Operation Diesel Operation Diesel was a raid by 700 British troops from the Royal Marines 45 Commando , 42 Commando , and the 3 Commando Brigade ' s Reconnaissance Force , as well as armoured infantry and close reconnaissance from 1st Battalion Princess of Wales ' s Royal Regiment ( 1 PWRR ) on a Taliban drug factory and arms stronghold in the Upper Sangin Valley in Helmand province , Afghanistan on February 7 , 2009 . According to the UK , the raid captured four drug factories and heroin and opium worth £50 million . These figures were later found to be inaccurate . No heroin was found but 1260 kg of opium and a large quantity of the chemicals needed to make heroin were found and destroyed . The 1260 kg of opium would make roughly 130 kg of heroin . The total value of the opium seized was approximately $ 126 , 000 based on the farmgate price of opium in Afghanistan . Twenty Taliban fighters defending the drugs were killed . No UK personnel were killed in the assault . The raiders also captured a motorbike which had been primed as a suicide bomb .
GHQ Line The GHQ Line ( General Headquarters Line ) was a defence line built in the United Kingdom during World War II to contain an expected German invasion . The British Army had abandoned most of its equipment in France after the Dunkirk evacuation . It was therefore decided to build a static system of defensive lines around Britain , all designed to compartmentalise the country and delay the Germans long enough for more mobile forces to counter - attack . Over 50 defensive lines were constructed around Britain , the GHQ Line being the longest and most important , designed to protect London and the industrial heart of Britain . The GHQ Line ran from the northern end of the Taunton Stop Line near Highbridge in Somerset , along the River Brue and the Kennet and Avon Canal to Reading , around the south of London south of Guildford and Aldershot , to Canvey Island and Great Chesterford in Essex , before heading north to end in Yorkshire . On the section of the line in Essex , between Great Chesterford and Canvey Island , the defences were made up of around 400 FW3 type concrete pillboxes , which were part of the British hardened field defences of World War II . Well over 100 pillboxes still exist on this section in 2012 , with around 40 highly visible FW3 Type 22 , 24 , 26 , 27 and 28 boxes between the Rettendon Turnpike and Howe Green , mostly alongside the recently constructed A130 . Many more FW3s are still in place north of Chelmsford along the Chelmer Valley and towards Great Dunmow .
876th Bombardment Squadron The 876th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit . It was last assigned to the 383d Bombardment Group .

Reassigned to the 383d Bomb Group in August 1944 , its aircraft and personnel being reassigned to other squadrons of the 498th . Shortages of B - 29s for training caused the 383d and the squadron to remain in the United States for almost a year until finally it deployed to the Central Pacific Area in June 1945 as part of the new Eighth Air Force in the Pacific . The squadron arrived on Tinian in September 1945 after the Japanese capitulation and did not see combat . Squadron dropped food and supplies to Allied prisoners in Japan , Korea , China , and Formosa after the war .

