USS McCampbell ( DDG - 85 ) USS " McCampbell " ( DDG - 85 ) is an " Arleigh Burke " - class destroyer in the United States Navy , named for Captain David McCampbell ( 1910 – 1996 ) , the Navy ' s leading ace in World War II . She was built at the Bath Iron Works in Maine . She arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka , Japan as part of the US Navy ' s Forward Deployed Naval Forces in July 2007 , and is now permanently homeported there . " McCampbell " maintains on board an active VBSS team to conduct anti piracy , anti - smuggling , and anti - terrorist operations . The ship was an active participant in " IMDEX " , and the VBSS team was a centerpiece in the multilateral training effort held in conjunction with the exposition . On 23 June 2009 , it was reported that the " McCampbell " had taken over from the USS " John S . McCain " in shadowing the North Korean ship " Kang Nam 1 " toward Burma in enforcement of a new United Nations resolution , United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874 . In March 2011 , USS " McCampbell " was the first US Navy vessel on station off northeastern Honshu , Japan to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and deliver food , supplies , and other material aid directly to survivors . Later , after the arrival of the carrier " Ronald Reagan " , the ship continued relief efforts as an element in Carrier Strike Group Seven , using the carrier as a supply distribution hub through early April . On 13 June 2011 it was reported that " McCampbell " had intercepted the North Korean - flagged merchant vessel MV " Light " , en route to Burma , on 26 May , south of Shanghai . " McCampbell " requested permission to board the vessel , which was suspected of carrying missile technology , but was refused . After several days the MV " Light " turned around and returned to North Korea , tracked by surveillance aircraft and satellites . Notes . USS " McCampbell " rescued five Filipino fishermen on or about October 24 , 2012 . During a routine night mission , the embarked helicopter crew of USS McCampbell discovered five men signaling for help aboard a mostly - sunk fishing vessel . The helicopter crew deployed flotation rafts while McCampbell dispatched two boats to assist in the rescue . USS " McCampbell " was operating with Carrier Strike Group Five at that time .
Finnish frigate Hämeenmaa Hämeenmaa was a Finnish . The class was called the " Hämeenmaa " - class in Finland since the ship had some unique modifications ( i . e . British submarine hunting equipment ) . The two 37 mm twin guns were also replaced with two 40 mm single AA guns in 1975 . " Hämeenmaa " was rebuilt into a minelayer in the 1980s . A communications central replaced the Hedgehog mounting . The torpedo tubes were removed . A bow twin 30 mm AK - 230 was added . " Hämeenmaa " was decommissioned in 1985 . Operational service . The " Hämeenmaas " were acquired from the Soviet Union in the mid - 1960s , to be used as gun training ships . They formed the " Escort Flotilla " ( ) together with the " Nuoli " class fast gunboats . The commissioning of the " Turunmaa " and " Karjala " in the late 1960s led however to personnel shortages in the Finnish Navy ( Finland had a naval manpower restriction after World War II ) and the navy was forced to limit the use of its two " Hämeenmaa " frigates . They were initially used one at a time and finally decided to retire them . " Hämeenmaa " was in Finnish Navy service between 1964 - 1985 . The sister ship " Uusimaa " was decommissioned in 1979 and cannibalized for spare parts for the " Hämeenmaa " . Both ships had already served a few years in the Soviet Navy before sale to Finland .

538th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron The 538th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron is provisional unt of United States Air Force . It is assigned to the 438th Air Expeditionary Wing , and is currently located at Camp Bastion , Afghanistan . Overview . The squadron was activated by Air Education and Training Command . Its mission is the training and qualification of Afghanistan Air Force C - 27 flight engineers and loadmasters . Since November 2009 , Airmen have been training Afghan C - 27 pilots and loadmasters to conduct strategic and tactical airlift , airdrops and presidential support . Advisers have a clear goal to pass on to the Afghan airmen the skills to transport cargo , people and assets vital to their security . The squadron is also part of NATO Air Training Command - Afghanistan . History . Activated as a III Fighter Command P - 47 Thunderbolt replacement training unit during World War II , 1943 – 1944 . During the early years of the Cold War , activated in 1955 as an Air Defense Command interceptor squadron for the defense of the Grand Coolie Dam and the Hanford Atomic Energy Reservation , Washington State . Initially equipped with F - 86D Sabre Interceptor s ; in the Spring of 1957 , the 56th FIS began re - equipping with the North American F - 86L Sabre , an improved version of the F - 86D which incorporated the Semi Automatic Ground Environment , or SAGE . The transition into the F - 86L was short - lived however , as the squadron began transition into the " missile - witha - man - in - it " , the Lockheed F - 104 A in May 1958 , becoming the 4th ADC squadron equipped with the Starfighter . In addition , the squadron received the two - seat , dual - control , combat trainer F - 104B . The performance of the F - 104B was almost identical to that of the F - 104A , but the lower internal fuel capacity reduced its effective range considerably . However , the F - 104A was not very well suited for service as an interceptor . Its low range was a problem for North American air defense , and its lack of all - weather capability made it incapable of operating in conjunction with the SAGE system . Service with the ADC was consequently quite brief , and the F - 104As of the 538th FIS were transferred to the Air National Guard . With the transfer of the Starfighters , the 56th FIS was inactivated at Larson AFB on 1 July 1960 .
