Resistance ends when a unit surrender s , when all members of unit are killed or captured , or when a unit disperses . The term is used in the phrase " organized resistance has ceased " to describe the end of a battle or campaign when no formal surrender occurs after a unit is defeated . The term also occurs in the phrase " pocket of resistance . " When a unit disperses , individuals who avoid capture may continue to resist the opposing force , e . g . by joining or forming a resistance movement , but this resistance is no longer " organized resistance " in the military sense .

Second Washington Conference The Second Washington Conference ( 19 – 25 June 1942 ) , did not have a code name because it was hastily called and was regarded at the time as a set of military staff conversations rather than a formal conference . The two delegations were led by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the American President Franklin D . Roosevelt . Immediately before the Conference started , Roosevelt held preparatory talks with Churchill in his home town of Hyde Park , New York on 19 and 20 June . The conference discussed how the Western Allies could best aid the Soviet Union . The Americans were keen to open up a Second Front in France , but the British did not think that it was yet a feasible option and Churchill proposed developing a joint campaign in the Mediterranean Theater leading to an attack on Italy as the " soft under - belly " of the Axis . Agreement was reached to start preparations for an invasion of the North African Colonies of Vichy France ( Operation Torch ) . One of the first concrete measures taken by Roosevelt to facilitate this strategy was to appoint General Dwight D . Eisenhower as the Commander - in - Chief of U . S . Forces in the European Theater of Operations on 25 June . Roosevelt and Churchill also held discussions with members of the Pacific War Council , King Peter II of Yugoslavia and his Foreign Minister , and with Soviet and Chinese representatives with whom they discussed strategic problems .
Round - robin ( document ) Round - robin is a document signed by multiple parties in a circle to make it more difficult to determine the order in which it was signed , thus preventing a ringleader from being identified . Sometimes this may also refer to the document signed when a crew makes a pact to rise up against their captain . Origin . The term dates from the 17th Century French " ruban rond " ( " round ribbon " ) . This described the practice of signatories to petitions against authority ( usually Government officials petitioning the Crown ) appending their names on a document in a non - hierarchical circle or ribbon pattern ( and so disguising the order in which they have signed ) so that none may be identified as a ringleader . This practice was adopted by sailors petitioning officers in the Royal Navy ( first recorded 1731 ) .
Operation Royal Marine Operation Royal Marine was a military operation in World War II , in which naval mines were floated down rivers from France into Germany to destroy bridges and shipping . Promoted by Winston Churchill , it was planned in November 1939 . However , Sir Edward Spears claimed that he had originally proposed the idea to Churchill when they visited eastern France in August 1939 , but by the time the operation was put into practice Churchill believed the idea was his . Trials of the mines were carried out in the Thames in December 1939 . Each mine contained 15 pounds ( 6 . 8 kilograms ) of TNT and , depending upon type , either floated or bounced along the riverbed . The mines were especially developed for the operation by MD1 . Despite concerns by the French Government during the Phoney War over possible German reprisals against French waterways , it was intended that the operation would take place simultaneously with Operation Wilfred , a scheme to mine the waters around Norway in order to force German convoys using them for transporting Swedish iron ore into international waters , where they could be attacked by the Royal Navy . Simultaneously attacking Germany with riverine mines was intended to deflect criticism that the Allies were not making war on Germany , only the small countries around it that they claimed to be protecting . However , a decision of the Anglo French Supreme War Council on 28 March 1940 to commence Operation Royal Marine on 4 April was vetoed shortly afterwards by the French Government , leaving Operation Wilfred to take place on its own . In the event , Operation Wilfred was aborted shortly afterwards because of the German invasion of Norway . Nevertheless , the river mining operation was carried out at the start of the Battle of France in May . During the first week of the battle , naval personnel under Commander Roger Wellby put 1 , 700 mines in the Rhine , resulting in the temporary suspension of most of the river traffic between Karlsruhe and Mainz and causing damage to the barrage at Karlsruhe and several pontoon bridges . By 24 May , over 2 , 300 mines had been released into the Rhine , Moselle and Meuse . It was also planned that the Royal Air Force would drop mines into the Rhine between Bingen and Coblenz , into canals , and into river estuaries feeding the Heligoland Bight . Small quantities of mines were laid by aircraft during the closing stages of the battle .
