RCAF Station Pagwa Royal Canadian Air Force Station Pagwa ( ADC ID : C - 14 ) is a General Surveillance Radar station that was closed in 1966 . It was located at the unincorporated place and railway point of Pagwa in geographic Bicknell Township , Unorganized North Cochrane District in northeastern Ontario , Canada . It was operated as part of the Pinetree Line network controlled by NORAD . History . As a result of the Cold War and with the expansion of a North American continental air defence system , Pagwa was selected as a site for a United States Air Force ( USAF ) radar station in 1950 , one of the many that would make up the Pinetree Line of Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) radar sites . The United States undertook construction which lasted from 1951 to 1953 . When it was finished the USAF moved into Pagwa Air Station , and it was home to the USAF ' s Air Defense Command ( ADC ) 913th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron . It was equipped with AN / FPS - 3 C , AN / FPS - 502 , AN / FPS - 20 A , AN / TPS - 502 , and AN / FPS - 6 B radars . The squadron provided radar services until the USAF handed the station over to the RCAF on 29 May 1963 . This was part of an arrangement with the United States that came as a result of the cancellation of the Avro Arrow . Canada would lease 66 F - 101 Voodoo fighters and take over operation of 12 Pinetree radar bases . 37 AC & W Squadron was renamed as 37 Radar Squadron Pagwa on 1 May 1964 . It was also upgraded with the following radars : RCAF Pagwa joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system in 1963 , and the station became a long - range radar site . It would no longer guide interceptors but only look for enemy aircraft , feeding data to the Sault Sainte Marie Air Defense Sector SAGE DC - 14 Direction Center of the 30th NORAD Region at K . I . Sawyer AFB , Michigan . Later , the station commenced feeding data to the Duluth Air Defense Sector DC - 10 Direction Center of the 29th NORAD Region . Support services were provided by RCAF Station North Bay and 38 Radar Squadron at RCAF Station Armstrong . Armstrong provided " flying doctor " services with a deHavilland Canada Otter . The radar squadron was disbanded on 1 October 1966 . The last RCAF personnel left the station on 15 December 1966 bringing to a close one of the shortest , in time , RCAF manned sites in the NORAD system .

Château de Kaysersberg The Château de Kaysersberg is a ruined castle in the " commune " of Kaysersberg in the Haut - Rhin " département " of France . History . The castle was built for Albin Woelflin , imperial bailiff for Frederick II , Holy Roman Emperor , around 1220 . The site was acquired in 1227 by the lords of Horbourg and Ribeaupierre . It had an important strategic role as it allowed the Empire to close off one of the routes across the Vosges Mountains towards Lorraine . The circular keep is the oldest part of the castle and one of the first of this type in the upper Rhine valley . It was designed at the same time as the keep at the Château de Pflixbourg . The first curtain wall , which included the keep , was replaced after 1261 by a wall enclosing the keep , according to a contemporary plan , which allowed an uniterrupted circuit of the walls and strengthened defences on the side likely to be attcaked . In the 14th century , the castle was the residenece of the imperial provost or bailiff . Following a fire , the " enceinte " was raised to 4 m . In the second half of the 15th century , the castle defences were modernised in response to developments in artillery and firearms ; the crenel s were closed with wooden shutters , the merlon s were equipped with firing slits and the round walk was completely covered . In this period , the castle was merely a sub - bailliage and personnel were heavily reduced . During the German Peasants ' War ( 1524 / 5 ) , the castle was besieged . It was restored by Lazarre de Schwendi in 1583 . According to archaeological excavations and studies , the castle was abandoned at the end of the 16th century .

The castle has a triangular plan dominated by the circular keep in the highest point . the keep is 11 m ( ~ 37 ft ) in diameter with walls 4 . 42 m ( 14½ ft ) thick . The original parapet has been kept to a height of 0 . 55 m , with the crenels and merlons restored . The spiral staircase is concrete . Access is to the first floor , through an arched doorway . The spacious third floor served as a store room and provoded access to the platform which was originally covered . The keep had a purely military function . The main residential buildings were situated against the east curtain wall . On the other side , towards the town , was a large lower courtyard . The entrance to the castle , in the east , was by an arched doorway with a barbican ; to the left is a cruciform cannon opening and a circular firing hole . The castle ' s " enceinte " is linked to the town ' s by curtain walls with a round walk . The Château de Kaysersberg has been listed as a " monument historique " by the French Ministry of Culture since 1841 .

Iraqi National Guard The Iraqi National Guard was part of the new Military of Iraq but has since been absorbed by the Iraqi Army controlled by the interim government . Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq , United States Coalition Provisional Authority Chief Paul Bremer disbanded the military apparatus of Iraq as existed under Saddam Hussein . As the security situation in occupied Iraq deteriorated and the Iraqi insurgency became increasingly active , the U . S . set up , recruited and trained the new security force in order to combat the insurgency . Despite attacks by insurgent and terrorist groups , the Iraqi National Guard was able to recruit many Iraqis from the vast ranks of the unemployed . The force has been used to assist Coalition troops in combatting the insurgency . However , there have been several instances where they have refused to take military action against fellow Iraqis , such as in Fallujah , deserted , or allegedly aided the resistance . It is alleged that most guardsmen were drawn from the Shia majority in Southern Iraq or the Kurdish majority in northern Iraq , rather than from the Sunni area which they were ordered to attack . In September 2004 , a senior member , General Talib al - Lahibi was arrested on suspicion of having links with insurgent groups . In December 2004 , it was announced that the Iraqi National Guard would be dissolved . At this time its strength was officially over 40 , 000 men .
