Commander - in - Chief , Mediterranean ( France ) The French Commander - in - Chief , Mediterranean , also known as CECMED ( French for " Commandant en chef pour la Méditerranée " ) is a French Armed Forces regional commander . He commands the zone , the region and the Mediterranean maritime " arrondissements " . He is usually an admiral of the French Navy , and is under the direct authority of the French Chief of the Defence Staff . The current position is held by Admiral Yann Tainguy . The admiral known as ' CECMED ' » today has three distinct functions . He is at once : Today the main French naval combat force in the Mediterranean is the Force d ' action navale ( FAN ) , headquartered at Toulon . The Admiral commanding the Naval Action Force ( ALFAN ) is responsible to the Chief of Staff of the French Navy at the rue Royale in Paris . History . Levant Fleet . In Ancien Régime France the Levant Fleet ( ) was the part of the royal French navy based at Toulon , entrusted with Mediterranean operations . Its counterpart was the Ponant fleet , based at Rochefort or Brest . ( " Ponant " in French means " setting " , where the sun sets , i . e . , the west . " Levant " , rising , has the same meaning as in English , the east . ) It was the forerunner of today ' s Mediterranean Fleet . This fleet appeared in the portfolios of the secretaries of state in 1626 , the same year as Richelieu was named " grand maître de la navigation " . The two fleets were united in 1642 , then split up again in 1661 . The two fleets were put under the control of Colbert from 1662 , whilst he was " intendant des finances " and " minister of state " but not " secretary of state " : he only became secretary of state in 1669 after having bought his way into the post . From then on , right up to the French Revolution , a secretary of state had responsibility for the whole fleet . Mediterranean Squadron . Vice - amiral François Fournier was Commander - in - Chief , Mediterranean Squadron ( " Commandant en chef l ' Escadre de Méditerranée " ) in January 1899 aboard " Galilée " . The twentieth century history of the French Navy in the Mediterranean includes surveillance of actions during the Spanish Civil War , the Attack on Mers - el - Kébir which destroyed most of the French fleet in 1940 , and the Scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon . The Navy also protected troop convoys from French Algeria to France in both the First and Second World Wars and played a peripheral role in the Algerian War from 1954 to 1962 . In 1956 the French Navy also took part alongside the Royal Navy in the attack on Egypt during the Suez Crisis . In 1964 , the cruiser " Colbert " became flagship of the Mediterranean squadron .
Simiutak The station at Simiutak Island , commonly referred to as Bluie West 3 ( BW - 3 ) during the time of American operation , was a major wartime radio communications and meteorological facility on the southwest coast of Greenland , marking the entrance to the fjords that led to Narsarsuaq and Julianehaab . The U . S . Army facility was operational long into the post - war era . Four miles east from Simiutak was the U . S . Navy station Gamatron , which was abandoned after the war . Simiutak is a generic Inuit name for an island at the head of a fjord . It should not be confused with the Simiutak ( aka Cruncher Island , or Simiutaq Island ) that had a similar function as a support station at the mouth of Sondrestromfjord , serving the air base at Sondrestrom . Cruncher Island was allocated the code name Bluie West 9 . Foundation . The U . S . Coast Guard searched for a suitable site for a radio direction finding ( RDF ) site in the Julianehaab area in July 1941 , to serve as an auxiliary for sea traffic and anticipated air traffic associated with the BW - 1 base which began construction that month . Coast Guard documents show the ship Algonquin arriving from Boston with a radio beacon for Site A ( Gamatron ) in November . The cutter North Star searched for a construction site and transported men and equipment there . Construction of Gamatron and Simiutak was carried out simultaneously in November and December 1941 and expanded as needed thereafter . On 13 December , USCGC North Star left having erected supplies and temporary housing . USCGC Raritan supported the construction of nearby BW - 3 . Operation . Gamatron was in partial operation from 10 January 1942 and in full operation from 30 March . On 15 August BW - 3 was declared in full operation and simultaneously , nearby aircraft guard station " C " ( ship ) was abandoned . Cruncher Island ( BW - 9 ) was built June - August 1942 . On 4 September the Light and Radio Beacon were declared operational . BW - 3 became an essential navigation aid for ships and aircraft . A non - directional beacon ( NDB ) was situated there to provide a coastal fix for aircraft attempting the BW - 1 approach . A weather station reported aviation weather . A high frequency ( HF ) communications site was set up to communicate with aircraft over a wide area . Gamatron was listed as having a camp for one officer and forty enlisted men . After the United States Air Force left BW - 3 , agencies of the Danish government took over and operated the site for many years . While there is no native population close by , the site was frequently visited by vessels transiting the area . In 1945 , the U . S . State Department defined the Simiutak Defense Area as the entire island of Simiutak situated at the mouth of Skovfjord at approx . 6041N and 4634W and the adjacent waters for a distance of one mile for the shore line . The nearby naval facility of Gamatron was defined similarly as the unnamed ( Gamatron ) Island lying south of Hollaender Island at approx . 6040N and 4626W and the islands and waters adjacent thereto for a distance of one mile from the shoreline . BW - 9 was defined as 66N to 6607N and 5325W to 5348W .

