Replacement depot A replacement depot or repple depple is a military unit containing reserves or replacement s for troops in front - line formations . The U . S . Army slang term " repple depple " came into vogue during World War II . These depots were used by the US Army in Europe in World War II , but were found to be ineffective as the men assigned from these large pools had poor " esprit de corps " and were unfamiliar with the fighting formations to which they were subsequently assigned . The handling of the replacements in a bulk , impersonal way by permanent depot staff tended to cause psychological trauma so that they were weakened by the experience . The " Oxford English Dictionary " notes , in a citation from " The New York Times Magazine " , 9 December 1945 , that " repple depples , in short , are dreary places . "

Michimalonco Michima Lonco ( fl . mid - 16th century ) ( " michima " means " foreigner " and " lonco " means " head " or " chief " in Mapudungun language ) was an indigenous chief said to be a great warrior , born in the Aconcagua Valley and educated in Cusco by the Inca Empire . He presented himself to the Spaniards , naked and covered by a black pigmentation . He had seven wives and lived between the Jahuel Valley and Putaendo Valley . On September 11 , 1541 , Michimalonco attacked the newly founded Spanish settlement of Santiago , Chile after seven cacique s were taken hostage by Spaniards following an uprising . Michimalonco was said to lead 8 , 000 to 20 , 000 men . The defense of the outnumbered town was led by Inés de Suárez , a female conquistador , while commander Pedro de Valdivia was elsewhere . Much of the town was destroyed when Suárez decapitated one of the caciques herself and had the rest decapitated to surprise the natives . The natives were then driven off by the Spanish . After fighting the Spaniards , he fled to the Andes mountain valleys . There he hid for a couple of years but feeling homesick he came back to the valley and allied his forces with the Spaniards and went to fight the Mapuches on the south . He was reputedly raised in Cuzco and had an accent when he spoke his native language , therefore he was named the " Foreigner Chief " .

Canadian Forces base A Canadian Forces Base or CFB ( French Base des forces canadiennes or BFC ) is a military installation of the Canadian Forces . For a facility to qualify as a Canadian Forces Base , it must station one or more major units ( e . g . , army regiments , navy ships , air force wings ) . Minor installations are named Canadian Forces Station or CFS ( French Station des forces canadiennes or SFC ) . A Canadian Forces Station could host a single minor unit ( e . g . , an early warning radar station ) . Many of these facilities are now decommissioned for administrative purposes and function as detachments of a larger Canadian Forces Base nearby . Current . Canadian Army . Note : Primary lodger units at Canadian Forces Bases used by the Canadian Army are regiments of the Canadian Army . Royal Canadian Navy . Note : Primary lodger units at Canadian Forces Bases used by the Royal Canadian Navy are individual commissioned ships of the RCN . Royal Canadian Air Force . Note : Primary lodger units at Canadian Forces Bases used by the Royal Canadian Air Force are wings of the RCAF . The RCAF supplies aircraft to Canadian Joint Operations Command which frequently operate from a chain of " Forward Operating Locations " at various civilian airfields across northern Canada , capable of supporting RCAF operations . CF - 18 Hornets , CP - 140 Auroras and various transport and search and rescue aircraft periodically deploy to these FOLs for short training exercises , Arctic sovereignty patrols , aid to the civil power , or search and rescue operations . Closed . Defunct stations . The Canadian Forces were reduced during the 1990s from a high of 90 , 000 personnel in the late 1980s to the present force levels . Coinciding with personnel and equipment reductions was the politically controversial decision to close a number of bases and stations which were obsolete or created duplication . A small number of these " closed " facilities have actually continued operating as before ; but , because of cost and administrative efficiency — or , in the case of radio and radar facilities , automation — , they have been absorbed into other nearby bases and therefore do not qualify for separate designations . For example , the CF Leadership and Recruit School at St . Jean , Quebec , is now a lodger unit of CFB Montreal , and the former CFS Masset is a detachment of CFS Leitrim . Other facilities are now used as training grounds for reserve / militia units .
