Hannibal Gisco Hannibal Gisco ( c . 300 - 290 – 258 BC ) was a Carthaginian military commander in charge of both land armies and naval fleets during the First Punic War against Rome . His efforts proved ultimately unsuccessful and his eventual defeat in battle led to his downfall and execution . Life and career . The details of Hannibal Gisco ' s early life and career are unknown . Agrigentum . Hannibal Gisco ' s first appearance in the sources is in 261 BC , as the general in command of the garrison besieged by the Romans in Agrigentum . Despite the tenacity shown by Gisco and his men for months and the arrival of reinforcements led by Hanno , the city eventually fell into Roman hands . Gisco managed to escape to Carthage in the late stages of the battle . The Straits of Messina . Apparently , the defeat at Agrigentum did not bar Gisco from continuing leadership . In the following year , 260 BC , Gisco returned as the admiral in charge of the Carthaginian fleet in the Straits of Messina . The Romans were about to launch their first - ever navy , and Carthage had determined that this innovation should be thwarted . Gisco defeated and captured the Roman consul Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina in the Lipari encounter , which earned Scipio the nickname Asina ( " Donkey " ) . However , this victory was robbed of practical meaning with the bulk of the Roman fleet continuing to maneuver in the surrounding waters . Mylae . Later in 260 BC , Gisco was to engage this fleet and to be the first Punic general to encounter the Roman " corvus " boarding device with its deadly effect . Confident in Carthage ' s superiority at sea , Gisco deployed his ships for the Battle of Mylae in the traditional long line arrangement . Although inexperienced in sea battle , the Romans , led by consul Gaius Duilius , heavily defeated the Carthaginian fleet , mainly due to the innovative use of land tactics in naval warfare . Hannibal was recalled , but his fall from favor lasted not very long . In 258 , he was sent to Sardinia , which he had to defend against the Romans . However , he was no match for the Roman commander Gaius Sulpicius Paterculus , who defeated him . Having lost the confidence of his peers , Hannibal Gisco was subsequently executed for incompetence shortly afterwards , together with other defeated Punic generals . According to some references he was crucified by his own men .

Halleck Tustenuggee Halleck Tustenuggee ( also spelled Halek Tustenuggee and Hallock Tustenuggee ) ( about 1807 – ? ) was a 19th - century Seminole warchief . He fought against the United States government in the Second Seminole War and for the government in the American Civil War . " Tustenuggee , " translated as " Warrior " or " Grand Chief of War , " was a common surname for Seminole warchiefs . Halleck was born in central Florida in the " Miccosuke " clan . He vehemently opposed the seizure of Indian lands by whites , and even killed his own sister by cutting her throat when she talked about surrender . He fought at the Battle of Lake Okeechobee on December 25 , 1837 , and took control of the Seminole force from their aged warchief Arpeika ( also known as " Sam Jones " ) . On April 22 , 1839 , Halleck and other Seminole leaders met with Maj . Gen . Alexander Macomb , the new military commander in Florida , and received written assurance that their people could indefinitely remain in Florida if they stayed near Lake Okeechobee . Both parties believed that the war was finally over , but attacks by other bands of Indians in south Florida continued and the ceasefire soon ended . Halleck was severely wounded by U . S . troops at a skirmish at Fort King ( in present day Ocala ) in April 1840 against Capt . Gabriel J . Rains ( a future Civil War Confederate General ) . After he recovered , Halleck Tustenuggee went on a bloody rampage in north Florida for two years , leading a series of raids and skirmishes . In January 1842 , the army sent the Second Infantry Regiment in pursuit of Halleck ' s warband . They located the Seminoles ' camp near Lake George , but the Indians escaped capture . Halleck , with a band of seventy warriors , was finally defeated by Federal troops on April 19 , 1842 , near the settlement of " Peliklakaha Hammock " ( in today ' s Lake County , Florida ) , the last battle of the Second Seminole War in Florida . The chief traveled from fort to fort talking about a formal surrender , all the while collecting supplies and rations for his remaining people . Finally , Federal officer William J . Worth , wise to the trick , lured Halleck ' s family to Fort King with a promise of food and whiskey at a celebration . Halleck soon arrived and was captured . He was held as a prisoner of war with his people on Cedar Key . On July 14 , Halleck and 66 of his followers were transported out of Florida for the West . They arrived at Fort Gibson in the Indian Territory on September 5 , 1842 . Halleck briefly returned to Florida in 1850 to try to negotiate with Chief Billy Bowlegs , who was still opposing resettlement . During the Civil War , Halleck Tustenuggee supported the Federal government . When Confederate troops and pro - South Indian tribes moved against pro - Union Indians , Halleck joined the band of Creek leader Opothleyahola . He led his Seminole warriors in three battles — Round Mountain , Chusto - Talasah and Chustenahlah , where they were defeated and forced to flee to Kansas in severe winter weather . Halleck and his survivors settled near Fort Row , where several died of exposure and disease .
