VMF - 236 Marine Fighting Squadron 236 ( VMF - 236 ) was a fighter squadron in the United States Marine Corps . The squadron , also known as the “ Black Panthers ” , was part of the Marine Forces Reserve for a short time following World War II and were based at Naval Air Station Denver , Colorado until their disestablishment . Originally established during World War II , they fought in the Pacific War most notably during the Bougainville Campaign and the campaign to liberate the Philippines . The squadron conducted the first dive bombing attack against Bougainville and was credited with downing 4 Japanese aircraft during the course of the war . VMSB - 236 was disestablished on August 1 , 1945 at Mindanao , Philippines two weeks before the surrender of Japan They were reactivated as part of the Reserves but were again deactivated in the late 1960s and remain in an inactive status today . History . The squadron was formed on 1 January 1943 at Marine Corps Air Station Mojave , California as Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 236 ( VMSB - 236 ) flying the SBD Dauntless . In April 1943 they moved to Marine Corps Air Station Ewa , Hawaii for follow on training and eventually joined the war landing at Guadalcanal on 4 September 1943 .

The squadron stayed in the Philippines for the remainder of the war flying close air support missions in support of the Sixth United States Army and Eighth United States Army . VMSB - 236 was deactivated on 1 August 1945 at Mindanao , Philippines two weeks before the surrender of Japan .
Type 64 ( tank ) The Type 64 ( TL64 , ) is a Cold War - era light tank of the Republic of China Armed Forces , in service from 1975 . As a hybrid of the M42 Duster and M18 Hellcat , the Type 64 was intended as a tank capable of defending the island of Taiwan from an attack from the People ' s Liberation Army . Description and history . The original Type 64 hybrid tank project involved the construction of tanks made from parts of dismantled American tanks provided by the United States . The Type 64 is essentially a M42 Duster hull with an M18 Hellcat turret on top with a 76mm gun . The M18s were originally decommissioned tanks supplied to the ROC Armed Forces during the Chinese Civil War and later , whilst the hulls were surplus M42 hulls ordered and shipped to the island of Taiwan . Compartments over the track guards for spare Bofors gun barrels were replaced with storage boxes of the stock M41 tank . The tank is comparable in design to the M41 series of American tanks , however has an improved electrical system . A total of one battalion worth of conversions were made . The hull has an all - welded steel construction that incorporates a high - strength alloy steel and is manufactured using advanced welding techniques , providing adequate protection from small arms and cannon fire . The all - cast turret holds three crew and has the same layout as an M41 , with modifications to suit the shorter stature of local tank crews . On the hull , an additional layer of laminated , high - strength alloy steel armour plate is welded and bolted on ; this provides additional protection against HEAT and APDS projectiles . The 76mm rifled gun used on the Type 64 is manufactured locally in Taiwan . A 7 . 62mm co - axial machinegun is mounted with the main gun , whilst a . 50 M2 HB machinegun intended for firing upon aircraft is mounted at the commander ' s station . Both machineguns are manufactured in Taiwan . The tank has an improved fire control system , and ammunition is stored in a similar manner to the M41A2 and M41A3 . Later Type 64 tanks were modified to include laser rangefinders , ballistic computers and passive night vision equipment developed by the National Sun Yat - Sen Research Institute . A variant known as the Type 64 Prototype or Type 64 Experimental was a locally upgraded version of the M41 Walker Bulldog with improved fire controls , 530 horsepower Napco 8V - 71T diesel engine , ANVRC - 7 radio , mounted T57 7 . 62mm GPMG , and applique turret armors and sideskirts made from traditional cast and high - hardness tungsten alloy steel . Development began in the year Minguo 64 ( 1975 ) , hence the name . The tank was designed to counter the threat of Type 59 and T - 55A tanks in the event of war against the People ' s Republic of China or Soviet Union . A total of 14 pre - production tanks and 25 first - series tanks were ordered to be constructed at the 201 Factory , with the last tank completed in 1979 . This variant did not enter mass - production .
