Cours ( Byzantine general ) Cours or Curs ( ) was an East Roman ( Byzantine ) general of the 6th century . Biography . Cours is recorded as being a " Scythian " , which in effect implies most probably a Hunnic ( or perhaps Gothic ) origin . Nothing is known of his early life , except that he served in Italy in the 550s under Narses . He first appears in 574 , after the outbreak of a new war with Sassanid Persia in 572 , when he was placed , along with general Theodorus , in command of the Byzantine army of Armenia . Probably late in the same year , or in 575 , they invaded Caucasian Albania , taking hostages from the Albani , Sabiri , and other tribes to ensure their loyalty . They resumed operations in Albania in the next year , but their absence from Armenia was exploited by the Persian shah Khosrau I ( r . 531 – 579 ) , who passed through Armenia unmolested and invaded Byzantine territory , reaching as far as Sebastea ; there , however , he was confronted by the converging armies of Curs and the " magister militum per Orientem " , Justinian . While Khosrau , confronted by a larger army than he expected , refused to offer battle , Curs on his own initiative attacked , drove part of the Persian army back , and captured most of the Persian baggage train . In 578 , Cours served with Maurice then the " magister militum per Orientem " and future Byzantine emperor , on his first , successful campaign against the Persians . In the autumn of that year , Maurice sent him across the river Tigris to plunder Persian territory . In the next year , Cours and John Mystacon together led Byzantine forces in Armenia , winning a victory over the Persians that resulted in the capture of the Persian commander himself and his son , as well as much booty . In late 582 , however , serving as John ' s " hypostrategos " ( deputy commander ) , through his inaction ( allegedly due to jealousy towards John ) , the Byzantines were defeated in battle . He disappears thereafter from the sources , and may have been dismissed in the same year .
LARC - V LARC - V ( Lighter , Amphibious Resupply , Cargo , 5 ton ) , is an aluminium - hulled amphibious cargo vehicle capable of transporting 5 tons . It was developed in the United States during the 1950s , and is used in a variety of auxiliary roles to this day . In addition to the United States , Larc - Vs have been used by military forces in Australia , Argentina , Portugal , The Philippines and Iceland . Approximately 968 were made . About 500 were destroyed , most by scuttling during the American withdrawal from South Vietnam . About 200 have been retained in US military service , Roughly 100 are privately owned and mostly used for tourism operators including a number of LARC vehicles is in use on Iceland for tourist trips on the Jökulsárlón ice lake and four LARC - V ' s used in Halifax , Nova Scotia for city and harbour tours . Operational history . LARC - Vs were used extensively by the US Army and Navy for beach supply during the Vietnam War . They supported the 101st Airborne Division in 1967 and later the 1st Cavalry Division in 1968 . LARC - Vs were used by the Argentine Marines during the 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands . In January 2011 during the 2010 – 2011 Queensland floods in Australia , Royal Australian Air Force C - 17 aircraft were reported to carry two LARC - V vehicles for use in Operation Flood Assist . The vehicles were deployed from Townsville to RAAF Base Amberley . U . S . Navy service life extension program . The United States Naval Facilities Engineering Command ( NAVFAC ) has directed the Sealift Support Program Office ( SSPO ) to supervise a Service Life Extension Program ( SLEP ) on the LARC V ' s used by the Navy . This SLEP involved changing from a mechanical to a hydraulic transmission , updating the electrical system , and improving other on - board systems . These reworked LARCs began delivery in June 2006 for use by U . S . Navy Beach Master Units , Underwater Construction Teams and the Maritime Prepositioned Force ships . A total of 42 LARCs are currently funded to transition through the SLEP process . Towing capacity on land was improved to approximately 29 , 000 lb and bollard pull in water was doubled to 7600 lb . The vehicle operates in all - wheel drive while in land or tow modes . The craft is powered by a 375 horsepower John Deere turbo - charged diesel engine that is Tier 2 certified . Engine speed is constant with a hydraulic transmission modifying speed . Design and manufacture of the SLEP LARC - V ' s was carried out by Power Dynamics , LLC of Stennis Space Center , Mississippi .
