , including Rhahzadh ' s personal aide . From him Heraclius learned that Rhahzadh was awaiting some 3000 reinforcements . Heraclius became concerned when he heard of this : his army was severely depleted by the desertion of the Turkic contingent and was concerned that Rhahzadh ' s reinforcements could tip the scale . So on 12 December 627 , near Nineveh , Heraclius drew up his army on a plain and waited for Rhahzadh . Rhahzadh saw this and moved to meet the Greeks . He drew up his army in three divisions similar to phalanxes , and advanced towards Heraclius . At the height of the battle Rhahzadh suddenly challenged Heraclius to single combat with the hope of forcing the Romans to flee . Heraclius accepted the challenge and spurred his horse forward and with a single blow struck off Rhahzadh ' s head , taking from the dead Persian his shield of 120 gold plates and gold breastplate as trophies . With Rhahzadh ' s death perished the Persians ' hopes of victory : seeing their brave commander and many other high - ranking officers being slain by Heraclius and his household troops , the Persian troops lost heart and were slaughtered suffering around 6 , 000 casualties .

Fort Hoskins Fort Hoskins was one of three " forts " ( which were actually unfortified posts ) built by the U . S . Army to monitor the Coastal Indian Reservation in Oregon in the mid - 19th century . The Fort Hoskins Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . History . The post was begun in 1856 on the Luckiamute River under the supervision of then Captain Christopher C . Augur .

Captain Augur was assigned to Fort Hoskins as its first post commander from 25 July 1856 to 2 July 1861 and added to the records of life at the fort where he and his growing family became the first occupants of their newly constructed residence on Fort Hoskin ' s " Officer ' s Row . " 2nd Lt . Phil Sheridan oversaw the construction of Fort Hoskins during this period . Two soldiers who were stationed at the fort during the American Civil War kept journals of their experiences : Royal A . Bensell and William M . Hilleary . Their accounts are of unmitigated boredom and dampness , but they provide a good picture of 19th - century life in the area . Fort Hoskins played an indirectly important role in local and state history because of the leadership of several out - of - state soldiers who decided to stay in the area after they were mustered out of the army . Several placenames in the area , such as Kings Valley , are connected with these soldiers . The fort never saw any action , though a bloodless insurrection by the natives at Yaquina Bay was put down by the soldiers . Fort Hoskins was abandoned in 1865 . Archeological site . The site of the fort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 . There is nothing left of the fort today except for a few recovered artifacts . Benton County has opened the site as Fort Hoskins Historical Park .

The alliance involved French settlers on the one side , and the Abenaki , Ottawa , Menominee , Winnebago , Mississauga , Illinois , Sioux , Huron - Petun , Potawatomi etc . . . on the other . It allowed the French and the Indians to form a haven in the middle - Ohio valley before the open conflict between the European powers erupted . France had a long presence in Northern America , starting with the establishment of New France in 1534 . Acculturation and conversion were promoted , especially through the activities of the Jesuit missions in North America . According to the 19th - century historian Francis Parkman : French settlers moved southward to the Louisiana , along the Ohio and the Mississippi valleys . France allied with the majority of the First Nations in North American , with the intent of defeating the British . According to one observer : French and Indian troops were combined in offensives against the British . In July 1757 , Montcalm assembled a force of 6 , 000 regulars and 2 , 000 Indians in the Battle of Fort William Henry . In 1759 , as Britain had a string of successes , especially with the Battle of Fort Niagara , the French were unable to properly supply and support their Indian allies , and the Franco - Indian alliance started to unravel . At the same time , the British were making promises of support and protection to the Indians . Finally Quebec fell in September in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham . Long after the extinction of New France in 1763 , Franco - Indian communities would persist , practicing the catholic faith , speaking French and using French names . From the Saint Lawrence to the Mississippi , cosmopolitan French communities accommodated Indians and Blacks . During the American War of Independence and the onset of the Franco - American alliance , the French would again combine with Indian troops , as in the Battle of Kiekonga in 1780 under Augustin de La Balme .
Combat Identification Panel The Combat Identification Panel ( CIP ) , also known as a Coalition Identification Panel , is a device mounted on military ground vehicles to distinguish them from the enemy during battle . History . Combat Identification Panels were developed after the Persian Gulf War to reduce friendly fire incidents among allied ground forces . These panels are designed so as to produce a distinct and easily identifiable infrared signature when seen through thermal imaging systems . Originally created as a hasty expediency , the use of low - thermal - emissivity tape and physical separation from the body of the vehicle meant that the panel would appear as a contrasting dark ( i . e . cooler ) area through thermal viewers . CIPs first saw widespread use in the Iraq War where nearly all coalition vehicles were equipped with these devices , usually mounted on the sides and rear of the body and / or turret . Some were even mounted on the driver and front passenger doors of Humvee s with a special cutout so the door handle could still be accessed through the panel , as well as on the hood between the windshield and the top grille .