Amphibious ready group An Amphibious Readiness Group ( ARG ) of the United States Navy consists of a Navy element — a group of warship s known as an amphibious task force ( ATF ) — and a landing force ( LF ) of United States Marines ( and occasionally United States Army troops ) , in total about 5 , 000 people . Together , these elements and supporting units are trained , organized , and equipped to perform amphibious operations . Composition . A typical U . S . Amphibious Readiness Group consists of : The resulting forces may range from a single Amphibious Ready Group / Marine Expeditionary Unit ( Special Operations Capable ) [ ARG / MEU ( SOC ) ] , to a larger organization capable of employing a Marine Expeditionary Brigade ( MEB ) or even a Marine Expeditionary Force ( MEF ) . Amphibious forces must be capable of performing missions ranging from humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to major theater war ( MTW ) . Additionally , they can be configured and deployed to operate at various levels of conflict and in multiple theaters simultaneously . They can provide a presence that may preclude adventurous actions by a potential belligerent . Because they are sea - based and because the decision to position and engage amphibious forces will always be easily reversible , amphibious forces greatly expand the repertoire of available response options . Among other national resources , they are particularly well placed to provide a demonstration of the United States ' s commitment and resolve to friends and allies as well as adversaries . Normally two to three ARGs are forward deployed : one in the Mediterranean Sea / Persian Gulf – Indian Ocean area , and one or two in the western Pacific Ocean area . The other ships of the ARG are either working up to deploy , in transit , or in overhaul . One ARG / MEU , known as Task Force 76 / Expeditionary Strike Group 7 , is forward based in Sasebo and Okinawa , Japan . In most cases , the ATF will be deployed under the protective umbrella of a carrier strike group ( CSG ) , which provides cover for the ATF and combat support to operations ashore . Ships of the ATF are capable of embarking and supporting other forces when the mission requires , including the United States Army , Special Operations Forces ( SOF ) , or other joint and combined forces .

Automatic grenade launcher An automatic grenade launcher or grenade machine gun is a grenade launcher firing rounds in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large - capacity magazine . They can be attached to a tripod . Automatic launchers include the Mk 19 , Vektor Y3 , AGS - 17 , and the HK GMG , which all fire at a higher velocity than related shoulder - fired grenades . They generally function as large - caliber machine guns with a relatively low rate of fire , used from an emplaced position in a similar way to a heavy machine gun . The heavy equivalent of the XM29 is the XM307 ACSW automatic grenade launcher that is easily convertible between the 25 mm grenade ammunition and standard . 50 BMG cartridges . Both are intended to fire programmable " smart " grenades capable of being set to explode at a certain distance from launch or at a certain height above the ground . This gives the ability to hit targets inside rooms or behind hard cover that would normally not be reachable by small arms fire . Portable variants . A man - portable automatic grenade launcher is the Type 87 of Chinese origin , which is capable of firing up to 500rpm in full automatic .