Brigadier ( United Kingdom ) Brigadier ( abbreviated Brig ) is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines . Brigadier is the superior rank to colonel , but subordinate to major - general . While the corresponding rank of brigadier general in many other nations is a general officer rank , the British Army considers it a field officer rank . The rank has a NATO rank code of OF - 6 , placing it equivalent to the Royal Navy commodore and the Royal Air Force air commodore ranks . It is also equivalent to a brigadier general ( 1 - star general ) in the United States of America . Insignia . The rank insignia for a brigadier is a crown over three " pips " ( " Bath " stars ) . The rank insignia for a brigadier - general was crossed sword and baton . Usage . In 1922 the appointment of brigadier - general was replaced by those of colonel - commandant and colonel on the staff . These appointments , although reflecting its modern role in the British Army as a senior colonel rather than a junior general , were not well received and were both replaced with brigadier in 1928 . Until shortly after World War II , brigadier was an appointment conferred on colonels ( as commodore was an appointment conferred on naval captains ) rather than a substantive rank . The Royal Marines retained this until 1997 , when both commodore and brigadier became substantive ranks . Junior officer rank . Historically , " brigadier " and " sub - brigadier " were the junior officer ranks in the Troops of Horse Guards . This corresponded to French practice , where a brigadier was the cavalry equivalent of a corporal . To reflect the status of the Horse Guards as Household Troops , brigadiers ranked with lieutenant s and sub - brigadiers with cornet s in other cavalry regiments . When the Horse Guards were disbanded in 1788 , the brigadiers and sub - brigadiers of the 1st and 2nd Troops became lieutenants and cornets in the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Life Guards , respectively . Brigadier remains the lowest officer rank in the Royal Company of Archers , the Queen ' s Bodyguard for Scotland . There are twelve brigadiers on the establishment , ranking after ensign s .

An Israeli plane bombed the post with a precision - guided bomb , and Israeli artillery shelled the post 14 times within six hours . A total of four UN observers were killed . General Pellegrini said that the attack was " probably deliberate " , and that he had personally phoned the Israelis " five or six times " without being able to reach past secretaries . Israel , however , maintains that Hezbollah had launched rockets in the vicinity , and four Hezbollah fighters had taken shelter in a bunker under the position . Following a number of incidents between UN peacekeepers and Israeli fighter jets , Pellegrini warned that the Israeli flights over Lebanon violated the cease fire resolution , and threatened that force may be used to stop the incursions . On the 2 February 2007 Pellegrini passed the command of the UNIFIL to the Italian General Claudio Graziano .
AK - 101 The AK - 101 is an assault rifle of the Kalashnikov series . The AK - 101 is designed for the world export market , using 5 . 56×45mm NATO cartridges , which is the standard of most NATO armies . The AK - 101 is marketed at those looking for a weapon that combines the logistical compatibility and familiarity of the 5 . 56×45mm NATO round with the reliability of a Kalashnikov . It is designed with modern and composite materials , including plastics that reduce weight and improve accuracy . Many of the improvements found in the AK - 101 are also present in the AK - 103 and the rest of the AK - 10x series of rifles . The AK - 101 is a selective fire weapon that can be fired in either semi - automatic or fully automatic mode . The disassembly procedure for the AK - 101 is identical to that of the AK - 74 . The AK - 101 has an attachment rail installed on the side of the receiver for mounting scopes and other optical sights , which will accept most types of Russian and European AK optics . The rifle accepts most synthetic and metal AK - 74 - style magazines with 30 round capacity . The AK - 101 has a barrel with an AK - 74 style muzzle brake attached to the barrel to control muzzle climb . The AK - 102 , AK - 104 and AK - 105 are the designations given to the more compact carbine variants of the AK - 10x rifle series , firing the 5 . 56×45mm NATO , 7 . 62×39mm M43 and 5 . 45×39mm M74 rifle rounds respectively . These carbines differ from the normal rifles of the series in that they have much shorter barrels , only in length . These AK - 10x carbines , much like their rifle counterparts , were made primarily for export . A common misconception is that the AK - 101 has entered service as the main assault rifle of the Russian Federation , but this is not true ; the AK - 74M is still the main assault rifle with the AK - 105 being introduced alongside , both chambered for 5 . 45×39mm . The AKM firing 7 . 62 mm Soviet rounds is in limited service with selected units in the Russian army , and the AK - 103 is in service with some Russian civil police agencies . The advanced AN - 94 is entering limited service in the elite forces of the Russian military , some Russian police forces , and the Ministry of Internal Affairs . The AK - 101 is chambered in 5 . 56mm NATO and features a black glass - filled polyamide side folding stock . The side folding stock looks similar to a normal fixed stock , but folds and locks securely to the left side of the receiver . It has a cutout to compensate for the side rail .
