The 3D U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) held the Expert Infantry Badge Test on Fort A.P. Hill in early March 2015.
The Expert Infantry Badge recognizes Infantrymen who have demonstrated a
mastery of critical tasks that build the core foundation of individual
proficiency that allow them to locate, and close with, and destroy the enemy
through fire and maneuver and repel an enemy assault through fire and close combat. The test measures the mastery of individual skills through different evaluations over a five-day period. The evaluation consists of the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), Day and Night Land Navigation, Weapons Master
Skills Testing stations, Individual Tactical Test lanes, Foot March, and the
Weapons Proficiency Test. The evaluations place the candidates under varying
degrees of stress that test their physical and mental abilities as they
execute critical Infantry tasks to established standards.

ROMA ARCHEOLOGICA & RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA 2023. A Proto-Pizza Emerges from a Fresco on a Pompeii Wall.

POMPEII - It may have been no pepperoni with extra cheese, but it still caught the eye of archaeologists working on the ruins of Pompeii, and not because they were hungry.

The researchers were excavating the site earlier this year when they ran across a fresco depicting a silver platter laden with wine, fruit — and a flat, round piece of dough with toppings that looked remarkably like a pizza.
Proto-pizza might be more like it, given that the city of Pompeii was buried by a volcano in 79 A.D., nearly 2,000 years before anything modern civilization might recognize as a pie came into existence.
In a statement published on Tuesday, the archaeologists were insistent that the dish portrayed in the fresco did not mean that the History of Pizza is about to be rewritten. “Most of the characteristic ingredients are missing, namely tomatoes and mozzarella,” they said.
Still, they allowed, the flat, round dough topped with pomegranate, spices and what may have been a precursor of pesto might be “a distant ancestor to the modern dish.”
The fresco was uncovered during the excavation of the atrium of a house in an area of the ancient site that is currently being explored. The house was connected to a bakery, and the mural is a still life of a silver platter bearing a cup of wine, pomegranates, figs, a garland of yellow strawberry tree fruits, dates and nuts. And the pizza.
The image is “pretty unique,” said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director general of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. Though it falls into a fairly common category of images of food called “xenia” — offerings for guests — it is not like most of the roughly 300 examples that have been found in Vesuvian cities.
Mr. Zuchtriegel said the still life showed a contrast between “a modest and simple meal” and the luxurious silver trays painted in “a sophisticated style and technique,” not unlike how pizza, however humble its origins, can now be found in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Marino Niola, an anthropologist and pizza expert, pointed out that there is nothing simpler than mixing water with flour and then baking it. The practice was typical of many ancient cultures. The word focaccia originally derives from the Latin for “hearth.”
Of course, he noted, “not every focaccia became pizza.”
The origin of pizza is not without controversy.
It may be virtually synonymous with Italian cuisine, but some like to point out that dough topped with herbs and cheese originated across the Ionian Sea, in ancient Greece, and that Naples was originally a Greek colony.
“The Greek history of pizza that the Italians want hidden” accused one headline in The Greek City Times.
A recent study of the skeletons of some of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius offered insights into the dietary habits of the ancient inhabitants of Herculaneum, a town 10 miles north of Pompeii.
“We found that they ate a lot of cereals,” said Silvia Soncin, of the Department of Environmental Biology at Rome’s Sapienza University.
Still, mystery remains.
“Obviously with our analysis we couldn’t tell what kind of cereals they ate, whether bread or pizza, and whether or not it was topped with something,” Ms. Soncin said. “This we can’t tell.”
Mr. Zuchtriegel and Mr. Niola both described ancient ovens in Pompeii and Naples as closely resembling the ovens used by modern-day pizza makers. But it took centuries for pizza as we know it to make its way from ancient ovens to takeout boxes.
To begin with, tomato sauce had to be invented — and that only happened after tomatoes were introduced to Italy following Columbus’s voyage to the new world. Even then, it took around 150 years for them to enter the common diet.
The first recipe for tomato sauce is found in a book printed in 1692, by Antonio Latini, a chef based in Naples, said Matteo Ghirigini, the director of Garum, a museum specialized in the history of cooking. Mozzarella, on the other hand, was cited in 16th-century documents.
It was only in the 19th century that the winning combination of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil began hitting tables. According to some experts, including Mr. Niola, the dish can be traced to a chef named Raffaele Esposito, who was said to have prepared it for the queen of a newly unified Italy, Margherita of Savoy.
Esposito chose toppings with the three colors of the Italian flag in mind. Naturally,he named it after the queen.
“That’s the origin myth,” said Mr. Niola, who was one of the people who drafted a brief that in 2017 got a UNESCO committee to put the roughly 3,000 pizza makers of Naples on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The fresco found in Pompeii is important, he said.
“It makes us understand that there is a common thread that ties the present to the distant past,” he said. “It’s an archeo-pizza.”