Bloch MB . 131 The Bloch MB . 130 and its derivatives were a series of French monoplane reconnaissance - bomber s developed during the 1930s . They saw some limited action at the beginning of World War II but were obsolete by that time and suffered badly against the " Luftwaffe " . After the fall of France , a few were pressed into " Luftwaffe " service . Design and development . The MB . 130 was developed in response to the August 1933 French Aviation Ministry request for a reconnaissance and tactical bomber . It was an all - metal , twin - engine , low - wing monoplane with retractable landing gear , and armed with three flexible machine gun s , one each in the nose , dorsal turret , and ventral gondola . It first flew on 29 June 1934 , and despite very ordinary performance , soon entered production , 40 machines being ordered in October 1935 . An improved version , the MB . 131 was first flown on 16 August 1936 , but still needed more work to overcome its deficiencies . The radically revised second prototype which flew on 5 May 1937 eventually formed the basis for series production , with aircraft being manufactured by SNCASO , the nationalised company that had absorbed Bloch and Blériot . Total production ( including prototypes ) was 143 . MB . 135 . A four - engined derivative of the MB . 134 , was developed powered by four Gnome - Rhône 14M 14 cylinder radial engines , with an essentially similar airframe . The sole example flew for the first time on 12 January 1939 . Operational history . Entering service in June 1938 , the MB . 131 went on to equip seven reconnaissance " Groupes " , six in metropolitan France and one in North Africa . Upon the outbreak of the war , the metropolitan " Groupes " suffered heavy losses in attempts at daylight reconnaissance of Germany ' s western borders . They were subsequently restricted to flying night missions , though they still suffered heavy losses even then . By May 1940 , all metropolitan units had been converted to Potez 63 . 11 aircraft , with only the African groupe retaining them for front - line duty . After the Battle of France , the planes left in Vichy possession were relegated to target towing duty . 21 planes were reported captured by the " Luftwaffe " in inoperable condition , but photographic evidence suggests at least a few flew for the Nazis .
Camp Smith ( New York ) Camp Smith is a military installation of the New York Army National Guard in Cortlandt Manor near Peekskill , NY , about north of New York City , at the northern border of Westchester County , and consists of . Established in 1882 by General Frederick Townsend , Adjutant General of New York , it was formerly known as " Camp Townsend " , but was renamed in 1919 to " Camp Smith " for Governor Alfred E . Smith of New York . The camp has been used as an annual training site for National Guard regiments since its establishment , and recently has served as the home of the Empire State Military Academy , as well as the state ' s Non - Com and Officer Candidate School . It also hosts some other , minor units ( e . g . 42nd Infantry Division Band , " 138th Chaplain Support Team " ) .
Non Regular Permanent Staff In the British Army , Non Regular Permanent Staff ( NRPS - often pronounced as " Nerps " ) are members of the Territorial Army who are employed on a full - time basis . They usually fill vital unit administration or quartermaster roles and are most often long - service TA veterans or retired regulars . They hold military rank and wear uniform when appropriate . On 1 April 2003 there were 1 , 100 NRPS personnel - 300 commissioned officer s and 800 other ranks . In 2010 the NRPS positions were discontinued in favour of TA Home Commitment positions .
