AGM - 76 Falcon The AGM - 76 Falcon is an air - to - surface missile developed by the United States of America . Overview . The AGM - 76 was developed as a ground attack version of the AIM - 47 Falcon air - to - air missile , in much the same way that the AGM - 87 Focus was developed from the AIM - 9 Sidewinder . It was planned to use the AGM - 76 to equip the Mach 3 capable North American F - 108 fighter . Although the F - 108 was ultimately cancelled the AN / ASG - 18 fire - control system was transferred to the Lockheed YF - 12 , allowing that aircraft to handle the AIM - 47 and AGM - 76 . Twenty - two XAGM - 76A prototype missiles were built ; ten of these were test fired from YF - 12A prototypes . Guidance for the missile was provided by the AN / ASG - 18 Fire - Control System , which was modified to allow it to operate in the air to ground role . The AGM - 76 had a range in excess of . The 250 kiloton thermonuclear warhead would normally be detonated in an air burst above the target . The test firings were generally successful , and the USAF planned to acquire the production missiles for the F - 12B in order to allow it to perform in the high speed nuclear strike mission . When the F - 12B was cancelled , the AGM - 76 program was also halted .
Chalk ( military ) In military terminology , a chalk is a group of paratroopers or other soldiers that deploy from a single aircraft . A chalk often corresponds to a platoon - sized unit for air assault operations , or a company - minus - sized organization for airborne operations . For air transport operations , it can consist of up to a company - plus - sized unit . The term was first coined in World War II for airborne troops during Operation Overlord , the Allied invasion of Europe . The aircraft flight number was placed on the troops ' backs with chalk . It was later used during the Vietnam War , when it was common practice to number with chalk the sides of the helicopters involved in an operation . During the Battle of Mogadishu ( 1993 ) , four chalks from the 75th Ranger Regiment fast roped down from hovering MH - 60L Black Hawk helicopters . The rangers then created a four - corner defensive perimeter around the building .

Hiki Yoshikazu Originally from Musashi province , Hiki Yoshikazu rose to prominence in the shogunal court as a result of being adopted by Minamoto no Yoritomo ' s nurse . Hiki ' s daughter was married to Minamoto no Yoriie , the second shogun of the Kamakura shogunate . Seriously ill , Yoriie proposed to name both his younger brother Sanetomo , and his young son ( Hiki ' s grandson ) Minamoto no Ichiman to succeed him ; the two would split power , governing separate parts of the country . It seemed natural that Hiki would then be the regent , even if unofficially , to young Ichiman . He therefore suggested to Yoriie , who would be assassinated shortly afterwards by a separate faction ( the Hōjō clan ) , that they arrange to have Sanetomo killed . Hōjō Masako , Yoriie ' s mother and wife of the first shogun Yoritomo , overheard this conversation . Though Masako may have sought to have Hiki formally accused of treason and executed , the Hōjō , under Hōjō Tokimasa , got to him first . In their schemes to dominate the regency and control the shogunate as a puppet government under their clan , Hōjō warriors assassinated Hiki Yoshikazu , and then attacked the palace of young Ichiman , setting a fire and killing both the young heir and a great number of members of the extended Hiki family .
Scottish – Norwegian War The Scottish – Norwegian War was a conflict from 1262 to 1266 . The conflict arose because of disagreement over the ownership of the Hebrides . The war contained only skirmishes and feuds between the kings . The only major battle was the indecisive Battle of Largs . Background . The Norwegian suzerainty over the Hebrides had been contested since the 1240s , when the Scottish king Alexander II began asking the king of Norway , Haakon Haakonsson ( also spelled Håkon ) , if he could purchase the islands from him . For almost a decade these attempts were unsuccessful , and the negotiations ceased for thirteen years when Alexander II died . When his son Alexander III came to power in 1262 , by obtaining majority support among the clansmen , he sent Haakon a final request saying that if Haakon did not sell them the Islands they would take them by force . The war ( 1262 – 1263 ) . Haakon IV responded to this request by gathering a fleet of over 120 leidang warships and setting out in July 1263 to defend the Western Isles . Haakon IV stopped at the Isle of Arran where negotiations were started . Knowing Haakon IV had to win a decisive victory before the winter , Alexander III stalled during the negotiations until the autumn storms . In October 1263 several of King Haakons ships got stranded at Largs in stormy weather . A rescue party was sent ashore to help salvage the ships , where the Scottish forces launched a suprise attack , and a minor skirmish followed . The " battle " ended indecisively with a tactical draw . The following morning King Haakon ’ s forces sailed back to Orkney for the winter , where he died in December . King Haakon ’ s successor had problems at home , and lacked the proper funding to launch a new expedition . Resolution . Although the war was not really decided while Haakon was king he was a major player in the events leading up to the conflict . Alexander III actually captured the Hebrides in 1264 , and then made another formal claim to the Islands which were bought from Norway for a sum of 4 , 000 marks , and 100 every year after . Impact . Although the tensions between the Norwegians and the Scottish did not immediately evaporate over time they did become culturally mixed on the islands . Both cultures celebrate with a large festival at Largs where the most prominent battle was fought .