444th MPAD
New Jersey Army National Guard
After high intensity training under the Fort Indiantown Gap sun, and nights spent trekking through the woods and over the hills of western Pennsylvania, New Jersey has awarded eight soldiers with the Expert Infantry Badge, one of the highest prizes an infantryman can earn.
On day one of the competition, 40 soldiers from all over New Jersey had eyes on the badge. However, as each event came to an end, so did the hopes of some candidates.
“It’s called the Expert Infantry Badge for a reason,” said 1st Sgt. Brian Townsend, the president of the committee that organized EIB 21. “The thing that knocked most people out was the small details. It’s not the Everybody Infantry Badge. It’s the Expert Infantry Badge.”
This particular expert infantry competition returns to New Jersey with brand new feel.
In previous EIB competitions, candidates displayed their warrior competence in a round-robin fashion, with each of the 40 events being timed.
In EIB 21, there are fewer events to complete, however, it is now done in a combat setting, adding a completely new element to the process.
“When the blood got pumping and the adrenaline was flowing, it made it more difficult to execute the tasks that you’re sure you know how to do,” said newly minted EIB recipient 1st Lt. Andrew Stevens of HHC 1/114th. “With the amount of preparation I put in to this, it was all muscle memory, but the combat element made it a bit more difficult.”
Though difficult, it did not stop Stevens from enjoying the tasks.
“The lanes were my favorite part,” he said. “Once we got passed the preparation, I had a really good time.”
Preparation was a huge part of EIB 21.
When the day was over and all of the competitors gathered for dinner, normal chow chatter was nowhere to be found. Instead, tips for the next day’s event feverishly bounced off the walls. Terms like left and right limit, call for fire, SALUTE report, check for shock and SPORTS filled the dining facility, leaving little room to discuss anything else. It sounded like these soldiers just stepped off of the battlefield.
That is what the planning committee intended.
“In the old style, you didn’t get as much battle field experience, but it was a little harder,” Townsend said. “But the EIB 21 adds the element of combat stress to make it more challenging.”
That new level of stress was felt prior to each event.
“Everyone was nervous before the lanes,” said Cpt. Timothy Sorrentino, commander of HHC 1/114th and EIB recipient. “Doing all of the tasks over and over again prior to the competition was easy. But, executing them under the pressure situation was different.”
Sgt. Thomas Fisk, EIB 21 staff and trainer, said this is how soldiers of today should be learning.
“It’s good that they see a scenario and it’s battle focused,” he said. “They know what they are supposed to do with their training and can immediately incorporate it with their mission.”
Fisk enjoyed this opportunity to teach soldiers skills needed to earn the prestigious badge that he received several years prior.
“I like to teach younger guys, any of the soldiers coming up,” the Neptune City native said. “That way, when they get to be sergeants, they can teach the guys coming up. That way we can have a better Army for the future.”
The future is something that Townsend is also looking toward.
“We wanted something to build from since this is the first time we are running EIB 21,” he said. “We mirrored a lot of what was going on at Fort Benning. What I wanted to do was give the state something to build off of, so we can make this competition something great for the state.”
Sorrentino expects a number of his soldiers to take part in next year’s event.
“It’s something that every infantryman should have,” the commander said, a sentiment that all infantrymen at competing at FIG echoed.

Koenders roept op bewijzenbank Syrië te versnellen en financieel te steunen
Nieuwsbericht | 09-03-2017
Minister Koenders (Buitenlandse Zaken) heeft donderdag een oproep gedaan aan meer dan 60 landen om financieel bij te dragen aan de VN-databank voor bewijsmateriaal van ernstige misdaden die in Syrië zijn gepleegd. Hij deed dat in Den Haag tijdens de opening van een internationale conferentie waar 200 deskundigen uit binnen- en buitenland zich buigen over de oprichting van de bewijzenbank.
In de afgelopen 6 jaar is al veel bewijs verzameld van oorlogsmisdaden en schendingen van mensenrechten tijdens het conflict in Syrië. Het is belangrijk deze puzzelstukjes centraal op te slaan en te toetsen op bruikbaarheid in een rechtszaak. ‘De databank wordt een spil voor bewijsvergaring van gruwelijke misdrijven die in Syrië zijn gepleegd. De vervolging van verdachten komt hiermee een stap dichterbij’, aldus Koenders.
‘We moeten nu doorpakken. Deze situatie motiveert ons om, ook als het conflict nog gaande is, straffeloosheid in Syrië aan te pakken. Als de bewijzenbank goed werkt, kan dit de uiteindelijke vervolging bespoedigen’, zegt de minister.
De Algemene Vergadering van de VN besloot eind vorig jaar de databank in het leven te roepen; 105 landen steunden de resolutie. ‘Nu moeten we genoeg middelen vinden om ervoor te zorgen dat het team van het bureau van de Hoge Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten (OHCHR) snel aan de slag kan’, aldus de minister.
Nederland en enkele andere landen hebben al een bijdrage overgemaakt. Koenders sprak de hoop uit dat andere landen zullen volgen. Nederland en Liechtenstein organiseerden vorige week een bijeenkomst in Genève, waar landen ook financiële steun hebben toegezegd.
Koenders: ‘Ook in Syrië moet het recht het laatste woord hebben. De oprichting van de bewijzenbank is een broodnodig lichtpunt in de duistere situatie in Syrië. Met de steun van de internationale gemeenschap kan de waarheid zo goed mogelijk aan het licht worden gebracht en kunnen we daders ter verantwoording roepen.’
Nederland organiseert de expertmeeting in samenwerking met het bureau van de OHCHR. Ook zijn er vertegenwoordigers van Syrische organisaties die bewijsmateriaal verzamelen. Koenders bedankte hen voor hun dappere werk dat ze vaak met gevaar voor eigen leven doen. Aan de conferentie nemen verder experts deel van de internationale hoven en tribunalen die in Den Haag zijn gevestigd.
