6th Division ( Iraq ) The 6th Division is a formation of the Iraqi Army , first formed after 1959 , converted to armoured status by 1973 , but disbanded in 2003 . It was reformed as part of the new army in August 2005 . The division was present during the Yom Kippur War on the Golan Heights , but does not appear to have seen much action . One of its components during the war was the 30th Armoured Brigade . ( Pollack 174 ) It fought during several battles of the Iran - Iraq War . Later in the war , it was present at the Second Battle of Al Faw of 1988 with 7th Infantry Division . It operated with IV Corps during the Persian Gulf War and then fought against the Kurds in the north in 2000 . It was assigned to the III Corps just before the 2003 invasion of Iraq . At the time , it included the 25th Mechanised Brigade , 30th Armoured Brigade , and 70th Armoured Brigade . It was equipped with T - 55s and BMP - 1 s . It was rendered incapable for combat during the Battle of Nasiriyah in March 2003 , during the invasion . It was then dissolved along with the rest of the Iraqi Army by Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 2 . The reconstruction of the Iraqi Army began in 2003 . The units that would eventually form the 6th Division began to be created soon afterwards . " While most of the 6th Division ' s battalions are former Iraqi National Guard units , some with their origins in the ING ' s predecessor , the Iraqi Civil Defence Corps , the division headquarters was not formed until August 2005 . " The 6th Division is the oldest formation of the army in Baghdad . Its subordinate formations included : The division was previously commanded by Major General Mubdar Hatim al - Dulaimi , who was killed in 2006 . Current division order of battle is estimated by DJ Elliott as : The division is responsible for the Baghdad West sector . It is possible that the 54th Brigade may be attached to a new 15th Division ( a future airborne division ? ) planned for Baghdad - West . This will be created with the units in excess of the 25th Brigade as a base at FOB Kalsu in Iskandariyah . The former Baghdad Brigade was previously reported as having been re - designated the 56th Brigade . Now it has been re - subordinated to the 6th Motorized Division . ( DJ Elliott , Montrose Toast , http : / / home . comcast . net / ~ djyae / site / ? / blog / category / 8 / ) On 22 December 2009 , 135 members of the 56 / 6 Brigade completed mechanized infantry courses and qualified on the M113A2 Armored Personnel Carrier at the Camp Taji Armor School . M113A2s usually have a crew of 2 each and carry 11 infantry . This many crew graduating indicates that the 56 / 6 Brigade is converting to a Combined Arms or Armored Brigade since that is crew for 6 companies of mechanized infantry . The 56 / 6 Brigade has a brigade number belonging to the unformed 15th Division and could be a temporary assignment pending the formation of a new division .
Hafdasa C - 4 The HAFDASA C - 4 is a submachine gun of Argentinian origin and is chambered in 9mm and . 45 calibres . It has an aluminium lower receiver and is fed from a wide box magazine ( 50 rounds for 9x19mm Parabellum rounds and 40 rounds in . 45 ACP ) . Its magazine insert has a dust cover that folds open forward to form a grip shrouding the front of the magazines . The C - 4 was available with a fixed wooden stock , folding metal stock , full rifle stock and also came as a machine pistol which predates and even outperforms many modern submachine guns . History . Originally it was derived from the HAFDASA ' Ballester - Rigaud C1 ' model rifle , which was based on the famous Beretta Model 1918 / 30 submachinegun that was used , among others , by the police of the capital . The " Criolla " ( " Native " ) C - 2 was originally designed for crews of armored vehicles . Based on the C - 2 design , beginning in 1938 , Hafdasa manufactured the C - 4 in calibers 9mm and . 45 ACP . Its frame was built out of forged aluminum and was painted in green , black , or brown colors . They were originally semiautomatic , although it is known that some were modified at the factory for automatic fire . Those of caliber 9mm had a magazine capacity of 50 cartridges , while the . 45 model stored 40 rounds , a high capacity , especially for the era . The magazines are small in size , due to a design using two internal double - stack columns , and a feed selector to choose which column to feed from . Placing the feed selector in its central position prevents the weapon from firing . The Suomi KP - 31 Schillstrom 50 round " coffin " magazines used a similar dual - doublestack design , but lacked the column feed selector . As with all the weapons manufactured by HAFDASA , the C4 is a practically unbreakable and strong weapon , though as those of its epoch , quite heavy . Variants . = no teu cu C - 4 . The C - 4 was available with fixed and folding stocks for use of the paratroopers , but its design , had a flaw , the box was of cast aluminum , and personnel parachute jump was a torment from a plane with the weapon in their hands , and therefore ceased to be practiced . Z - 4 . The Z - 4 variant came with a full length rifle type stock .

