Ji ( halberd ) The ji ( ) , the Chinese halberd , was used as a military weapon in one form or another from at least as early as the Shang dynasty until the end of the Qing dynasty . They are still used for training purposes by many Chinese martial arts . The " ji " resembles a Chinese spear for the most part , with a small crescent blade attached to the head and a red horsehair tassel where the head is fixed to the shaft . It was a relatively common infantry weapon , especially in its common Bronze Age variant known as the dagger - axe , although it was used by cavalry and charioteers as well . There were several types of " ji " , e . g . with a rectangular , serrated blade instead of the crescent - formed one , or spear tips with two curved blades attached . They have two or three sharp points of attack , the side blade or blades and the tip , plus often a rear counter weight that could be used to strike the opponent . The way the side blades are fixed to the main spear pole differs , but usually there are empty spaces between the pole and the side blade . The wielder could strike with the shaft , with the option of then pulling the halberd back to hook with a side blade ; or slap his opponent with the flat side of the halberd blade to knock him off his horse .

Defense Manpower Data Center The Defense Manpower Data Center ( DMDC ) serves under the Office of the Secretary of Defense to collate personnel , manpower , training , financial , and other data for the Department of Defense . This data catalogues the history of personnel in the military and their family for purposes of healthcare , retirement funding and other administrative needs .

Al Clark ( Blackwater ) Al Clark , along with Erik Prince , was the founder of the private security firm Blackwater . Clark and Prince created Blackwater in 1997 as a business for assuming some of the roles once played by the public sector military , most notably providing security for American and British officials in the Iraq war . As a Navy SEAL firearms instructor , Clark grew dissatisfied with the fact that the Navy did not own firing ranges , and instead had to borrow time on Marine or Army ranges or rent facilities that were highly inadequate for serving the Navy ’ s needs . With the idea of creating a “ one - stop shopping ” private training facility , Clark ’ s concept simply lacked the financial backing , until he realized that one of his SEAL trainees ( Erik Prince ) was a man with similar ideas but far greater financial resources . He found a similar opportunity at Strategic Tactical Services where a wealthy investor backed Clark ' s idea which was lost with his departure from Blackwater . He was co - founder at STS , however , like Blackwater he left after a short period of time . He started his own company but has never been able to duplicate the success that once was Blackwater .