Captain of the Fleet In the Royal Navy of the 18th and 19th centuries a captain of the fleet could be appointed to assist an admiral when the admiral had ten or more ships to command . This was a post rather than a rank in itself , and if its holder ' s permanent rank was below that of an admiral then he ranked just below the most junior rear - admiral and was entitled to the pay and allowance of a rear - admiral whilst he held the post . The admiral ' s commands would be issued through his captain of the fleet , and the fleet ' s responses would be passed back to him . This role of intermediary between the overall commander and the commanded was analogous to that of a commander on a large warship , through whom orders were relayed to the crew and responses received . He would also act in some senses and instances as the admiral ' s chief of staff . A captain of the fleet would usually be stationed on the admiral ' s flagship as its " first captain " , and so that ship would also have a flag captain or " second captain " for everyday command of the ship itself .
Battle on the Nemiga River The Battle on the Nemiga River ( , ) was a battle of the Russia n feudal period that occurred on March 3 , 1067 on the Niamiha River . The description of the battle is the first reference to Minsk in the chronicles of Belarusian history . Background . At the end of the tenth century , Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich , then ruling over Novgorod the Great , proposed a marriage between himself and the daughter of Rogvolod , the prince of Polotsk , who had rebuffed him , saying she did not want to take off the shoes of a slave ' s son . In retaliation , Vladimir attacked and pillaged Polotsk , killed Rogvolod , and took his daughter Rogneda by force , adding the city to his territorial possessions . He placed his son , Izyaslav , in Polotsk . Iziaslav ' s son , Bryachislav of Polotsk , succeeded his father in 1001 . By 1021 , Bryacheslav set his sights on Novgorod ; he attacked and ransacked the city , but on the journey home , he was overtaken by Vladimir ' s son Yaroslav I the Wise , then ruling in Novgorod , on the banks of the Sudoma River ; he was defeated and fled , leaving behind his Novgorodian captives and loot . Yaroslav pursued him and forced Bryachislav to make peace the following year , after which the Polotsk prince settled down . After Bryacheslav ' s death in 1044 , his son Vseslav succeeded him as Prince of Polotsk . While his father had been an irritant to the Rus princes in the Middle Dnieper region , Vseslav ' s campaigns in the north were much more serious . He unsuccessfully besieged Pskov in 1065 , but the following year he drove out the young Novgoroidan prince Mstislav Izyaslavich , son of the Grand Prince of Kiev Izyaslav Yaroslavich , and pillaged Novgorod again . The seizure of Novgorod not only was a personal insult to the grand prince , whose son fled back to Kiev , but it threatened the Middle Dnieper princes ' ties to the north – to Scandinavia , the Baltic , and tribute from the north . It also threatened the political power of the Yaroslavichi , the sons of Yaroslav the Wise , who had to that point been preeminent . Progress of the battle . The three sons of Yaroslav – Iziaslav , Vsevolod , and Sviatoslav – joined forces and marched north through the winter of 1067 . They burned Minsk , then held by Polotsk , and as this is the first reference to Minsk in the chronicles , it is celebrated as the founding date of the city . The Yaroslavichi army came upon Vseslav ' s army in the deep snow on the Niamiha River on March 3 and defeated him . The precise course of battle is unknown , though it has become legendary as a bloodbath ; " The Tale of Igor ' s Campaign " referred to " the bloody banks of the Nemiga " being sown not with blessings but with bones . Aftermath . Vseslav fled back Polotsk and the Yaroslav princes did not pursue him . However , in June , after the battle , the Yaroslav princes called for negotiations , “ kissed the cross ” ( took an oath ) and made promises of future safety ; Vseslav was invited to Iziaslav ' s camp to celebrate the peace and was promptly arrested together with two of his sons and taken to prison in Kiev .