Staff Sergeant Peterson ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : He was an acting platoon sergeant with Company K , near Eisern , Germany . When his company encountered an enemy battalion and came under heavy small - arms , machinegun , and mortar fire , the 2d Platoon was given the mission of flanking the enemy positions while the remaining units attacked frontally . S / Sgt . Peterson crept and crawled to a position in the lead and motioned for the 2d Platoon to follow . A mortar shell fell close by and severely wounded him in the legs , but , although bleeding and suffering intense pain , he refused to withdraw and continued forward . Two hostile machineguns went into action at close range . Braving this grazing fire , he crawled steadily toward the guns and worked his way alone to a shallow draw , where , despite the hail of bullets , he raised himself to his knees and threw a grenade into the nearest machinegun nest , silencing the weapon and killing or wounding all its crew . The second gun was immediately turned on him , but he calmly and deliberately threw a second grenade which rocked the position and killed all 4 Germans who occupied it . As he continued forward he was spotted by an enemy rifleman , who shot him in the arm . Undeterred , he crawled some 20 yards until a third machinegun opened fire on him . By almost superhuman effort , weak from loss of blood and suffering great pain , he again raised himself to his knees and fired a grenade from his rifle , killing 3 of the enemy guncrew and causing the remaining one to flee . With the first objective seized , he was being treated by the company aid man when he observed 1 of his outpost men seriously wounded by a mortar burst . He wrenched himself from the hands of the aid man and began to crawl forward to assist his comrade , whom he had almost reached when he was struck and fatally wounded by an enemy bullet . S / Sgt . Peterson , by his gallant , intrepid actions , unrelenting fighting spirit , and outstanding initiative , silenced 3 enemy machineguns against great odds and while suffering from severe wounds , enabling his company to advance with minimum casualties .

USA - 214 USA - 214 , known before launch as Advanced Extremely High Frequency 1 or AEHF SV - 1 , is a military communications satellite operated by the United States Air Force . It is the first of four spacecraft to be launched as part of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency program , which will replace the earlier Milstar system . The USA - 214 spacecraft was constructed by Lockheed Martin , and is based around the A2100 satellite bus . The spacecraft has a mass of and a design life of 14 years . It will be used to provide super high frequency and extremely high frequency communications for the armed forces of the United States , as well as those of the United Kingdom , the Netherlands , and Canada . Launch and orbital insertion . USA - 214 was launched by United Launch Alliance , using an Atlas V 531 carrier rocket flying from Space Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station . The launch occurred at 11 : 07 UTC on 14 August 2010 , and resulted in the spacecraft being deployed successfully into a geosynchronous transfer orbit with a perigee of , an apogee of , and 22 . 2° degrees inclination . The spacecraft was intended to manoeuvre from the transfer orbit into which it was launched to its operational geosynchronous orbit by means of a liquid - fueled apogee motor ( LAE ) and several Hall effect thruster s , a process which normally takes 105 days . However , the satellite ' s Liquid Apogee Engine motor malfunctioned shortly after ignition on both its first burn on 15 August 2010 and a second attempt on 17 August , and it was declared inoperable . To solve the problem , the perigee altitude was raised to 4700 km ( 2900 miles ) using twelve firings of the smaller Reaction Engine Assembly thrusters , originally intended for attitude control during LAE maneuvers . From this altitude , the solar arrays were deployed and the orbit was raised toward the operational orbit over the course of nine months using the 0 . 27 Newton Hall thrusters , a form of electric propulsion which is highly efficient , but produces very low thrust .
2007 Yazidi communities bombings The 2007 Yazidi communities bombings occurred at around 8pm local time on August 14 , 2007 , when four co - ordinated suicide bomb attacks detonated in the Yazidi towns of Kahtaniya and Jazeera ( Siba Sheikh Khidir ) , near Mosul . Iraqi Red Crescent ' s estimates say the bombs killed 796 and wounded 1 , 562 people , making this the Iraq War ' s most deadly car bomb attack during the period of major American combat operations . It was also the second deadliest act of terrorism in history , following only behind the September 11 attacks in the United States . Tensions and background . There had been tensions in the area in recent months , particularly between Yazidis and Sunni Muslims ( Muslims including Arabs and Kurds ) . Prior to the attack , some Yazidis living in the area received threatening letters calling them " infidels " . Leaflets were also distributed denouncing Yazidis as " anti - Islamic " and warning them that an attack was imminent . The attack might be connected to an incident wherein Du ’ a Khalil Aswad , a Yazidi teenage woman , was stoned to death . Aswad was believed to have wanted to convert in order to marry a Sunni . Two weeks later , after a video of the stoning appeared on the Internet , Sunni gunmen stopped minibuses filled with Yazidis ; 23 Yazidi men were forced from a bus and shot dead . The Sinjar area which has a mixed population of Kurds , Turkmen and Arabs was scheduled to vote in a plebiscite on accession to the Kurdish region in December 2007 . This caused hostility among the neighbouring Arab communities . A force of 600 Kurdish Peshmerga was subsequently deployed in the area , and ditches were dug around Yazidi villages to prevent further attacks . Details . The blasts targeted a religious minority , the Yazidi . The co - ordinated bombings involved a fuel tanker and three cars . An Iraqi interior ministry spokesman said that two tons of explosives were used in the blasts , which crumbled buildings , trapping entire families beneath mud bricks and other wreckage as entire neighborhoods were flattened . Rescuers dug underneath the destroyed buildings by hand to search for remaining survivors . " Hospitals here are running out of medicine . The pharmacies are empty . We need food , medicine and water otherwise there will be an even greater catastrophe , " said Abdul - Rahim al - Shimari , mayor of the Baaj district , which includes the devastated villages . Responsibility . The attacks carry Al - Qaeda ' s signature of multiple simultaneous attacks . No group claimed responsibility for the attack . " We ' re looking at Al - Qaeda as the prime suspect , " said Lieutenant - Colonel Christopher Garver , a United States military spokesman . The group is reported to have distributed leaflets denouncing Yazidis as " anti - Islamic " . Others , including Iraq ' s President , Jalal Talabani , blamed the bombings on " Iraqi Sunni Muslim Arab insurgents " seeking to undercut Premier Maliki ' s conclave to end political deadlock among the country ' s leaders . On September 3 , 2007 , the U . S . military reportedly killed the mastermind of the bombings , Abu Mohammed al - Afri .