Camp Rapid Camp Rapid is a South Dakota Army National Guard installation located in Westside , Rapid City , South Dakota just inside the edge of the Black Hills . Although the South Dakota state capital is Pierre , South Dakota , the state ' s Adjutant General has his office and headquarters in Camp Rapid . Camp Rapid developed as a summer encampment site for the South Dakota National Guard in the early 20th Century , using land borrowed from the Bureau of Indian Affairs " Sioux Sanitorium " and Rapid City Indian School , today ' s Indian Health Service ( IHS ) SiouxSan Hospital , located just west of Camp Rapid . It became a permanent installation during and immediately after World War I , when it was used for mobilization of National Guard units for the front in France . Its use continued during the 1920s and 1930s , and it was taken over as a federal installation during World War II . Permanent and temporary buildings erected during World War II continue in use today . During the Cold War , Camp Rapid continued to host and support National Guard activities , including a series of annual exercises involving National Guard troops from many states conducting operations in the Black Hills . In the early 1990s , a new series of building projects replaced tent pads and brick and metal " tents " with permanent structures for use as armories , barracks , and support facilities . Security of the Camp was upgraded significantly in the early 2000s as part of nationwide security improvements . While small , the camp is a showcase for the National Guard and one of three active , manned military installations remaining in the Black Hills , and one of four in South Dakota .

Hauenštejn Hauenštejn ( Czech var . : " Horní hrad " ; ) is a medieval castle in the Czech Republic . The castle is private property of Pavel Palacký , a descendant of František Palacký . It is situated in the Ore mountains near the cities Stráž nad Ohří , Ostrov nad Ohří , Klášterec nad Ohří and Karlovy Vary not far from the highest peak of " Krušné hory " – Klínovec . History . The castle was built in the 13th century by Přemysl Otakar II or his son Václav II to guard royal paths and local mines . The first known owner was Mikuláš Winkler , burgrave of Loket Castle , who sold Hauenštejn to the monastery in Doksany . The monastery exchanged it for another building with King John of Luxemburg . His son Charles IV enlarged the castle ‘ s domain . The castle frequently changed its keepers in the second half of the 14th century and the 15th century but it more or less remained royal property . The rich family of Šlik that started silver mining near Jáchymov won the castle in the 16th century . The Šliks rebuilt the castle in the Renaissance style after a fire in 1600 . In 1663 the Šliks sold the castle to the Saxe - Lauenburg ducal family and it became part of the Ostrov domain . The castle was in the hands of the Baden family from 1689 . When the last male member of the family died in 1771 , the property of the Badens in Bohemia was inherited by the royal family of Maria Theresa . The Habsburgs sold it to the Buquoy family in 1837 . Countess Gabrielle Buquoy started to rebuild the castle in a Romantic style . Ferdinand Buquoy continued the reconstruction under the influence of historism , taking its examples from England ( Windsor , Arundel , Belvoir , Lancaster or Oxford ) and Bavaria ( Hohenswangau , Lahneck ) . 20th century . In World War II it was used by the Hitler Youth and it was also used for snake experiments – a snake from the genus of " Coluber " was set in the location to fight the adder and a kind of serum was developed there that Rommel used in Africa . After the war it was confiscated by the state and communists made it an accommodation for the uranium miners in Jáchymov , and then for a youth organisation . In 1958 it was condemned as not suitable for living and closed up . From that time it was constantly being ruined , partly by time , partly by vandals . Present . In 2000 Pavel Palacký , a descendant of Czech historian František Palacký , bought the castle from the village of Krásný Les and started with its sanitation . He brings a lot of events and tourists .

Army Group Vistula Army Group Vistula ( ) was an Army Group of the " Wehrmacht " , formed on January 24 , 1945 . It was put together from elements of Army Group A ( shattered in the Soviet Vistula - Oder Offensive ) , Army Group Centre ( similarly largely destroyed in the East Prussian Offensive ) , and a variety of new or ad hoc formations . It was formed to protect Berlin from the Soviet armies advancing from the Vistula River . Establishment and history . Heinz Guderian had originally urged the creation of a new army group as an essentially defensive measure to fill the gap opening in German defences between the lower Vistula and the lower Oder . The new Army Group Vistula was duly formed from an assortment of rebuilt , new and existing units . Guderian intended to propose Field - Marshal Maximilian von Weichs as commander . However , in a reflection of Hitler ' s desire to transfer control of the conflict from the " Wehrmacht " to the SS , Heinrich Himmler was appointed . Himmler , who lacked any real military knowledge , proved inadequate to the task ; General Gotthard Heinrici replaced Himmler as commander of Army Group Vistula on 20 March , subsequent to its participation in the German offensive codenamed Operation Solstice and the following defence against the Soviet East Pomeranian Offensive . Other than Operation Solstice , the Army Group ' s only offensive action was a disastrous attempt to relieve the fortress of Kustrin late in March 1945 , during which the subordinate XXXIX Panzer Corps took heavy casualties . Under the command of Heinrici , parts of the army group fought through the Battle of Berlin and Battle of Halbe , with some of its elements not surrendering until the end of the war in Europe on 8 May 1945 . Army Group Vistula ' s strength was in the region of 500 , 000 troops ; in general , the army group was poorly equipped , many of its units being little more than the ' paper ' formations typical of the German military at the end of World War II . Indeed , when first set up it was found that the army group lacked many essential facilities , such as proper maps or a headquarters signals detachment - the sole means of communication being Himmler ' s private telephone . Organisation . The Army Group was originally formed from : During the East Pomeranian Offensive , the Second Army was finally cut off from the remainder of the army group and withdrew into Danzig , where it was eventually destroyed . The rest of Army Group Vistula was forced west of the Oder , though the Third Panzer Army retained a small bridgehead at Altdamm until the middle of March . Towards the end of April , the Twenty - First Army ( itself formed around the remnants of the Fourth Army , which had been destroyed in the Heiligenbeil Cauldron ) was added to Army Group Vistula .