LOGCAP The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program ( LOGCAP ) is a program administered by the US Army to provide contingency support to augment the Army force structure . The first three contracts ( and all task orders under them ) were awarded to a single bidder in each round of competition ( KBR for the first and third contracts and DynCorp for the second contract ) . The fourth and current ( as of 2013 ) contract was split between three companies ( KBR , DynCorp , and Fluor Corporation ) with each company having the opportunity to compete for task orders . History . In 1985 , LOGCAP was established primarily to preplan for contingencies and to leverage the existing civilian resources . However , it was not until three years later before it was first used . In support of a United States Third Army mission , the United States Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE ) used LOGCAP to contract for the construction and maintenance of two petroleum pipelines systems in Southwest Asia . The current task order contract concept of LOGCAP began in August 1992 when USACE awarded the first contract ( LOGCAP I ) to Brown and Root Services ( now KBR ) in August 1992 as a cost - plus - award - fee contract , which was used in December that year to support the United Nations forces in Somalia . This contract was also used to support forces in Bosnia , Kosovo , Macedonia , Hungary , Saudi Arabia , Haiti , Italy and Rwanda . The LOGCAP contract was recompeted in late 1996 , with Army Materiel Command ( AMC ) taking over management of the program from USACE ( although USACE has retained the support requirements for the Balkans Peninsula continuously since that date ) . The second contract ( LOGCAP II ) was awarded to DynCorp in January 1997 . From 1997 to 2001 , DynCorp supported US forces in the Philippines , Guatemala , Colombia , Ecuador , East Timor , and Panama . AMC awarded LOGCAP III , the third contract , to KBR in 2001 . LOGCAP III primarily supported the Global War on Terrorism in Iraq , Afghanistan , Kuwait , Djibouti , and Georgia . However , as a result of the criticisms leveled against KBR for contract performance , AMC ended the LOGCAP III contract in 2007 . The current contract ( LOGCAP IV ) differed greatly from its three predecessors , in that multiple contracts were awarded ( to KBR , DynCorp , and Fluor ) , whereupon the three could compete for future task orders . Sister Service Organizations . Ensuring adequate support for his operational plans is the primary logistics consideration for each combatant commander . He needs war - fighters to support his plans and logisticians to support the war - fighters . It is each military service ’ s responsibility to provide this logistical support . As just discussed for the Army , it is LOGCAP . For the Air Force and Navy , it is respectively the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program ( AFCAP ) and Navy Global Contingency Construction Contract ( GCCC ) and Global Contingency Services Contract ( GCSC ) .

Luftwaffe units before the 1939 invasion of Poland In peace time these Luftwaffe detachments were based in Germany , Austria , Bohemia , Moravia , and Slovakia ; but they were moved to advanced bases on the outbreak of hostilities with Poland , the " Fall Weiss " Operation , on September 1 , 1939 .
USA - 224 USA - 224 , also known as NRO Launch 49 ( NRO L - 49 ) , is an American reconnaissance satellite which was launched in 2011 . It is a KH - 11 optical imaging satellite , the fifteenth such spacecraft to be launched , and intended as a replacement of the USA - 161 satellite launched in 2001 . Project history and cost . After the failure of the Boeing led Future Imagery Architecture program in 2005 , NRO ordered two additional legacy hardware KH - 11s . Critics of the decision voiced concerns that each " exquisite - class " satellite would cost more than the latest Nimitz class aircraft carrier ( CVN - 77 ) with its projected procurement cost of US $ 6 . 35 billion as of May 2005 . USA - 224 - the first of these two - was completed by Lockheed US $ 2 billion under the initial budget estimate , and two years ahead of schedule . USA - 224 was launched atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket from Space Launch Complex 6 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California . The launch was conducted by United Launch Alliance , and was the first flight of a Delta IV Heavy from Vandenberg . Liftoff occurred on January 20 , 2011 at 21 : 10 : 30 UTC . Upon reaching orbit , the satellite received the International Designator 2011 - 002A . The early launch of USA - 224 , and operational changes to extend the lifetime of its predecessor USA - 161 , reduced the coverage gap caused by the end of the primary mission of USA - 161 to just 33 days . The fifteenth KH - 11 satellite to be launched , USA - 224 is a member of one of the later block configurations occasionally identified as being a separate system . Details of its mission and orbit are classified , however amateur observers have identified it as being in a Low Earth orbit with a perigee of , an apogee of and 97 . 9 degrees of inclination , typical for an operational KH - 11 satellite .