F 3 Malmslätt F 3 Malmslätt , Kungliga Östgöta Flygflottilj , " Royal Östgöta Air Force Wing " , or simply " F 3 " , is a former Swedish Air Force wing with the main base located at Malmen air base near Linköping in south - eastern Sweden . History of the airbase . In August 1912 , the first pilot school in Sweden was set up at Malmslätt by Carl Gustav Cederström at the location of the 1st Life Grenadier Regiment ( I 4 ) . In 1927 , that regiment merged with the 2nd Life Grenadier Regiment and moved to new garrisons in Linköping Town to give room for the newly set up 3rd Flying Corps " F 3 " . The name was changed in 1936 to Östgöta Flygflottilj ( Östgöta Air Force Wing ) . Initially , the corps , or wing , operated the S 1 , S 6 , S 16 , S 17 , S 18 and S 22 in reconnaissance squadrons until 1948 when it was converted to a fighter wing by converting the S 22s and replacing other reconnaissance aircraft with three squadrons of J 22s . In 1950 , F 3 received the J 28A from F 13 Norrköping which was replaced rather quickly with J 29A s in 1953 . Not until 1985 were they in turn replaced by J 35D s . One squadron was decommissioned in 1970 and the two remaining were converted to J 35F s . The two remaining squadrons of J 35F were moved in 1973 to F 17 Kallinge when the air wing was decommissioned . The remaining administrative part of the wing was decommissioned in 1974 . The air base was still kept active as a detachment to F 13 Norrköping as F 13 M until 1994 , to F 16 Uppsala as F 16 M until 2003 and now serving as F 17 M to F 17 Kallinge . The airfield is known today as Malmen Air Base ( ICAO : ESCF ) . It is currently home to the Swedish Air Force Museum . References . Webpage listing all air force squadrons in Sweden ( in Swedish )
Marine Corps Installations East Marine Corps Installations East ( MCIEAST ) is the regional authority tasked with providing support and oversight of seven United States Marine Corps installations on the East Coast . The purpose behind MCIEAST is to ensure warfighters receive a level of support that exceeds expectations while at the same time realizing cost and resource savings for the Corps . As the parent command of the east coast installations , MCIEAST has the regional authority to allow the Marine Corps to more quickly take advantage of economies of scale , improve fixed asset utilization , improve support of ranges , and centralize strategic planning of regional priorities , as well as a realign redundant overhead . Mission . Implement policies , develops regional strategies and plans , prioritizes resources and provides services , direction , and oversight through assigned U . S . Marine Corps Installations in order to support the Operating Forces , tenant commands and activities . Purpose . MCIEAST standardizes the quality of support and service Marines receive on the various bases and stations . As the parent command for these installations , MCIEAST takes the best practices from its subordinate commands and apply them to all the other commands . It also strives to better supports the Corps ’ warfighting requirements by returning more Marines to the operational forces . The restructuring of base and station management enables MCIEAST to support deploying units more efficiently and with fewer Marines . By standardizing support practices , MCIEAST eliminates manpower redundancies throughout the bases and stations . Finally , MCIEAST better supports the Corps ’ warfighting requirements by saving money . By managing bases and stations more efficiently through the basic warfighting precept of centralized command and decentralized execution , MCIEAST will have oversight of regional funds and resources and allocate them just where they are needed . As a regional command , MCIEAST seeks to eliminate resource redundancies throughout the bases and stations and ensures that funds are utilized effectively while continuing to provide thorough support to the operational units .
W85 The W85 was a thermonuclear warhead developed by the United States of America to arm the Pershing II missile . It had a variable yield — often referred to as " dial - a - yield " — which could be set between 5 and 80 kilotons . Overview . The Pershing Ia missile was armed with a 400 kiloton W50 warhead . By the early 1970s it was clear that this was far too large to allow the missile to be used as a tactical nuclear weapon — by this time 400 kt was larger than most strategic warheads . The Pershing II had a high accuracy maneuverable reentry vehicle ( MARV ) , equipped with a radar terminal guidance system and carrying a low yield W85 warhead . Like many US nuclear weapons , it was a development of the B61 nuclear bomb - in this case , a modification of the Mod 3 / 4 design . After the Pershing missiles were scrapped , all 120 of the W85 warheads produced were modified into B61 bombs , in this case the B61 - 10 free - fall weapon . Specifications . The W85 was a cylinder in diameter and long . The warhead weighed . It had a variable yield from . Effects . Assuming a detonation on the surface at the maximum 50 kt yield , W85 would result in a fireball 160 metres ( 525 feet ) across lasting just over one second . The radiated heat would be sufficient to cause lethal burns to any unprotected person within . Blast effects would be sufficient to collapse most residential and industrial structures within a radius ; within virtually all above - ground structures would be destroyed and blast effects would inflict near 100 % fatalities . Within a 500 rem dose of ionising radiation would be received by the average person , sufficient to cause a 50 % to 90 % casualty rate - though it is unlikely that anyone would live to suffer the ill effects of this radiation given the thermal and blast effects at this distance . Significant amounts of nuclear fallout would be created and dispersed into the atmosphere . It is worth noting that even this small tactical warhead was considerably more powerful than the weapons used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined .
