Battle of Mouzaki The Battle of Mouzaki ( ) occurred on 4 May 1878 between Greek irregulars with the cover support of the Greek Army against the Ottoman forces . It is one of the main events of the Greek revolts that erupted in Thessaly and Epirus during the Russo - Turkish War of 1877 – 1878 . Background . The creation of the independent Greek state spread irredentism to other , Ottoman areas with Greek inhabitants such as Thessaly , Epirus and Macedonia . In Western Thessaly , agitations had started without the official involvement of the Hellenic Army , but a committee of Greek Officers had been secretly sent so as to coordinate with local guerrilla bands the harassment of Ottoman troops . The headquarters was installed in Loutro Karditsas , under the overall command of Artillery Colonel Konstantinos Ischonomachos , aided by Captains Georgios Filaretos and Ioannis Igglesis . Events . Guerrilla warfare was already endemic in the area against Turks and Albanians . By the beginning of March 1878 , the local chieftain Thanassis Ziakas and his band of Agraphiote brigands had revolted in the villages of Vounista , Granista and Mesenikola . Kotsos Tzavaras , a veteran of the Greek War of Independence who was a senior sergeant in the Greek Army , also formed a compact force with Sarakatsan and Vlach klephts , many of them members of the infamous Arvanitakis gang . Both groups gathered together and directed an attack on the village of Mouzaki , which was a strategic point in the region , key to obtaining food and water . In addition , it was the opportunity to draw Ottoman troops from the large cities into the countryside . Battle . The news about these events , and the fact that there was a considerable population of Turkish landlords and Muslim Albanians in danger soon reached Trikala , where the authorities sent a detachment of troops under Moussa Gkeka so as to recover the village and suppress the rebellion . For the Greeks , it was a vital opportunity to defeat a major enemy , therefore troops from the regular Greek Army were deployed in order to support the irregulars . The Ottoman troops seemed not to expect to face any other forces than a gang of klepths as they have been used to do for years , so their strength was reduced to light cavalry and infantry troops . As a result , the Ottomans were taken by surprise and completely defeated by much stronger and better - equipped Greek troops under Lieutenants Georgios Alexandris and Takis Stournaris on 4 May 1878 . The Turks suffered heavy losses , and Gkeka himself was taken prisoner . Aftermath . The minor victory at Mouzaki was a morale boost for the rebels , but it did not change reality on the ground : the Ottomans soon stamped out the rebellion , while Greece was pressured by the Great Powers to remove support of the rebels . In the end however , Thessaly would be incorporated into the Greek kingdom in 1881 .

Avro Andover The Avro Andover was a 1920s British military transport aircraft built by Avro for the Royal Air Force . Four aircraft were built , in two versions . Three aircraft , the Type 561 , were used as flying ambulances . The sole example of the Type 563 was used as a 12 - seater transport . Design . At the beginning of the 1920s , the Royal Air Force required a successor for the outdated Airco DH . 10 that was used on the Cairo to Baghdad " Desert Air Route " . In response , Avro designed and constructed the Avro Andover , a single - engined biplane , designed to serve as a passenger plane and as an air ambulance . The fuselage was a steel tube frame , covered with canvas and plywood . While the fuselage was a completely new design , the wings , undercarriage and the tail unit were taken from the Avro Aldershot bomber . The pilot and navigator sat in an open cockpit directly under the leading edge of the upper wing ; a passageway led from the cockpit to the passenger cabin . The aircraft held twelve passengers ( six on each side of the centre aisle ) or six stretchers . The most obvious characteristics of the Andover were the two large fuel tanks on the upper wings , and the dual exhaust pipes of the Rolls - Royce Condor III engine . Operations . The first flight of the Andover was on 28 June 1924 . Because the " Desert Air Route " was transferred to Imperial Airways , no order was placed by the RAF , so Avro manufactured only three Type 561 , which were transferred to RAF Halton , location of Princess Mary ' s RAF Hospital . In spite of the lack of commercial success , a single Type 563 variant was developed by Avro , which had an additional washroom and a baggage compartment . After test flights in March 1925 in Hamble and Gosport , this passenger aircraft was lent to Imperial Airways and made cross - channel trial flights in the summer of 1925 . This was the first Avro aircraft to be used in airline service . Imperial Airways returned the aircraft to the RAF in January 1927 .

Fourth Military District The Fourth Military District existed in the American South during the Reconstruction era that followed the American Civil War . It included the occupation troops in the states of Arkansas and Mississippi . At various times , the district was commanded by generals Edward Ord , Alvan Cullem Gillem , and Adelbert Ames . Following the completion of the Civil War , the Federal government under President of the United States Andrew Johnson sought to restore order within the states that had composed the defeated Confederate States of America . Johnson , a loyal Tennesseean , advocated a lenient strategy to remove all commercial and social restrictions between the states , with the intention for the South to return to its former position in the Union . He believed that former Confederates should receive amnesty for their actions during the war and regain full rights of citizenship . However , the Radical Republicans in Congress vehemently disagreed , and passed the 1866 Reconstruction Acts , which divided the former Confederacy into military districts , in which a military commander controlled all social , economic , and political activity in the region . The Fourth Military District comprised the states of Mississippi and Arkansas , with its headquarters in Vicksburg . Edward Ord served as the district ' s first commander , with Alvan C . Gillem , like Johnson a loyal Tennessean , in charge of the sub - district of Mississippi . Gillem was later appointed as the district ' s commander . He favored the policy of leniency towards the former Confederates , invoking the displeasure of the Radicals in Congress . When Ulysses S . Grant became president , he removed Gillem from command and reassigned him to Texas , replacing him again with Ord , a personal friend who had served under Grant during the Civil War . When Ord was later assigned command of the District of California , another former Civil War general , Adelbert Ames , assumed command in 1868 , and was also named as Governor of Mississippi , replacing former Confederate general Benjamin G . Humphreys . When Mississippi was readmitted to the Union in 1870 , the Fourth Military District was abolished and control of the state reverted to the newly elected state government .

Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration An Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration ( ACTD ) enables the evaluation of mature advanced technology for usage by the United States Military . ACTDs allow technology evaluation earlier and cheaper than would be possible through the formal acquisition of new production capabilities . ACTDs must be sponsored by an operational user with approval and oversight from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts ( DUSD ( AS & C ) ) . No ACTDs were initiated after 2006 , when the DUSD ( AS & C ) initiated the follow - on Joint Concept Technology Demonstration ( JCTD ) program to emphasize multiservice technology development and improved planning for transition to operations . ACTD programs . The following programs were completed under the ACTD framework