Takka Takka ( Roy Lichtenstein ) Takka Takka is a 1962 pop art painting by Roy Lichtenstein in his comic book style of using Ben - Day dots and a story panel . This work is held in the collection of the Museum Ludwig . The title comes from the onomatopoeic graphics that depict the sound that comes from a machine gun . Background . Lichtenstein was a trained United States Army pilot , draftsman and artist as well as a World War II ( WWII ) veteran who never saw active combat . The work depicts a machine gun firing as it is situated above the camouflage of palm frond s during the Battle of Guadalcanal . The image shows shell casing s and a grenade in mid flight . An explosion is stylized with the titular phrase . The source of " Takka Takka " is the comic book " Battlefield Action " # 40 ( February 1962 , Charlton Comics Group ) . Lichtenstein ' s reinterpretation of the original comic image eliminates the horizon line and other indications of depth of field . He also eliminates the human element by removing a hand , a helmet and the Japanese rising sun emblem . When the characters in some of his works , e . g . " Takka Takka " , " Whaam ! " and " Okay Hot - Shot , Okay ! " , were criticised for being militaristic , Lichtenstein responded : " the heroes depicted in comic books are fascist types , but I don ' t take them seriously in these paintings — maybe there is a point in not taking them seriously , a political point . I use them for purely formal reasons . " Critical response . " The Washingtonian " critic Sophie Gilbert , regards " Takka Takka " ( along with " Bratatat ! " ) as exemplary of Lichtenstein ' s " aggressive , hyper - masculine war paintings " due to the depiction of the guns creating sound effects and the use of onomatopoeic words during military conflict . " Takka Takka " , with its disruption of the primary narrative clause by text focused on absent details about the past or omitted present , is described as " the most unlikely conjunction of picture and story " . The work is regarded as one in which Lichtenstein over - exaggerated comic book sound effects in common pop art style . In the view of critic Steven Weisenburger , Lichtenstein ' s reimagining creates a tension between the narrative and graphical content because the " exhausted soldiers " are absent . " Takka Takka " is a subversion of the interpretive conventions of " pop " culture , " but more important , it interrogates a shared idea about war , that war ' s sublime violence heroizes . " Implicitly comparing " Takka Takka " to Picasso ' s " Guernica " , art historian Klaus Honnef states that the work ' s use of the " cartoon idiom in combination with elements of written language " demonstrates that art does not have to present the horrors of war graphically in order to be forceful .
Fort Clark Trading Post State Historic Site Fort Clark Trading Post State Historic Site was once the home to a Mandan and later an Arikara settlement . Over the course of its history it also had two factories ( trading posts ) . Today only archeological remains survive at the site located eight miles west of Washburn , North Dakota , United States . History . In 1822 , the Mandan tribe built a settlement with earth - covered lodges on the bluffs of the Missouri River . In 1830 , a representative of the American Fur Company built Fort Clark Trading Post south of the village . The first steamboat to journey up the upper - Missouri River was the " Yellow Stone " which arrived in 1832 carrying 1 , 500 gallons of goods and liquor . George Catlin , Karl Bodmer , and the German Prince Maximilian of Wied - Neuwied all visited the site and stayed the winter of 1832 - 1833 . In 1837 , the steamboat " St . Peters " docked at the village carrying passengers infected with smallpox . As the disease swept through the village , it wiped out approximately ninety - percent of the inhabitants . In 1838 , the nearby Arikara tribe moved into the abandoned village . In 1850 , another trading post was built by Charles Primeau . In 1851 , a cholera outbreak occurred and then a smallpox outbreak in 1856 . When an attack by the Dakota happened in 1861 , the fort was permanently abandoned . Historic site . Most of the site has been owned by the state since 1889 . A total of in two sections of the state historic site were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as Fort Clark Archeological District . More than 2 , 200 features on the surface from the ruins of houses and graves still exist . Lodge depressions are also visible along with an unmarked cemetery with more than 800 graves . The site is operated by the North Dakota State Historical Society .
