Until the 18 July 1884 the award of the order had also entitled the recipient if he was not already of that standing , to be raised to the following appointments and or ranks of the nobility : Both the Grand Cross and the First Class Members of the Order wore on formal occasions their orders in the form a Sash with the Order attached to the Bow and respectively an eight pointed and a four pointed breast Star .

Denied area The United States Department of Defense defines a denied area as " " an area under enemy or unfriendly control in which friendly forces cannot expect to operate successfully within existing operational constraints and force capabilities . " " When a reference is made to a friendly force denying an area to the enemy , such as a reference to friendly forces employing area - denial weapons , the intent is to create an area in which the enemy cannot operate without extreme risk . Land mine s can be used as area - denial weapons , and some modern semi - autonomous or remotely - controlled artillery units can serve this purpose as well . In theory , nuclear , biological , and chemical weapons can also serve this purpose , for varying lengths of times , though such weapons have not yet been used for this purpose in major wars , although such weapons have been used for other purposes . It ' s important to realize that some effective tactics for creating a denied area do not require a significant continuing commitment of personnel or additional material . For example , once a minefield is in place , no upkeep is required unless a significant percentage of the mines have been detonated or destroyed — no residual force commitment is required . This is why a denied area may well exist behind enemy lines when , if it were secured by friendly forces on the ground , it might be considered a forward position . However , it ' s equally important to realize that , when hostilities end , these areas can be very dangerous and expensive to clean up , assuming that one of the combatants is willing to . ( see UXO , bomb disposal , land mine , and the contamination concerns for unconventional weapon s ) . A dirty bomb is a potential option for an area denial weapon that might be more accessible to small paramilitary or terrorist groups .
