Battle of Cirta The Battle of Cirta was a battle during the Second Punic War between the forces of the Roman Republic under Publius Cornelius Scipio and Carthage ' s main ally , Syphax . On Scipio ' s orders , two of his ablest commanders , Laelius and Masinissa , followed Syphax ' s retreat to the town of Cirta , wherein Syphax garnered fresh forces to meet the two generals in the open . He proceeded to organise them on the Roman model , hoping to copy the continuous success of Scipio on the battlefield ; he had a force large enough to take on the Romans but nearly all of his soldiers were raw and unexperienced . The first encounter was between the two opposing cavalry units , and though the battle was initially hard - fought , when the Roman infantry line reinforced the intervals of their cavalry , the raw troops broke and fled . Syphax , seeing his force crumbling , sought to inspire his men into regrouping by riding forward and exposing himself to danger . In this gallant attempt he was unhorsed and made prisoner , and failed to rally his troops . The Roman force pushed on to Cirta , and gained control of the town merely by showing their African leader in chains . Scipio ' s foothold in Africa was all but assured , and with the Carthaginian general Hannibal soon returning from Italy , the Battle of Zama would soon follow . References .

There is a small memorial on the D431 north of Vieil Armand , commemorating Halifax bomber MZ807 of No . 433 Squadron RCAF , which crashed nearby in December 1944 .
1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade The 1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade ( 1st MEB ) is a United States Army brigade located at Fort Polk , Louisiana . The 1st MEB is one of two active duty Maneuver Enhancement Brigades ( the 4th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade is stationed at Fort Leonard Wood , Missouri ) . The Brigade is tasked to improve the movement capabilities and rear area security for commanders at division level or higher . Mission . The MEB is a tailored combined arms force with a headquarters staff designed to plan and execute protection , movement and maneuver , and sustainment tasks . It uses its subordinate units within their specialties to conduct maneuver support operations in its area of operations ( AO ) and within the broader AO of the organization it supports . The MEB provides added security and defense for other units and enhances freedom of action for the supported higher command . The capability to synchronize maneuver support operations and support area operations under the MEB provides a unique set of capabilities to other Army , joint , and multinational elements . Aside from its headquarters element and the organic communications and logistics elements that form the basis for commanding , controlling , and supporting the brigade , the Brigade is a mission , enemy , terrain and weather , troops and support available , time available , and civil considerations - dependent organization . The MEB leverages emerging modular principles and the “ plug - and - play ” nature of developing forces to apply the right force for the mission . Typically , but not exclusively , the MEB is composed of engineer , military police , chemical , air defense , and other units that routinely function together during protection , stability , and support operations . The Brigade has deployed units for combat operations in Afghanistan , Iraq , and for humanitarian assistance in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake .

Battle Effectiveness Award The Battle Effectiveness Award ( formerly the Battle Efficiency Award , commonly known as the Battle " E " ) , is awarded annually to the small number of United States Navy ships , submarines , aviation , and other units that win their battle effectiveness competition . The criterion for the Battle Effectiveness Award is the overall readiness of the command to carry out its assigned wartime tasks , and is based on a year - long evaluation . The competition for the award is , and has always been , extremely keen . To win , a ship or unit must demonstrate the highest state of battle readiness . The Battle Effectiveness Award recognizes sustained superior performance in an operational environment within a command . To qualify for Battle " E " consideration , a ship must win a minimum of four of the six Command Excellence awards ( Maritime Warfare ( Black " E " ) , Engineering / Survivability ( Red " E " ) , Command and Control ( Green " E " ) , Logistics Management ( Blue " E " ) , CNSF Ship Safety ( Yellow " E " ) , Efficiency ( Purple " E " ) ) , and be nominated by their immediate superior in command . Eligibility for the award demands day - to - day demonstrated excellence in addition to superior achievement during the certifications and qualifications conducted throughout the year .

Ships that win a battle effectiveness competition are authorized to paint a white " E " with black shadowing on their stacks or elsewhere to display evidence of the honor . For each subsequent consecutive competition won , the ship paints an angled line , or hashmark , below the white " E " .
