Siedlęcin Tower Siedlęcin Tower is the 14th century tower castle , situated in a village of Siedlęcin in the administrative district of Gmina Jeżów Sudecki , within Jelenia Góra County , Lower Silesian Voivodeship , in south - western Poland . The keep in Siedlęcin is one of the best - preserved examples of such buildings in Central Europe ; its construction was probably started in 1313 or 1314 by Henry I of Jawor . He and his wife Agnes of Bohemia also commissioned the medieval mural paintings in the great hall of the keep . The Siedlęcin tower , surrounded by a moat , is a keep of a relatively modest sort , which combines the functions of housing , ceremony , and defence in a vertical disposition analogous to those found in other castles in Europe : the lower storeys were designed for defence and for trade and business ; the upper floors consisted of living quarters , and fulfilled the ceremonial functions of the dukes ; the topmost floor also served defensive purposes .
Area Denial Artillery Munition Area Denial Artillery Munition ( ADAM ) is a family of US land mines and 155 mm artillery projectiles . The mines carried by these projectiles are the M67 long - duration anti - personnel mine s and M72 short - duration anti - personnel landmines intended to maim or kill enemy combatants and / or civilian bystanders . The duration refers to the self - destruct time , which is set at the time of manufacture to 4 or 48 hours . Once the mine lands , it launches seven tripwire s before arming itself . Any disturbance of the tripwires will trigger the mine . The mine is entirely electrically detonated , if the battery level of the mine drops below a pre - set level - the mine self - destructs . Even if the mine does not self - destruct , the battery will fully discharge after 14 days , rendering the mine inactive . The mines contain a spherical warhead in a void that also contains 51 g of M10 liquid propellant . The void allows the propellant fluid to settle under gravity in the correct position beneath the warhead so that the warhead is always launched in an upward direction irrespective of the initial orientation of the mine . Upon activation the spherical warhead is launched upward to a height of 1 – 2 m where it detonates , producing approximately 600 fragments travelling at a velocity of 900 m / s .

Britain had tasked the defence of British Columbia to the Imperial Japanese Navy ' s North American Task Force . In 1917 the submarine was transferred to the east coast . The transfer to the east coast was for both submarines of this class , with their mother ship , the submarine tender . Its transit through the Panama Canal was the first time a Canadian warship transitted the Panama Canal under the White Ensign .

Special designation A special designation in the United States Army is a " nickname granted to a military organization " which has been authorized by the Center of Military History and recognized through a certificate signed by the Chief of Military History . Once approved , these designations may only be used by the officially recognized unit . Format . Special designations appear on the list in capital letters . Unofficial designations are not included . For example , the 1st Cavalry Regiment often uses " Black Hawk , " but officially adopted 1st REGIMENT OF DRAGOONS . The 4th Armored Division is sometimes called the " Breakthrough Division " , but the division never officially pursued the designation , preferring to be " known by its deeds alone . " Requesting a Special Designation . In most cases , only units authorized an organizational color , distinguishing flag , or guidon ( excluding organic elements of color - bearing organizations ) are entitled to special designations . Units wishing official recognition of special designations must request this designation from the United States Army Center of Military History . Special designations appear on any new Lineage and Honors Certificates issued to a unit . Designation vs . motto . There is often confusion between a motto and a special designation , but the former is a heraldic item controlled by the United States Army Institute of Heraldry , while the latter is usually a unit " nickname " . For example , the 3d Infantry ' s special designation as " THE OLD GUARD " , stems from General Winfield Scott ' s description of the unit as The Old Guard of the army . The regiment ' s motto is " NOLI ME TANGERE " ( " Do Not Touch Me " ) . The intent of the special designation program was not to duplicate an existing motto , but to provide units with another opportunity to express a direct association " with some person , place , thing , event , or function having particular significance to the unit [ see Chapter 6 , AR 870 - 5 ] . " In short , it is a way in which unit personnel and others can refer to the unit .
Battle of Salsu The Battle of Salsu was an enormous battle that occurred in the year AD 612 , during the second Goguryeo - Sui War , between the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo and the Chinese Sui Dynasty . Goguryeo cavalry forces , pursuing the Sui army , attacked and defeated it at the Salsu River . History . In AD 612 the Sui Emperor Yangdi invaded Goguryeo with over one million men . However , Goguryeo defiantly resisted its enemy . Emperor Yangdi dispatched 305 , 000 troops to Pyongyang , capital of Goguryeo . Goguryeo Gen . Eulji Mundeok defended fortresses against the Sui army and navy for several months and destroyed the Sui troops while retreating into Goguryeo territory . An ambush at Salsu ( Chongchon River ) inflicted massive casualties on the Sui forces . When the Sui army had reached Salsu the water level was shallow , as Eulji Mundeok had already cut off the flow of water with a dam . When the Sui troops were halfway across the river , Eulji opened the dam and the onslaught of water drowned thousands of Sui soldiers . The Goguryeo cavalry then charged the remaining Sui forces . The surviving Sui troops were forced to retreat at a breakneck pace to the Liaodong Peninsula to avoid being killed . This led to an overall campaign loss of all but 2 , 700 Sui troops out of 305 , 000 men , The Battle of Salsu is listed among the most lethal " classical formation " battles in world history . With victory over the Sui dynasty at the Salsu , Goguryeo eventually won the war itself , while the Sui Dynasty , crippled by the enormous loss of manpower and resources as a result of its Korean campaigns , started to crumble from within and was finally brought down by internal strife , to be replaced soon thereafter by the Tang .
